Bell & James

Profile:
Songwriting and disco soul funk duo of multi-instrumentalists Leroy M. Bell and Casey James from Philadelphia.
Bell's uncle was Philly soul mainstay Thom Bell, so they signed as songwriters at Mighty Three Music, a company he co-owned with Gamble & Huff.
They started writing songs for the roster of Philadelphia International Records (The O'Jays, MFSB, Teddy Pendergrass etc.)
In early 1978 they were signed to A&M where they released three albums, spawning hits like "Livin' It Up (Friday Night)", "You Never Know What You've Got", "Shakedown", "Only Make Believe".
After parting ways, both did much session work.
