Obituary: Lamont Dozier, a member of the dynamite songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland of Motown fame, has died at the age of 81. He and his partners were responsible for the lion's share of the Motown hits of the 1960s.
Snip:
Born in Detroit in 1941, Dozier recorded a few unsuccessful records for different local labels before teaming up with the Holland brothers as the main songwriting and production team for Berry Gordy's Motown Records in 1962.
Speaking to The Guardian in 2015, Dozier explained their successful but often arduous songwriting process.
"We'd get there at 9am and we would sometimes work until 3am," he said. "It was blood, sweat and tears. We pounded on the piano and put our ideas down on a little recorder and just worked and worked them out until we came up with things."

She must have money for Lance to have married her.
Lotsa luck, Anna, marrying a sociopath.

No, she wasn't responsible for Emmett Till's death, for to say she did implies the poor little baby men who DID commit the heinous crime were not solely responsible for the deed.
Nothing could be done about it to begin with. Defense lawyers would have had a field day with it. Those responsible were acquitted. That means there was never going to be justice for him.
She is in hospice anyway and will die soon. No point.

Good news that the murderer Said was convicted for the 2008 murders of his two daughters in what has been characterized as honor killings.
