Soulpuss:

Clayton Ivey and Terry Woodford were signed to a production deal with Motown but were supposedly very unhappy with their tenure there. They were dissatisfied with the treatment of 1975 Supremes album. They also had an artist named Gwen Owens who they tried to sign to Motown without success. I believe that they took Gwen Owens and her later group called HOT to Casablanca and they charted a few singles.

They also worked with some country artists, most notably Hank Williams Jr. To me, their sound always had a "rock country" feel to it.

They also had a pretty tight group called The Magic Disco Machine who had a great song called "Scatchin"..

Clayton Ivey and Terry Woodford with Suzee Ikeda (what ever happened to her?) were involved with production of one of my favorite Temptations albums, "A Song For You." I just discovered this going through my old albums. They also seem to have been involved with Neal McCoy, Little Milton, Johnnie Taylor, Millie Jackson, Lou Rawls, and the Commodores. They have quite an impressive track record and it is odd that they are not widely known by the public. It seems the failed 1975 Supremes album (Scherrie, Mary, Cindy) has overshadowed some great successes.

Back in 1979 during the pinnacle of disco, I attended a huge dance convevtion in Miami where I was part of a music panel and Terry Woodford was one of the panelists, along with Vince Montana, Jerry Goldstein(War)myself and several others.
Terry was a very nice fellow and we spoke at length after the forum about his productions, especialy the Tempts and Hot stuff.
I will find the pic of all of us at the table and I will post it.

If memory serves they worked on another Temptation album that was'nt as popular as "A Song for You" and that was House Party.
