Arguable one of the greatest sound creators and innovators in 70`s Soul and Disco . With his stock of excellent session muscians like Melvin Ragin, better known as Wah Wah Watson, or Aaron Smith and Earl van Dyke, he was capable to make his mark on any of his projects. Whether it was UNDISPUTED TRUTH, THE TEMPTATIONS ,DAVID RUFFIN or ROSE ROYCE.
Whitfields "recycling technique" - recording hits like Superstar or Papa Was A Rollin`Stone and many others - again and again in new versions with different bands, reveals him as one of the first producers using the mix as an instrument of interpretation as we know it today. His way to arrange and produce was unique. His introduction of using the beat box instead of drums not only on tracks like 1990 or Big John Is My Name is so much forward, that one has to look on the record sleeves again to believe when they were recorded. No doubt: "Produced By Norman Whitfield" was one of the best certificates of quality a record could get during this time.
