He asked my expertise and I had no idea and cannot find ANYWHERE online that states the info, SO...
Who wrote the 1974 hit by Lamont Dozier: Fish Ain't Biting on the ABC record label
On the record, it lists a: M Jackson
It seems that even Casey didn't know. On an early August 1974 episode, in the intro, he says that it was written by M Jackson...
Michael? Millie? Does anyone know?

Thanks Pete. I wondered if it was someone prominent in the music industry. Since Lamont Dozier was a prominent songwriter himself, I was surprised he did not write that song.

I was surprised as well. Thanks, as always, Pete to the rescue!

McKinley Jackson produced the song as well as co-wrote it. Songwriting label credit goes to both McKinley Jackson and James Reddick. The site that Pete refers to adds additional songwriting credit to Lamont Dozier: "Lyrics by: Lamont Dozier, McKinley Jackson, James Reddick" |
