session work for a whose who back in the day on R&B and Pop

plus the Brother made investments that garnered a whole of loot. he invested wisely.

now what hurt him was that he was seen like Allen E Jones meets Puffy. part of it was being a session musician and you play the hits and repeat chord progressions, etc.. and formula and he did that so much into his own records that it worked against him.

however having said all of that he did everything else that every other successful Male R&B artist who happen to cross did, its just that the folks moved on from him, but can't nobody question the Brothers Skills.
