Beautiful woman. She was 29 when she appeared in Grease, but was believable as an 18 year old.

Lamont Dozier.

It has been sad to hear about the death of one of the greatest song writers of all time, Lamont Dozier. He was part of the Motown writing & production team, Holland - Dozier - Holland.

They were responsible for creating alot of the Classic Motown Sound during the Mid 60s.

Lamont was a singer songwriter who met up with the Holland brothers at Motown in the early 60s. The trio went on to produce & write hits for the Supremes, Four Tops, Martha & The Vandellas, Marvin Gaye, The Isley Brothers, R. Dean Taylor, Miracles, & loads more. They helped to put Motown on the world map.

A falling out with Berry Gordy saw Holland Dozier Holland leave Motown & setup the Inviticus label. This led to hits by Freda Payne, Chairman Of The Board, Honey Cone, & many more.

Lamont went solo in 1973 and sang & produced a number of hits. He wrote Odyssey’s “Going back to my roots”, Phil Collin’s " Two Hearts" & Co wrote “Loco in Acapulco” for the Four Tops.

I’m raising a glass to Lamont for all the great times I’ve had listening to & dancing to his music. Also to the many DJing gigs I have played his tunes to adoring dancefloors.
