Soul Music Legends Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff Mourn the Loss for one their most prolific and talented recording artist and musicians Dexter Wansel.

Dexter bought a new age sound to our Record Label Philadelphia International Records in the 1970’s and 80’s arranging and producing hits for many our artists such as The Jacksons, The Jones Girls, Jean Carne, MFSB including hits for himself. Dexters synthesizer and symphonic keyboard sounds were iconic.

Dexter’s hit song “Nights Over Egypt” on the Jones Girls and his own hit song “Life on Mars” were unmatched unique sounds for the label. In addition Dexter’s prolific songwriting with his long time writing partner Cynthia Biggs who worked with Teddy Pendergrass and others made them one of the most sought after writing team in our publishing company.

More importantly, Dexter was out dear friend, protege and great contributor to the Sound of Philadelphia.

We send our sincere condolences to his wife Judy and Family.
