Biography
Born December 5, 1940, songwriter Frank Wilson would lend his considerable talents to many of the biggest artists in the history of Motown. In the mid 1960âs, Wilson began working as a songwriter in the California offices of Motown. After some early successes for Stevie Wonder and Ike & Tina Turner, Wilson recorded his debut single, âDo I Love You (Indeed I Do)â, which would not become a hit, but would become one of the most hard-to-find yet sought after singles in the companyâs history. He would continue to write for many of the labelâs biggest hitmakers, contributing âWhole Lot of SHakinâ In My Heart (Since I Met You)â to The Miracles, âChainedâ to Marvin Gaye, âYouâve Made Me So Very Happyâ to Brenda Holloway (and later turned into a number 2 pop hit for Blood, Sweat & Tears), and âLove Childâ and âUp the Ladder to the Roofâ to The Supremes. He left the music business in 1976 and became a pastor and successful author. He passed away on September 27, 2012 from prostate cancer.
