January 17, 2022 Records of the Day

Dennis Coffey played on several Motown records along with the Funk Brothers, the musicians who played behind the Motown stars. Coffey can be heard on the psychedelic “Cloud 9” by the Temptations and “Someday We’ll Be Together” by Diana Ross and the Supremes. His own single “Scorpio” sold a million copies in 1971 but is worth no more than $10.00. However, his 45 “Theme from Black Belt Jones,” released by Warner Brothers in 1974, is worth up to $150.00 today.
