#ThrowbackSaturday Laughing with Motown Legend himself Mr. Barrett Strong eating outside at #VinsettaGarage. I know he's living in California it's been awhile since I've seen him. I spoke to him on the phone a few months ago he seemed OK. One of our many get togethers talking about creating music, proper songwriting, riding the rhythm, what Aretha said, how he loves Bobby Blue, eating with Marvin, why they always ask about David & the 3rd of September and enjoying life! I was honored to co-produce his last album #StrongHoldII. Putting this legend, Grammy winner, SongwriterHOF, on the pedestal where he belongs an icon whom I'm happy I can call my friend💯#BornInMississippi #RaisedinDetroit #sonofapreacherman #Songwriter #moneythatswhatiwant #TheDells #GladysKnight #EdwinStarr #MarvinGaye #UndisputedTruth #NormanWhitfield #TheMarvelettes #IsleyBrothers #TheArtistics only songwriter covered by #TheBeatles & #RollingStones 💥 #MotownHistory #DetroitBlues #RandB #Motorcity #DetroitLegend #BigHeart #PerfectPitch #Genious #PianoPlayer #truestory ⭐️ (at Vincetta Garage Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrxPyKuPtc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

”I’m Going Down” 1976—>2002—>2019 . ”All the girls see the (boy), look at his kicks (boy) Look at his car (boy)...” From car washing* 💦 and going down when he was not around to burning 🔥 his car (see @mahalia & @ellamai Full video)... she finally know what he did 💔and can’t forgive because he’s the reason she’s so ”down” 😏... . . * "I'm Going Down" was a song written and produced by Norman Whitfield, and performed by Rose Royce.

It was the 3rd of September. Temptations - Papa Was A Rollin Stone never knew lyric controversy existed. When he died all he left us was ... A. A Loan B. Alone Song writer Norman Whitfield has passed but Barrett Strong is still alive. #questionoftheday #temptations #papawasarollinstone #lyrics #alone #aloan #whatdoyouthink #barrettstrong #normanwhitfield #lawofattraction #followforfollow https://www.instagram.com/p/CEqQnyejXFH/?igshid=w277cis1jn8n

Captain’s log, 202005.12... 18/365 Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong with production by Whitman and lead vocals primarily by Eddie Kendricks, The Temptations classic tugs at your heartstrings, especially when there is actually someone you admire from afar. Some of us has gone through this in some way, shape or form while others, like myself, are going through it. Unfortunately with the quarantined life that sane people are adhering to, it’s going to stay in our imagination for a very long while...

Remembering the late great Norman Whitfield on his birthday ✨ He is one of the most influencial songwriter, producer & hitmaker in Music History. Norman was a true genius and the man behind the greatest hits of The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Undisputed Truth, Rose Royce, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Willie Hutch and many others. -- #NormanWhitfield #NormanJesseWhitfield #TheTemptations #Temptations #MarvinGaye #TheUndisputedTruth #UndisputedTruth #RoseRoyce #GladysKnightAndThePips #WillieHutch #SpyderTurner #Soul #SoulMusic #Funk #SoulFunk #PsychedelicFunk #Producer #Songwriter #Composer #Hitmaker #MusicLegend #Groove #Music #AfroAmerican #AfricanAmerican #BlackHistory #BlackCulture #BlackMusic #BlackMixtape https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFILv9pFeT/?igshid=w2dad3a1yj9w

Feeling like a little Paul Williams from the Temptations singing his signature lead on the Motown classic “Don’t Look Back.” #detroit #hitsvilleusa #smokeyrobinson #normanwhitfield #paulwilliams #davidruffin #eddiekendricks #otiswilliams #melvinfranklin https://www.instagram.com/p/B77Teiin9O9/?igshid=1a9mvxdhet409

As I prep for my upcoming event I notice It is strangely difficult to find photos of #NormanWhitfield from the #Motown “the golden years”
