Background

Garrett is a Mississippi born singer, composer and radio D.J., and a graduate of the Missouri School for the Blind. [1] [2]

In addition to his part in composing "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours", [3] he wrote several songs with Stevie Wonder, including the Jermaine Jackson song "Let's Get Serious", [4] and for The Spinners, "It's a Shame". [5] Garrett and Wonder would eventually be involved in a legal battle over a song. [6]

Garrett worked in radio during the 1960s and 1970s. [7] [8] In his days working in Philadelphia and Detroit, he was known as "The Rockin' Mr. G". [9]

In 1976, his solo track "You're My Everything" reached number 15 in the UK Singles Chart. Without any further chart presence, he became a one-hit wonder. [10]

Following the legal dispute relating to the song, "I Just Called to Say I Love You", [11] Garrett and Wonder have mended their relationship over the years. During his 2007 tour, during a performance on August 30, Wonder paid tribute to Garrett by singing a medley of songs they co-created, and also introduced Garrett to the audience by acknowledging his presence at the show, and thanking him for years of friendship and support.[ citation needed ]

Garrett resides in the Portland, Oregon, area (in Beaverton, a city just west of Portland) and continues to perform throughout the United States.[ citation needed ] As of 2004, he was the featured vocalist with a 1950s style rock and roll style group called the Boomer Band. [12] He has also worked with saxophonist and Oregon Music Hall of Fame member, Patrick Lamb. They have composed songs together and in a 2013 interview with the Portland Tribune by Rob Cullivan, lamb recalled how he would be working on a groove and a chord change and a concept, with ten minutes later, Garrett would be singing a hook. Lamb called him pure realness and said that he was the bomb. [13]

Career

1960s

Garrett recorded the song "Linda Sue" bw "Tell the World" which was released on the Van Dyk label (cat# 1606) in November 1964.

[24] Years later, Garrett recalled when he was working as a DJ in Detroit, he would play Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" and Ray Stevens', "Gitarzan", reasoning that the songs being so popular, there must have been black people buying them as well. [25]

In 1985, Garrett and Lloyd Chiate took Legal action against Stevie Wonder over the song "I Just Called to Say I Love You" claiming that Wonder stole the song from them. With attorney Jack Whitley representing Garrett, the claim was that Garrett and Chiate wrote the song in 1978 when staying with Wonder in a Hollywood hotel. Wonder heard the rehearsals and was give a demo on tape. The song Garrett and Chiate wrote was I "Just Called To Say". It was registered with BMI in 1979. On Garrett and Chiate's song, it had the chorus "I just called to say I love you, I just called to say I think you're fine". Wonder's refrain had a quicker tempo and said, "I just called to say I love you, I just called to say how much I care". According to Jack Whitley, the chords were the same, and both songs were in four-four time. But Wonder's melody line was different. A 10 million dollar lawsuit was filed. [46] In February 1990, the findings were in Wonder's favor with Garrett at some stage having come over to Wonder's side, leaving Chiate to pursue the matter. [47]
