During the Sixties, Dexter served in the Vietnam War, an experience that he says has left him with a fear of bullets, unsurprisingly. Many years later, Wansel would co-write a number one R & B hit for Labelle. In 1975, 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. The Yellow Sunshine sessions led to session work, at Philadelphia, with the group The Ebony's. Becoming a part of the staff creative collective, Wansel began arranging, playing keyboards, and writing songs for the label's acts including The O'Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, and The Intruders, amongst others. When Patti Labelle signed with PIR, she recorded Wansel's 'Shoot Him on Sight,' a song Wansel intended for Jackson Browne, on her 1981 album 'The Spirit's in It'. A song Wansel co-wrote with Kenneth Gamble and Cynthia Biggs, the ballad 'If Only You Knew,' held the number one R & B spot for four weeks in early 1984. It was on Patti's 'I'm in Love Again' LP, which went gold, hitting number four R & B. Some of Dexter's compositions and arrangements include: Jean Carn's 'I'm in Love Once Again,' 'You Are All I Need' (music by Instant Funk), 'Where Did You Ever Go,' 'Free Love,' and the dancer 'Give It Up', Shirley Jones' 'Last Night I Needed Somebody' and 'She Knew About Me', The Jacksons' 'Keep on Dancin',' 'Living Together,' 'Do What You Wanna Do,' and 'Jump for Joy', The Stylistics' 'Hurry Up This Way Again,', (keyboardist Patrice Rushen covered 'Hurry Up This Way Again'), Dee Dee Sharp Gamble 'I Love You Anyway' and I Believe In Love', Amy Keys 'Has It Come To This', The O'Jays' 'I Really Need You Now', Miles Jaye 'I've Been A Fool For You', Marilyn Scott 'Dreams Of Tomorrow' and 'You Are All I Need', Jermaine Jackson 'Let's Get Serious', Pieces Of A Dream 'co-writing 'Warm Weather', MFSB 'Mysteries Of The World', Brandi Wells 'I Hate To See You Go', Joanna Gardner 'We Can Make It', Teddy Pendergrass 'Take Me In Your Arms Tonight', Phyllis Hyman's 'Living All Alone', Jeff Major's 'Sonny's Prayer', The Jones Girls' 'We're A Melody', 'Nights Over Egypt,' 'Love Don't Ever Say Goodbye,' and 'Why You Wanna Do That To Me', Archie Bell and the Drells' 'Old People', and Evelyn 'Champagne' King's 'Till I Come Off the Road' and the ballad 'The Show Is Over.' Apart from his Stateside commitments, Dexter has found the time to work wth some of the soul artists in the U.K. including Junior, Nat Augustin, Peter Royer and Loose Ends. Wansel's own charting LPs were 'Life on Mars' from summer 1976 (includes two tracks with Instant Funk, 'Life on Mars' and 'You Can Be What You Wanna Be'), 'What the World Is Coming To' (featuring 'Holdin' On'), 'Voyager' (with its great space-age oriented graphics, and featuring the excellent social commentary song 'Solutions') from spring 1978, and 'Time Is Slipping Away' (featuring the vocals of Terri Wells on 'The Sweetest Pain') from 1979. Several tracks from his LPs were played on the radio, including (the beautifully orchestrated 'Theme From the Planets,' the funky 'Disco Lights') and some of his songs 'Together Once Again,' 'One Million Miles From the Ground,' and 'Holdin' On' are still in Dexters' repertoire today. 'Holdin' On' was a radio played LP track from actor Lawrence Hilton Jacobs' self-titled album produced by Lamont Dozier. 'Global Warming', from the 1991 PIR / Zoo / BMG CD 'Universe', featured Dexter Wansel received some airplay on smooth jazz radio stations, however, the soul purists went for the Jean Carne song 'Love Is Beautiful'. During the '90's, Wansel continued to work with the re-activated Philadelphia International Records and occasionally toured. In 2000, he joined forces with MFSB, once again, for songwriting and arranging chores, for the gospel artist Jeff Majors. "Dance With Me Tonight" is from the album "What The World Is Coming To" and is available on CD at Amazon! Also see Dexter's own website : http://host267.ipowerweb.com/~smashtvm/dexter.html (Less)

Born Sarah Jean Perkins in Columbus, GA, she was raised in Atlanta. She began singing gospel music in the church choir at age four; she also took piano lessons and learned the clarinet and bassoon. Carne won a music scholarship to Morris Brown College and began her recording career in 1969 with her husband, keyboardist Doug Carn, on the Black Jazz label, where she was one of the last vocalists to work with jazz legend Duke Ellington before his death. Carne popped up several times during the early-to-mid-'70s, singing with Earth, Wind & Fire on two albums, recording several times with Norman Connors, and reaching the charts via George Duke's hit single "Reach for It." In 1977, Carne was signed to Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff's Philadelphia International Records; her debut album, Jean Carn, was a classy affair that merged the best of '70s soul and jazz with solid songwriting and tight instrumental support (MFSB, Instant Funk). The debut single "Free Love" went to number 23 R&B. Though the follow-up single didn't chart, several of the album's tracks received considerable radio airplay, and some tracks made the disco charts. In June 1978, her second album for the label was released; Happy to Be With You included the hit single "Don't Let It Go to Your Head." Carn's final Philadelphia International album, 1980's When I Find You Love, was more of a return conceptually (musically and sonically) to Jean Carn. Produced by Dexter Wansel, the album rates as one of Carne's best efforts. The smooth and halting "My Love Don't Come Easy" peaked at number 35 R&B. Released in August 1981, Carne's Sweet and Wonderful featured a remake of the Spinners' "Love Don't Love Nobody," which went to number 35 R&B. Carne moved to Motown Records in 1982, making her label debut with the album Trust Me. The single "If You Don't Know Me By Now," a cover of the Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes hit with backing vocals by the Temptations, went to number 49 R&B. By 1986, Carne signed to Omni Records; Closer than Close was released in July of that year and the title track that went to number one R&B. Her 1988 album You're a Part of Me included a hit cover of Aretha Franklin's "Ain't No Way." Carne later signed with Place One Entertainment, which reunited her with former Omni Records president Steve Bernstein, with her Love Lessons album being distributed by PPI/Peter Pan. Carne continues to tour with Connors, among others, and makes her home in Atlanta. ~ Ed Hogan, All Music Guide (Less)
