“Never Can Say Goodbye” by the Jackson 5
Written by Clifton Davis (pictured with Xernona Clayton, founder of the Trumpet Awards). Whodathunkit?! This mild-mannered man is a songwriter-turned-actor-turned-minister who played Rueben Gregory from the TV sitcom “Amen” opposite former “The Jeffersons” star Sherman Hemsley. Michael Jackson said this was his favorite song from the Jacksons’ old days. Davis also wrote “Lookin’ Through the Windows” for the J5.
