Valerie Simpson (of Ashford & Simpson fame) sang some of the songs (which she had also co-written) on the last Tammi/Marvin album <EM>Easy</EM>. <BR/><BR/>Ritz asks Marvin about this and he is at first reluctant to talk about it - Motown wanted it kept secret, for obvious reasons. Apparently on some tracks, VS's imitation of Tammi is so good that years later even MG struggled to remember who was singing.<BR/><BR/>I got a charmingly yellowing old secondhand edition of the book off of Amazon marketplace and will happily send it to you when I'm done if you like...As your prize, perhaps.davyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704293846638226252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-71655625013655075452008-11-07T10:25:00.000+00:002008-11-07T10:25:00.000+00:00*apple for teacher*I know I know!!
