Thom Bell, along with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, was part of the holy trinity of Philly soul. Reaching an apogee in the early to mid-seventies with records for the Stylistics (‘You Make Me Feel Brand New’), the Detroit Spinners (‘Could It Be I’m Falling In Love’), the O’Jays (‘Back Stabbers’) and New York City (‘I’m Doin’ Fine Now’), Bell was the classically trained arranger who introduced the celeste, the French horn and the harpsichord to soul music. 1.
