Celebrating Keith Hughes

[Clifton Miller]

Keith's funeral today in Oxfordshire was a touching celebration of this remarkable man, of both his lives: Motown and Merlinco, the latter being his data software analysis business.

Family and friends were out in force, and among others speaking, longtime pal Tim Phillips said that Don't Forget The Motor City was the achievement in which he took the most pride. Another called him "half-man, half-Motown," to the gathering's delight.

There were long-distance contributions from Harry Weinger [["Keith always thought to look where I hadn't") and Andy Skurow, and the music played included [[of course) the Satintones' "Motor City" and the Four Tops' "Reach Out I'll Be There." Had he heard the latter today, Keith would have pointed out that it was an alternate vocal to the hit.

Rest in peace, sir.

Alternate vocal? Is it currently available? Or, is that a hint concerning the mysterious next Expanded Edition Andy Skurow hinted about?

Keith left a lasting legacy and I will be always grateful for that. Thank you Mr Hughes.
