On today's episode I talk to songwriter, arranger and record
producer Patrick Adams.
Originally from Harlem, Patrick has applied his magic touch to more
than four decades of music, earning thousands of credits for
contributions to disco, boogie, soul and hip-hop releases both
genre-defining and criminally underrated. In addition to mentoring
Leroy Burgess and his seminal soul group Black Ivory, Patrick was a
key contributor to innumerable disco LPs and hits like Musique’s
“In The Bush,” and Inner Life’s “I’m Caught Up (In A One Night Love
Affair).” Nicknamed the “Prince of Soft Soul”, Patrick has
earned 32 gold and platinum records and worked with or
wrote for countless R&B, disco and hip hop groups including
Eric B. & Rakim, R. Kelly, Sister Sledge, Keith Sweat, Salt-N-Pepa,
Teddy Riley, Herbie Mann, Gladys Knight, Rick James, and many, many
more.
