Thursday on the Morning Shift we talked about the 40th anniversary of the film Cooley High. The movie followed a group of kids in Cabrini Green in the mid ‘60s. The soundtrack is filled with Motown classics. Some of the biggest were penned by the songwriting team of Brian and Eddie Holland…and Lamont Dozier. Dozier was in town about a year and a half ago, and sat down with the Morning Shift and special guest Richard Steele, who spun thousands of Dozier’s records over his long career in radio. We revisit part of that conversation. Flickr/bdollproject)
