Perren lived in California from 1968 until his death, but grew up in Englewood, New Jersey.
She was a budding playwright, not a songwriter, when they met, but they ended up collaborating on many songs, including the frequently covered holiday tune, "Give Love On Christmas Day" and "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday", a No. 2 hit for Boyz II Men in 1991.
The Corporation didn't stay together long, but Perren soon established himself as a leading behind-the-scenes figure of the funk-disco era, working on hits like "Love Machine" (the Miracles, 1975), "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" (Tavares, 1976) and "If I Can't Have You" (Yvonne Elliman, 1978).

 Music : Cooley High (1975 Film)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The 1975 nostalgia picture Cooley High has aged well enough--inspiring the concept of Boyz II Men's debut album (which included a hit cover of the theme song, 'It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday') and recently growing in stature as a classic of the era's fl cinema--to prompt this rerelease of its soundtrack album.
Former Spinner G.C. Cameron's version of 'Goodbye,' guitarist Luther Allison's 'Luther's Blues,' and a handful of snippets from Freddie Perren's score are included, but the real meat of the disc lies in its selection of mid-'60s Motown classics.
And among unsurprising choices by the Supremes, Temptations, and Four Tops, are two songs that connect most clearly to the film's themes of youthful abandon and innocence: the full giddy six-and-a-half minutes of Stevie Wonder's 'Fingertips' and the fragile vow of the Miracles' '(You Can) Depend on Me.' --Rickey Wright
