Producer, arranger, songwriter Patrick Adams won the ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Award three times and has earned 32 gold and platinum records. In the 1980s he started out as an engineer at Power Play Studios and did work for artists like Eric B. & Rakim, Heavy D. & The Boyz, Keith Sweat, R. Kelly, Salt-N-Pepa and Teddy Riley. A highly influential singer, songwriter and producer in the New York/New Jersey area, George Kerr started his career singing lead for Little Anthony & The Imperials prior to signing a songwriting deal with Motown / Jobete and learning production in Detroit. After his deal with Motown, Kerr returned to New Jersey where he wrote for, and/or produced such great soul artists as Linda Jones, The Whatnauts, Manhattans, The Escorts, Phyllis Hyman, and especially for the roster of Sylvia Robinson's All Platinum Records.
