Wow I didn't know this brother had his hands all over so many classic albums. He had a true gift as a songwriter. RIP

Spinners yes. But so many others. Stylistics was his creation. That entire genre. Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes....
Then there's this little group called the OJays. it's really too many to list without the help of Google or music sites like Discogs

This is the loss of a musical titan- one whom the average person, whose life has been soundtracked by his music, was most likely unaware of.

I love music second only to God and have always been one of those kats who reads album liner notes and wants to know who is who behind the scenes making things happen. So I know Thom Bell’s name well.

That said, I want to say, thank you King for your prolific and indelible stamp upon the lexicon of music. Go well, Brother.

Pops used to play the Stylistics all the time so all I grew up was hearing his music
