Songwriters Hall Of Fame, Todd Alsup and Lamont Dozier!

I had a wonderful evening last night with Todd Alsup at the Kaufman Center for the Songwriters Hall of Fame Abe Olman Scholarship for Excellence in Songwriting awards ceremony.

Todd Alsup w/ Lamont Dozier
This year Todd was selected as one of the showcase artists on the 2009 Songwriters Hall of Fame CD for his song "The Good Fight" and spent the evening mixing it up with current and previous recipients of the award including Wes Hutchinson and new Major Who and Threshold Music Recording Studios friend Kirsten Thein.

Preceding the award ceremony there was a Master Class given by songwriting icon Lamont Dozier, of Holland-Dozier-Holland, the songwriting powerhouse who created the Motown Sound, writing the hits for the Supremes, the Temptations and many more. Real words of wisdom and insight from a legend!

Todd and I spent some time with Mr. Dozier, who was also celebrating his 68th birthday! A brief list of Mr. Doziers credits include: Where Did Our Love Go, Baby Love, How Sweet it is (To Be Loved by You), Stop! In The Name of Love, I can't help myself (Sugar Pie Honeybunch), Standing in the Shadows of Love, and You Can't Hurry Love. Wow:)
