Stargazer: The Philadelphia International Records Anthology 1976-1980

Dexter Wansel has long been respected as a songwriter, producer, arranger and musician in equal measure, in large part due to his long and impressive list of credits with the legendary Philadelphia International Record Label (among others) having played a pivotal role in developing “The Philly Sound” through the 1970’s. He has worked with and written hit songs for the likes of The Jacksons, MFSB, Teddy Pendergrass, The Jones Girls and Jean Carn. This comprehensive compilation includes every track Wansel recorded for PIR as a solo artist between 1976 and 1979 that featured on his 4 jazz-funk oriented albums for the label. Life On Mars (R&B #44), What The World Is Coming To (R&B #45), Voyager (R&B #37) and Time Is Slipping Away (R&B #58) allowed Wansel to show his myriad talents to the fullest and explore his deep interest in the cosmos.
