Paul Laurence & Friends

Description

During the 1980’s, Paul Laurence was ranked among the top R&B songwriter/producers in the music industry with seven #1 Billboard R&B hits to his credit, including Freddie Jackson’s “Rock Me Tonight (For Old Time Sake)”, Stephanie Mills’s “You’re Putting a Rush On Me”, and the Prince composition, “Do Me Baby”, covered by Meli’sa Morgan.

As a mentee of the songwriter/producer powerhouse duo Nick Ashford & Valerie Simpson, Paul had obtained a wealth of industry experience before breaking big with his first project of significance, the 1981 release of Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King’s “I’m in Love”. Soon after, the hits kept coming. His collaborative efforts includes hit releases by King, Kashif, Kenny G, Lillo Thomas, Melba Moore and many others.
