Many thanks for that Snakepit.
Ivy was one of my favourite writers/producers, and was a classic example of an 'A' team' player who somehow got stuck in the 'B' team whilst at Motown!
Very interesting to read about the Mickey Stevenson songwriting credit arrangement! And then how Ivy repaid Mickey for his help getting him to Motown [[and then guiding him whilst there) by leaving the writing credit agreement as it was, even after Mickey had left the company!
Sounds like a top bloke.
And I totally agree that a CD of his work is long overdue.
Maybe ACE can take this one on!
Cheers
Paul
