Can't make out from the label, but anyone know the writers/producers behind this? |

Hi mike s, I was going to post the same info as you have already. Don't mean to jump the gun. Just guessing or assuming, could it be musician/producer/arranger the late Rudy Robinson (Dramatics, etc) or Fred Bridges (of the Brothers of Soul)? |

This sounds like the song “To Care” that appeared on one of the George Clinton Family Series discs awhile back. I think it was written and produced by Ron Dunbar, and arranged by David Van De Pitte. I'll have to go look for the CD when I get the chance. |

Hi DurfaceThrills, I was trying to think of Ron Dunbar and arranger David Van De Pitte. Love to hear a cd on the Tops with Bridges, Dunbar, Robinson, De Van Pitte material. |
