Two of my Amherst friends, one black and one white, wrote to me about the passing of Thom Bell
I am glad that they did because Thom Bell wrote the songs which comprise a large segment of the soundtrack of my life. Below is a list of the songs that he wrote or produced. Please read the list and weep a little for our loss. However, in weeping you can also smile remembering those songs and the times that they played in one's life. Here are some of my favorites
Thank you, Thom Bell. Thank you very, very much.
Peace,
