Willie Hutch – Foxy Lady
Biography
Hutch produced albums by acts such as The 5th Dimension, Michael Jackson and Smokey Robinson.
Besides writing hit songs such as The Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There”, Hutch also recorded several albums for Motown (and later for Whitfield Records, run by former Motown producer Norman Whitfield), and had Top 20 R&B hits with singles such as “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out” and “Slick” (both 1973). Following in the tradition of Curtis Mayfield, he recorded the soundtrack album for the blaxploitation films The Mack (1973) and Foxy Brown (1974).
Moving back to Dallas in 1994, he continued to record and perform while living comfortably on royalties from old hits and new samples. His manager, Anthony Voyce, said of Hutch: “I’ve never met a more generous and caring person.” He died in 2005.
He is survived by six children, and was the uncle to Cold 187um of the rap group Above The Law.[1]

Samples helped Hutch gain some long overdue recognition, but he's still underrated and slept on within the soul genre. He doesn't get a fraction of the props he deserves.

He is appreciated by many producers cause I swear I heard samples from his music in many productions

He scored two of my favorite Blaxplotation flicks and was a great freaking composer. It's a shame that he's slept on these days, even to a lesser degree than Mr. Mayfield- but at of us here have appreciation for a real artist.

So underrated, deserves WAY more credit.

One of the select few that could produce, write, and perform their own music in the soul genre. I respect Willie Hutch and other similar artists who have done the same an awful lot for that.
