I am so sad to hear of Frank's passing. Frank was one of my favorite producers with Motown and his productions were top-notch. I still feel that his recording of "Do I Love You [[Indeed I Do)" is one of the top 5 Motown songs ever recorded. I understand that Frank wanted to focus on writing and producing instead of becoming a singing artist, but Motown should have released the single regardless. To me, it was the biggest mistake Motown ever did in not releasing a song.
I feel that the 70's Supremes would not have been as successful on the charts if they didn't have Frank behind them. I think that he was the group's 2nd best writer/producer [[the 1st being Holland-Dozier-Holland). His work on Still Waters Run Deep, New Ways But Loves Stays, and Nature Planned It contain some of the best work Motown ever put out.
He will sorely missed...
