Gosh, we really do have to thank him for the music he, in collaboration with his fellow composers,has left us.

Classic songs that will go on and on.

Going Back To My Roots by Odyssey was one of his own.

If he'd only helped to write Reach Out I'll Be There, he would still have been a legend. He knew how to get the best out of Levi Stubbs

Thank you Becky for the reminder. I'd seen it but not really registered it!
