History

Willie Hutch was a singer, songwriter and producer whose smooth, gospel-tinged voice and sharp arrangements made him one of the defining sounds of blaxploitation soul. At Motown he also worked behind the scenes as a writer and producer, and he is best known as a co-writer of the Jackson 5 hit I'll Be There. In 1973 he wrote and recorded the soundtrack to The Mack, a set of songs that told the film's story of a pimp's rise and fall with lush strings, wah-wah guitar and heavy grooves. Tracks such as Brother's Gonna Work It Out and I Choose You gave the album a life far beyond the film, and I Choose You later became the backbone of UGK's Int'l Players Anthem, introducing Hutch to a new generation through hip-hop. In 1974 he followed with the soundtrack to Foxy Brown, working in the same cinematic funk and soul style. He continued to record for Motown and other labels afterwards and died in 2005. Hutch is recognised by his warm tenor, story-driven lyrics, sweeping orchestral soul and grooves built for sampling.
