THE SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL AWARD
Brian Wilson

It's not hard to understand why David Byrne was initially hesitant to reunite onstage with former Talking Heads bandmates Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison when the band was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. After all, in the decade-and-a -half since that seminal avant-art-punk-r&b combo quit performing, Byrne has expanded his artistic horizons far beyond the ones he explored in his original stint as the adventurous foursome's tightly wound frontman.

Byrne - who says that his early art-college background taught him "that anything could be art and art could be anything" - has long been adept at using his notoriety as a musician to expand his artistic horizons, regularly venturing into unexpected areas even further outside the mainstream than Talking Heads' boundary-breaking output. For instance, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, his 1981 collaboration with Brian Eno, helped introduce electronic music, third-world percussion and found voices to rock audiences. He's won acclaim for his scores for film (including Jonathan Demme's Married to the Mob and Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor) and theatre (Twyla Tharp's The Catherine Wheel, Robert Wilson's Civil Wars), and emerged as an accomplished filmmaker with the 1986 feature True Stories. And for the past dozen years, he's put his eclectic musical tastes to good use as head of the esteemed Luaka Bop label, whose eclectic catalogue encompasses an array of sounds from around the world, and has helped to win new fans for such diverse acts as Cornershop, Tom Ze, Susana Baca and Os Mutantes.

Luaka Bop is also the home of Byrne's most recent album, Look Into the Eyeball, a typically eclectic - and typically accessible - fusion of influences that strikes a balance between personal introspection, wry humor and multicultural experimentation. The album's pleasures range from the Latin funk of "Desconocido Soy" to the gospel uplift of "Walk on Water" to the rhythmic, orchestrated pop of "Smile" and "Everyone's in Love With You" to the classic Philly-soul style of a pair of tracks that boast arrangements by legendary r&b producer Thom Bell.

Describing the album's aesthetic inspirations, Byrne says, "I had been wondering if there might be a way to include the warm, lyrical, beautiful, emotional sounds and associations of strings and orchestral parts with groove music and beats for the body. I want to move people to dance and cry at the same time.

"Like the song 'The Revolution' implies, I somehow imagine that a real revolution is won by seduction, by winning over not just the mind, but the body and the senses as well. And that the sadness of some of these melodies are countered by the vigor and persistence of the groove."

Considered a principal architect of the influential "Philly Soul" sound, Bell is arguably best known for his 1970s achievements. But the fact is, the legendary composer-arranger hasn't slowed down or limited his creative scope. Bell arranged several songs on David Byrne's acclaimed 2001 album Look Into The Eyeball. Most recently, many of Bell's songs were featured in the musical stage production Me and Mrs. Jones, starring Lou Rawls and performed at Philadelphia's Prince Music Theater.

Even Madison Avenue has acknowledged the mesmerizing power of Thom Bell's music. Bell's composition "I'll Be Around" has been selected as the theme for the multi-million dollar Chevy Impala advertising campaign. The new Chevy slogan "We'll Be There" was culled from Bell's song, which was popularized by the Spinners in 1972.

It would do a disservice to describe Bell's career as "successful." Consider this: Bell's songwriting and arranging achievements are so voluminous, space prohibits us from listing them all. He co-wrote the Stylistics most memorable hits, including "Stop, Look and Listen," "You Are Everything," "Betcha By Golly Wow," "Break Up To Make Up" and "You Make Me Feel Brand New." Bell was similarly instrumental in the success of the Spinners, co-composing such hits as "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love," "One of a Kind Love Affair," "Mighty Love" and "Rubberband Man," as well as the Spinners/Dionne Warwick duet "Then Came You." His song "Mama Can't Buy You Love" was one of Elton John's most successful tunes, and Bell arranged O'Jays classics like "Back Stabbers," "Love Train" and "For the Love of Money."

The two-time Grammy winner has received numerous BMI accolades, including 11 Pop Awards, four R&B Awards and a total of 16 "Million-Air" certificates for an astounding 10 songs with one million or more broadcast performances. Bell has also been twice honored by Billboard with their Number One Producer award.

Born in Philadelphia in 1941, Bell studied classical piano as a youth. In 1959, he joined Kenny Gamble's harmony group the Romeos and by age 19 he was conducting and arranging for rock & roll dance pioneer Chubby Checker. When manager Stan Watson formed the Philly Groove label in 1968, Bell came aboard and oversaw Delfonics classics like "La La Means I Love You" (1968) and "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time" (1970).

Bell's work with the Delfonics resonated with r&b fans hungry for romantic "slow drag" ballads. When Bell reunited with Gamble and new partner Leon Huff at their newly formed Philadelphia International Records, the classic Philly Soul crystallized in earnest. Seminal hits like Jerry Butler's "Only the Strong Survive" (1969), Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones" (1972), and the Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes classic "If You Don't Know Me By Now" featured Bell's inimitable arrangements.

Noteworthy for their potent fusion of soaring strings, burnished horns and well-tempered rhythms, Bell's arrangements factored largely in the development of funk and disco. With contemporary artists like Alicia Keys, D'Angelo and Angie Stone reviving the sounds of the '70s, Thom Bell's influence looms larger than ever.
