R.I.P. Joel Dorn (1942-2007) WE REMEMBER: Jazz producer Joel Dorn dies at 65
The entertainment field has suffered the recent losses of veteran record producer Joel Dorn. Dorn – a former disc-jockey for a Philadelphia jazz radio station who went on to work at Atlantic Records with such artists as Roberta Flack, Max Roach and the Neville Brothers – died of a heart attack on Monday in New York. He was 65. He produced Flack's 1969 debut album "First Take" and with the singer won consecutive Record of the Year Grammys, for "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (1972) and "Killing Me Softly With His Song" (1973). | |

I love that album. I didn't know he died.  Thanks. | |

He was doing a great job this decade of reissuing past works he produced!
