He was responsible for contributing, creating, and developing many notable artists’ careers through his musical direction and production sculpting “The Standard” for what performers today strive to become. Willie touched many artists of whom we know as today’s most soulful legends, The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, The Fifth Dimension, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, The Commodores, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, The Four Tops, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, and the list goes on! He was a versatile and key figure to music greats, Hal Davis and Berry Gordy and has collaborated with Clive Davis, Mo Austin, and Quincy Jones. In the motion picture industry his music lives on and his tracks make an appearance on two Paramount Pictures soundtracks, “Four Brothers” (2005) and the Oscar winning film, “Hustle and Flow” (2005). Perhaps Willie’s most enduring work was during the height of his career when he placed his mark in the film and motion picture industry with the production of two soundtracks he created during the “blaxploitation” era for the films, “Foxy Brown” (1973) and “The Mack” (1974). Today, “The Mack” has secured its status as one of the Hip-Hop generation’s favorite film. His funk soul single, “Brothers Gonna Work It Out” has been sampled by Rap, Hip-Hop, and Electronica artists including; The Notorious B.I.G., Chemical Brothers, Public Enemy, Ghostface Killah featuring Kanye West, and Moby..
