Time to appreciate a soul songwriter

You might not know the name JERRY RAGOVOY, but you've probably heard a few of his songs.
The American songwriter and producer recently died, age 80.
I've been thinking about some of the Ragovoy notable competitions this morning.
He wrote "Time is on My Side," popularized by The Rolling Stones. He wrote "Piece of My Heart" by Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company (cover) and Erma Franklin (original). Underrated soul crooner Garnet Mimms sang the Ragovoy composition "Cry Baby."
Ragovoy also wrote several songs for Lorraine Ellison, including the classic "Stay With Me."
These soul songs would make for a great iPod playlist during our current HEAT WAVE.
I'll put one together this morning, in appreciation for Ragovoy's work.
