THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS GREAT LOBSTER 01' PRIME RIB & STEAK r4f# OF BEEF DANNY RASKIN movie takes on still more of a local flavor . . . as Nate and Esther Willis write from Boca Raton, Fla. that their daughter, Allee Willis, Mumford graduate, wrote two songs in the box office hit with Eddie Murphy. "Neutron Dance" sung by the Pointer Sisters, was film's theme song, and is now charted in the top ten . . . "Stir It Up" is sung by Patti LaBelle. Allee has written hundreds of songs which have been recorded by numerous artists . . . Her biggest hit, "Boogie Wonderland," sung by Earth, Wind and Fire and The Emotions, sold 13 million re- cords. Living in Detroit, Allee was with Columbia Records in 1972, writing ads and radio commer- cials . . . when she started pen- ning her own music . . . bought a tape recorder and piano to begin composing seriously . . . In 1974, Columbia brought out an album, "Childstar" on Epic, with Allee singing her own songs. She quit trying to sing and concentrated on songwriting . . .

Over - the years she has written all types of songs with lightning speed, getting at least 100 a year recorded . . . and sell- ing over 21 million records. But Allee's success in music isn't her only claim to fame .. .

And still this isn't all Allee can do . . . One night in 1983, she stayed up the entire evening glu- ing knobs and dials collected•from the '50s onto a huge piece of paper where Allee had thrown some paint . . . Next day someone walked into her house and bought it for $1,200 . . .
