Thom Bell makes absolute sense, nice to see a mover and shaker get his due. He of course, passed in 2022. Like many hall of famers, he wasnt good enough in the year 2000 but is good enough 25 years later, really? Delfonics, Stylistics, Spinners, O'Jays, Jerry Butler, Archie Bell & The Drells, Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield, to name a few key artists Thom Bell Produced.
