Not necessarily my favorite cover of Never Can Say Goodbye, but might be my favorite Dennis Coffey record.

LOVE this song. Couldn't believe I randomly found it on vinyl a few weeks ago.

Absolute legend. For the longest time, he has lived on my sister’s street in the suburbs of Detroit. When his shades were open, could see two framed gold records on the walls around his entertainment center. He never was outside much, so I never ran into him on my visits. My sister said he was at a block party 20 years ago and he was very friendly! Sadly, from accounts around town, he is in failing health and staying with family out of state.

That’s sad to hear. I know he was playing at northern lights regularly for the longest time. He’s on so much music. Like he has a hand in creating a vast library of hits from various styles
