NORMAN WHITFIELD 1941-2008
He didn't get all the publicity of Berry Gordy or Motown performers, but he was at the heat of many notable recordings like "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and most of the Temptations recordings.
Mr. Whitfield died September 18th. He won two Grammys during his career.
Most often he'd write with Barrett Strong and along with "Grapevine", wrote "Ain't Too proud to Beg" and "Just My Imagination."
He produced song like "Beauty is Only Skin Deep, "Ball of Confusion," "Cloud Nine," and "Papa Was a Rolling Stone."
One of the Greats.
