A  proud musical and cultural legacy, and it sounds as though her wider impact on disadvantaged children was probably just as important.

Despite having heard Bill Cosby's 'Little Old Man' I'd never realised he co-wrote the earlier Stevie Wonder track, 'Uptight' (that has the same backing track) with Sylvia Moy.

Henry Cosby, the co-writer of "Uptight", is not related to the now infamous Bill Cosby, much to the relief of Henry's family

Oops- many thanks for the correction!

Indeed a real talent by helping write this, and others. 

A sad loss R I P.
