RIP Don. Massive figure in Detroit soul. Still making great records in the 70s too.

Sorry to hear that.  Other than The Motowners, The Pied Pipers, Ed Wingate, Ollie McGloughlin and Mike Hanks, and Popcorn Wylie were the main producers of Detroit Soul.  And Don was there at Motown, Thelma, Golden World, Solid Hitbound, and took Detroit Soul to Memphis.

R.i.p don

Your wealth is in your health, Don Davis was a multi-millionaire banker worth in excess of $200,000,000 

 

His production credits and musical know how are the stuff of legend ! However in recent years his failing health left him in a Care Home.

 

I could say a lot more, but RIP Don Davis......

rip mr don davis a true legend to soul music............

Massive music man. Too many too mention as top, but Johnny Taylor Groovesville productions were maybe just the ones for me. Along with many other works of genius.

 

RIP

R.I.P. Don, another legend gone but not forgotten.

Don't forget the fabulous array of unreleased gems that Goldmine released as Don's UK licensee from 1995. Some great stuff on those CDs. RIP Don Davis.

Sadly another huge loss to the Detroit music scene, and a name that once spotted in the credits led to investigation and almost guaranteed quality.

RIP Don
