As I read my morning paper I noticed an Obituary for Ron Murphey. Reading his obit made me think of the unsung heroes in the creation of any new musical form. His masters at NSC (National Sound Corporation) helped define the sounds of Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Jeff Mills. He was a student of how Motown and Fortune mastered their records. He was a pioneer that helped other pioneers and he should not be forgotten.

After following the Fortune link I noticed Ron was the author of that great history of Fortune on Soulful Detroit
