Behind every great singer or band, there’s a great producer. Dat somt de intentie van deze serie wel zo’n beetje op. De invloed van de écht geweldige producers van deze tijd. Norman Whitfield is er zeker ook eentje. ‘Was’ moeten we zeggen. Withfield overleed in 2008. Kris Coorde (van Nummer van de Dag) neemt je mee naar het werk van de legendarische Norman Whitfield.

Enjoy!

Liner notes:

If Holland-Dozier-Holland were the hot shots of Motown during the single-era, then Norman Whitfield was The Man during the lp-era. A songwriter during the former period, Whitfield occasionally produced early Motown songs, but he flourished in the latter era. The Temptations, Undisputed Truth and Rose Royce were his instruments. They played the vision of Norman Whitfield, one of Motown’s greatest.
