Many thanks to reese and marybrewster for sleuthing out the gospel singer who did "Reach Out" [[BeBe Winans).

Dozier talked a lot about the feelings behind the songs, and how he arrived at them. He would even break up with girls just so he could go through that experience and write a song about it. He and the Holland brothers covered so many topics so well, they had to get creative, like when they came up with the "honeymoon in separate rooms" story for "Band Of Gold." Was interesting to hear exactly what was going on in that story.

He also talks about recording outside of the Motown confines for the first time. Los Angeles had plenty of great musicians, but Motwon had a familiarity that made these productions special. H-D-H used the same group of guys whenever possible.

Reimagination is his latest album - a collection of his songs reinterpreted in ballad form with lots of guest musicians, including Cliff Richard, Graham Nash, Lee Ann Womack and Todd Rundgren.
