Can't think of a bad record he's ever been associated with whether it's as an artist, writer or producer. Seeing him 'live' in UK several years ago was a rare privilege. His 'After all' is one of the greatest soul records of all time.

in the words of the great lionel blair....give us a clue

Its there now Andy, and also the Loleattta Holloway LP on Aware, classic early 70s LP of ballads and dancers, many penned/prod by Dees.

Noticed how you can always spot Sam Dees ballads a mile away, no matter who's singing them?

Personal Dees faves though, have got to be his own recordings- Child of the streets (torturously good!!!) and Signed Miss Heroin....believe signed Miss Heroin was from the same session (is this right?) but didn't end up on the album.

What, no Whitney, Sean?

...The S. Dees songs on Ms. Houston's albums are always among their highlights, and sometimes the only ones...

Agree Tony,

It was just a quick dump (so to speak!)

"Lover For Life" in particular, has always been a fave!

"Girl overboard" by Miss Moore

Now I could give you a big list - but I couldn't confirm they are all 'must haves'

There were one or two 'not so good' ones recorded - Alley on Jay Boy for one

But to be honest, the good ones far outweigh the bad ones by miles
