Reggie Lucas was a jazz guitarist at one time, but he enjoyed far more popularity and exposure as half of a songwriting and production team. Lucas played with Miles Davis and Norman Connors in the early '70s and met percussionist Mtume while touring with Davis. The two later teamed to write and produce hits for several artists, most prominently Stephanie Mills and Phyllis Hyman. Lucas also wrote and produced material for Madonna, Rebbie Jackson, Randy Crawford, and the Four Tops on his own. ~ Ron Wynn
