His Motown years included co-writing the Jackson 5's chart-topping 'I'll Be There' (heard here in Gabrielle's version), plus work for Marvin Gaye and the Four Tops. Launched the 5th Dimension's career by writing their first two singles. Also wrote hits for Jerry Butler, Frankie Valli, Al Wilson, Ben E King and Gwen McCrae.
