Dexter Wansel has long been respected as a songwriter, producer, arranger and musician in equal measure, in large part due to his long and impressive list of credits with the legendary Philadelphia International Record Label (among others) having played a pivotal role in developing “The Philly Sound” through the 1970s. He has worked with and written hit songs for the likes of The Jacksons, MFSB, Teddy Pendergrass, The Jones Girls and Jean Carn.
Wansel’s PIR output effortlessly blends together and shows off the incredible depth of his song-writing and musicianship. Expertly assisted by a plethora of Philly talent such as The Jones Girls, Herb Smith, Stanley Clarke, Cynthia Biggs, Jean Carn and Terri Wells among many others, Wansel’s legacy at PIR is firmly assured.
