Play it: Songs of Willie Hutch
Willie Hutch, Motown legend, died Sept. 19 in Duncanville, Texas. With all the hubub about Hurricane Rita, this somehow slipped past everyone for the past week.Hutch is known mainly for two distinct things. One is as a songwriter for Motown, penning such hits as "I'll Be There" and "Never Can Say Goodbye" for the Jackson 5. His songs were also performed by Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, The Spinners, The Commodores and, more recently, Usher.
As a solo artist, Hutch is best known for his soundtrack work, specifically for the groundbreaking blaxploitation films The Mack, and Foxy Brown. The Mack is considered to be one of the era's finest, featuring "Brother's Gonna Work it Out" and "Slick."

I am very sad to hear of the passing of prolific songwriter and musician, Willie Hutch.
Mr. Hutch was indeed an underrated musical genius. I hope that his passing was painless and peaceful.
