RIP to the man that changed the sound of 70s R&B, Thom Bell. From the Delfonics to so many other Philly groups, he developed a black classical sound for a new era of soul. Such a pioneer in music. I was and still am greatly inspired by his work. When I worked on my Delfonics album, I would speak to William Hart about Thom Bell’s process, etc. now William and Thom are gone, but their legacy remains. #philly #phillysoul #sigma #delfonics #stylistics #spinners #ojays #blackmusic
