A message from Jessie who's a friend of the daughter of Dick Griffey: I am bearing some sad news. Dick Griffey father of my friend Carolyn Griffey has passed away  this morning.  He was the CEO of Solar Records (Sound Of Los Angeles Records), manager and producer who brought us Shalamar, The Whispers, Lakeside, Dynasty, Midnight Starr etc. It would be nice if you give him a mention on your radio shows and play some of the songs from the groups he created on the Solar Record Label.Those of you with publications lets write up and remember that he was to the disco funk era, to what Berry Gordy was to cross over soul. He was a music pioner who should be remembered on this day.
