Hi Folks. I did Don's show live twice in the 70's. I had just gotten married and my wife and I were looking for a house in LA. We saw Don in the bar at the Hyatt on Sunset Strip. He sent us over a bottle of champagne. Very cool. Happy Birthday Don.

Hi Mike,What happened was , was that G&H ran into Don one day and Don asked them if they would be interested in coming up with a new theme song for his show.
So then G&H asked whoever wanted to, to submit a song to be considered, but of course, G&H's song won out, and deservedly so.
Don was at the session and was very congenial and down to earth.
Infact, there have been times where he gave me a shout out on the air, once with Atlantic Starr and later with Ronnie Dyson!

I know I a few days late with the B-day greeting,but Happy Belated B-day Don C.

This is for Dennis Coffey. I remember seeing your appearance on Soul Train. If memory serves me correct,you and the Detroit Guitar Band performed "Scorpio" and if I'm not mistaken "Taurus". I never forget seeing bassist Bob Babbitt playing the bass solo on "Scorpio".

'Til this day,that's one of my all time favorite bass solos. I'm glad you and Bob were filmed on the "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" movie". :-)

Great memories :-)
