🕊🎶#ArtIsAWeapon Peaceful transitions to the musical giant, #PhiladelphiaSoul architect #ThomBell, who passed away Dec. 22. SO many of the songs he wrote, produced, composed, arranged, etc. are a huge chunk of my life's soundtrack! Photo reposted from @soundofphiladelphia ; caption from @carole_king R.I.P.
