In 1975, DEXTER WANSEL met Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff when he was a member of a band called Yellow Sunshine, which also featured guitarist Roland Chambers who would later become a part of MFSB, the house band for Gamble & Huff’s Philadelphia International Records.
One of Wansel’s charting LP
''Voyager'' (with its great space-age oriented graphics, and featuring the excellent social commentary song ''Solutions'') also listen for ''All night long'' from spring 1978.

Phenomenal album by a phenomenal artist. Dexter Wansel is probably one of the most unrated and unrecognized composers, arrangers and writers of the soul/funk era! A key part of the background for Philadelphia Intl, he helped produce a sound characteristic of PI much like the Funk Bros. did for Motown. Dexter and the PI sound was maybe more rich with orchestration compared to Motown. Anyway on this album if you like funk/fusion check out Voyager and Latin Love - great cuts! For a slow, love making groove check out Time Is The Teacher and for the socially conscious check out Solutions.
