Anthony J. Camillo, born on August 11, 1928 in Somerville, New Jersey, was an American record producer, orchestrator, and arranger who worked extensively with soul, pop, and disco recordings throughout the 1960s and 1970s. His career began with collaborations on notable projects including works by Dionne Warwick, Eric Carmen, The Stylistics, and Stevie Wonder. In the early 1970s, Camillo worked in Detroit with Motown and the Holland-Dozier-Holland production team before establishing his own recording studio, Venture Sound, in Hillsborough, New Jersey, in 1971. One of his significant achievements was co-producing and arranging Gladys Knight & the Pips' number one hit "Midnight Train to Georgia" at Venture Sound, which won a Grammy Award in 1973. He also produced Ronnie Williams' single "Dreamin'", released on the Roxbury label in 1974. In 1975, Camillo assembled the studio group Bazuka, which scored a Top Ten hit with "Dynomite", peaking at Number 28 in the UK Singles Chart. He co-founded Venture Records in 1978, and the label's biggest success came in 1982 with Canadian duo Chéri's song "Murphy's Law", which reached Number 5 on the R&B chart. Later in his career, Camillo turned to writing and scoring for films, including Welcome to Arrow Beach (1974) and The Survivalist (1987). He founded Venture Music Group in 1994 and operated his own studio in New Jersey until his death on August 29, 2018.
