Legendary Producer and Songwriter Thom Bell has died at the age of 79. One of the co-architects of The Philadelphia Sound, Bell’s work with acts such as The Delfonics, The Stylistics, and The Spinners has been the soundtrack to our childhoods and the base for sampling in hip-hop and R&B. Considered one of the greatest songwriter-producers of all time, Bell won Producer of the Year in 1975 from The Grammys and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006. Thank you for the music. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. 🤍🕊️ ( 📸 Credit: Getty Images | #ThomBell ) Repost from @okayplayer https://www.instagram.com/p/CmgPogzOp8C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rock ‘n’ Roll. The First 25 Years: 1972. In America’s singles chart the Philadelphia soul sound, which the #delfonics and #theintruders had kept bubbling for 4 yrs, suddenly boiled over as producers #thombell and #gambleandhuff got into their stride. The former was responsible for hits by #thestylistics and #thespinners , while Gamble and Huff furthered careers of #joesimon #theojays (pictured) the hit Back Stabbers. #haroldmelvinandthebluenotes and #billypaul #rockandsoul #philadelphiasound #70s https://www.instagram.com/p/CAZAZ3rlS7s/?igshid=csv75hwnweht
