*** Helping Write And Produce ***
Lamont Dozier is the #1 songwriter in America. And for every #1 song that Lamont has written, Lamont has also produced it!

Going
to be totally self indulgent here. Must still be feeling the after effects
of the great Lamont Dozier concert that I went to a couple of weeks ago.
Lamont Dozier? Well, 1981 must have been a really busy year for the man.
Not only was he working on his 'Lamont Dozier' album for M & M Records,
he was helping write and produce these two fine pieces of soul music. As
I have stated before, the man is a genius.

Flight's album came out on Capitol Records and you can tell by the sleeve
notes that the group are as bigger fans of Lamont as I am, and I know many
of you are. The group comprise of a base of four artists, Sy Jeffries, David
Swanson, Brynwood Tanner and Anthony Patler. The band draws on several additional
musicians to give the overall fuller feel to the outing. Although there
are several uptempo moments, Sy and David's vocals tend to compliment the
melodies when they drop down a gear or two. Without doubt, the highlight
of this 'blue-eyed' soul set is the quite magnificent 'Hip-notic Lady'.
One of Lamont's finest songs from this period. File under classic.
"Hip-notic Lady"
" A MUST HAVE BEFORE DIE"
"A VERY,VERY GOOD SOUL ALBUM"
