Ever heard of Sam Dees?

Found this in my stacks while I was cleaning the house....


I remember buying it long time ago.

I think he gained more glory as a song writer as opposed to a solo artist. He wrote for a HELLUVA lot artists, I'm curious about his royalties treatment.

He came to my notice when I heard his duet with soul singer Bettye Swann on "Storybook Children".

Anybody heard of him?

Indeed I have. I've got a couple of his albums on CD (the only two you can get sadly), plus the single After All, which is superb. Not just underrated but woefully unknown. A tremendous songwriter.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently
