    Brian, may I suggest Carol Kaye as sideman? For non-performers, some possibilities are:

    - Linda Creed (& Thom Bell), Next to Gamble & Huff, Bell & Creed were Philly Soul's most important writer-producer duo. Largely responsible for the sound of The Stylistics ("You Are Everything", "You Make Me Feel Brand New"), also wrote many hits for The Spinners ("The Rubberband Man").

    - Sylvia Robinson, founder of Sugarhill Records, the first succesful hip-hop label (The Sugarhill Gang, off course, but also Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Kool Moe Dee).

    - Felice Bryant, formed together with her husband Boudleaux Bryant one of the most important songwriting teams in country music. Wrote also many hit songs for Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, & (especially) The Everly Brothers.

    - Vivian Carter, with her husband James Bracken co-founder of Vee Jay Records, probably the first black owned record company that could succesfully compete with the larger 'white' companies. Artists include The Dells, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Reed, Jerry Butler, and Gene Chandler. Became very succesful in the early '60s with The Four Seasons and the US distribution of early Beatles hits.

    Oh, I said 12 PM PST which is 3 PM EST...so I'm on the money and will close it right on time, no problems.

    Nothing much left in this election except for Jeff Porcaro being one vote shy of a three-way tie for sidemen. I guess Tony Wilson could grab two to catch Laura Nyro...
