First discovered by Stevie Wonder, Phillinganes served in Stevie’s Wonderlove for five years in the late seventies. He released his debut solo album, Significant Gains, in 1981, landing a hit with “Baby, I Do Love You.” Phillinganes later worked on Michael Jackson’s seminal album, Thriller, and took a song rejected for the album as the lead single for his sophomore album Pulse, hitting the charts with “Behind the Mask.” It was a terrific song that never quite received the shine it deserved.
