July 12, 201014 yr Hi Dave Thats sad news. He was a great guy, used to work in Brad's shop from time to time. He painted a whole bunch of record boxes for his shop, they look so cool. He also did the artwork for a few of the early classic funky sleeves for Parliment/Funkadelic. Alround nice guy. Dave

August 19, 201014 yr That's a lovely tribute you posted there... well done and thanks. RIP Hermon Weems... sad news but he left some great music behind. The Supremes version of "You've Got To Pay The Price" is one of my all time favs. Edited August 19, 201014 yr by isis
August 19, 201014 yr Author Thanks Folks For all your comments, the credit for the photo's must go to Mike. Hermon's family where supposed to send me some photo's and a copy of the funeral programme, but there wasn't enough programmes printed to go around all the people that attended the funeral. So as yet nothing has turned up. Dave Welding

August 20, 201014 yr Dave,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks fot the information. I presume that Hermon was the co-writer of Sam & Kitty's Northern Soul classic - 'I've got something good' - with an L Dandridge being the other writer. All in all a talented Writer, Musician, and Artist, who will be very sadly missed. R.I.P. Hermon, your talets uplifted me.!
August 24, 201014 yr WELL DONE KID, WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET PEOPLE LIKE HERMON...............WHO CONTINUE TO GIVE US SUCH PLEASURE & NEVER RECEIVED THE RECOGNICIAN THEY DESERVED.

ALIVE & KICKING & THANKS TO HIM PEOPLE LIKE HERMON WILL GET THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE. RIP BROTHER HERMON ORFANSFROMDETROIT
