Thom Bell, along with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, was part of the holy trinity of Philly soul. Reaching an apogee in the early to mid-70s with records for the Delfonics ('Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time'), Stylistics ('Betcha By Golly, Wow'), the Detroit Spinners ('The Rubberband Man'), and Dionne Warwick ('Then Came You'), Bell was the classically trained arranger who introduced the celeste, the French horn and the harpsichord to soul music.
