Yes it is true i am sorry to say.

That is sad...one of my favourite Motown Writers/Producers.

RIP

Found the name of I G Hunter  in the Detroit Phone Directory. Rang it on the off chance, and was delighted to find it was the great man. Had a nice chat with him ...I think mainly about unreleased product.

Mentioned " I remember when ( Dedicated to Beverly)....think he appreciated it.

Totally agree Dave",I can feel the pain ", an absolute Awesome 45.....More's the pity his Album remains unreleased, and furthermore, the unissued 45's .......Underrated vocalist that deserved more recognition.......Very saddened by the news...

R.I.P. Sir.............

It seems incredible Mike that we're still waiting for them to be released, hopefully they'll fall into the lap of Ady and the team at Ace /Kent records and the long wait will be worth it ,
