'Harvey Fuqua, legendary lead singer of the
Moonglows and a key figure in American R&B music passed away in a
Detroit hospital on July 6, 2010 at the age of 80. In that the
Moonglows were one of the greatest R&B groups of all time, Harvey's
place in music history would be assured by that alone. Yet Harvey
Fuqua contributed so much more to R&B music as a producer, arranger,
and label owner that his music career behind the scenes even
surpassed his success at the microphone. It was Harvey Fuqua who
introduced the world to such artists as Marvin Gaye, the Spinners,
Junior Walker, David Ruffin, New Birth, Slyvester and countless
others.'
