"The Sweetest Pain" is such a great song, both the original & the Loose Ends cover Life has a way of making you live it. . . . | |

These are two from his first solo record that caught my attention...

Dexter's work is so underrated. I often wondered why he was never penned a super producer. His body of work stays in heavy rotation in my iPod. | |

i was waiting on this..... Nick Ashford was someone I greatly admired, had the honor of knowing, and was the real-life inspiration for Cowboy Curtis' hair. RIP Nick. - Pee Wee Herman | |

Definitely!! That's the first Dexter stuff I ever heard, as a kid...The Life On Mars album was a staple on local Jazz and R&B stations, in DC, particularly WHUR...

Funny you say that because his son is headed in the trajectory of being a super producer. he goes by Pop Wansel and I think he and his partner Oak will be big once they get a huge crossover mainstream hit since they're already dominating the R&B world. | |
