Norman Whitfield

Norman from Soul to Funk

As I already wrote in the Black Mixtape story, the first golden door I opened up in the music world has led me to Norman Whitfield.
First of all with my beloved Undisputed Truth and the Joe Harris/Brenda Evans/Billie Calvin starting lineup, but also with The Temptations, Rose Royce, Mammatapee, Stargard, Nytro, Dream Machine, Marvin Gaye, Willie Hutch, Spyder Turner, Junior Walker and many more.

Innovative production at his best with Genius Norman!
