| RIP Thom Bell @whipsaw Backstabbers is all time! Spinners, Delfonics, Stylistics, Dionne Warwick, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Elton John, Teddy Pendergrass, Archie Bell, Johnny Mathis, Billy Paul, Phyliss Hyman… just so much love ❤️ | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to Does nothing for me. Indifferent. |
