    Sad indeed. Ron wrote loads of Invictus/Hot Wax tracks with Holland-Dozier-Holland... "Band Of Gold" and "Give Me Just A Little More Time" just some of them. Rest in peace Ron

    It is well documented he was born in Detroit. None of the obituary information gives any indication where he lived at the time of his death. California? Detroit? Anyone know?

    Very cool, very interesting record. Thank you Snakepit. It is also probably the first time that the Supremes are referred to as "Dream Girls" with the line "the kind of girls that you see in your Dreams....."
