A DeBaser reviewer revisits Lamont Dozier's 1974 album Black Bach, initially put off by its cover but ultimately calling it a minor masterpiece. The review highlights lavish orchestration, strong songwriting and Dozier's Motown pedigree. The appraisal situates Black Bach as an overlooked solo statement by a major Motown writer.
