Reggie Lucas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reggie Lucas, is an American musician, songwriter and record producer. Lucas is most famous for his production work with percussionist Mtume and for co-producing Madonna's 1983 self-titled debut album.
Lucas early in his career was a jazz guitarist, playing with Miles Davis and Norman Connors in the early 1970s. Soon Lucas turned his focus to songwriting and producing, where he gained both fame and critical praise. He was originally apart of a production team with percussionist Mtume, whom he met in the early 70s while touring with Miles Davis. The two would later go on to write and produce hits for several artists, most prominently being Stephanie Mills and Phyllis Hyman. As the 70s grew to a close Lucas branched out and began to write and produce material by himself. One of his first solo projects was Madonna's 1983 self-titled debut album. Lucas has since gone on to work with Rebbie Jackson, Randy Crawford and The Four Tops on his own.
In 1980, Lucas and Mtume won a Grammy Award for Best R&B song for their composition "Never Knew Love Like This Before", which was performed by Stephanie Mills.
