This would also be the first person from a season 12 movie to die.
Specifically she wrote “Down to Earth,” the song that plays during the insane McDonald’s dance sequence.
I know they also sang or mentioned some of her songs in at least a couple of other episodes.
RIP. I love the groove of old EW&F songs, and if you haven’t seen the excellent French movie “The Intouchables,” do. The party scene where Driss dances to “Boogie Wonderland” in front of all the snooty, classical music-loving guests is fantastic.
Too short a life for someone with such a talent for writing music. RIP.
If only we could have seen the movie she thought she was scoring.
Another great one from Detroit. Sigh. Such a fertile ground back in the days of the auto industry. A footprint going far and wide.
