Singer, pianist, keyboardist, composer and lyricist Doug Duffey wrote songs for the Funk Pope George Clinton , Rare Earth , Marcia Ball , Zakiya Hooker , Jerry Beach and many others.
He worked with Bernie Worrell , Funkadelic, Maceo Parker , Fred Wesley , Bootsy Collins, Beverly Jo Scott in studios and on CDs with Keith Richard, David Byrne, Herbie Hancock, Steve Jordan, [s.
