Four Tops. Bernadette.
Written by H - D - H. Produced by Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland.
Sublime.
Thank you so much for these two but especially this one. Is that Stuart Maconie? Sounds like. This one goes with that LIMF video I posted although that one was a bit annoying since it was only 6 minutes long or something stupid. This was much better. I did skip through it a bit bc it's so hot and my brain is struggling. Once it cools down a bit I'll listen properly.
No , thank you lol these wonderful videos zinnia - our thread is growing! I heard Lamont say his name. So, i think so too.Thank you so much for these two but especially this one.

This is our guy. Let the celebrations continue, lol.
That works thank you. Now that's the way people should be written about, with respect. Lovely article, thank you zinnia.Motown songwriter-producer Lamont Dozier dies aged 81
Dozier was the middle name of the celebrated Holland-Dozier-Holland team that wrote and produced You Can’t Hurry Love and dozens of other hits.www.watfordobserver.co.uk
I hope this works! Found a lovely little article in the Watford Observer remembering Lamont Dozier. Nothing new, I guess, but it's been nicely put together, it wasn't totally predictable, I saw a couple of bits that were new to me. The quote from Duke Fakir was new to me. And the 2001 Guardian quote from Lamont about the songs starting out as slow ballads but ending up much faster because they were aimed at teenagers (not their parents, lol) was also new to me. But mostly I just love the fact that the Watford Observer wanted to note his passing. And it is a proper article, not just a little sidebar thing. Awesome!
@wendijane - the WATFORD Observer! I'm so stoked.
