Mike Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Thanks for passing the sad news on Detroit Free Press has a feature Sylvia Moy, Motown pioneer and Stevie Wonder collaborator, dies at 78 https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/2017/04/16/sylvia-moy-motown-pioneer-and-stevie-wonder-collaborator-dies-78/100553300/ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Seano Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
