Gary Taylor - Square One (1993)

Gary Taylor prefers to conduct his musical affairs quietly, but he manages to make his presence felt in very important ways. Taylor scribes copious hits for other recroding artists such as The Whispers and Anita Baker while maintaining a successful but decidedly low-key career of his own. -- Elizabeth Goodwin, JAZZIZ Magazine

Los Angeles-based Taylor -- whose recording career has included stints with A&M and Virgin -- created his label, Morning Crew Records in the fall of 1993. He credits BET -- where he performed on both Video Soul and Video LP as a major factor in generating interest in the set. -- David Nathan, Billboard Magazine
