"Truly in love" composer/writer wrote other songs??

[Mangobaby]

Hello! 

A Pioneer friend told me  a while back that the brother who sang "truly in love" (I'm not sure if he composed parts of that song), also wrote songs from the past, not for the brothers though.

So I was wanted to see if anyone knows something about it as well! :)

In case that brother doesn't want to be "outed", I'll send you the info through a personal message. It's a screenshot of a previous conversation where he was mentioned...

I didn't mean to say that it wasn't to be shared or that it would be wrong to. 

But I figured that he might not want to be. We saw what happened with the two sisters from the Convention videos. It got a bit out of hand in my opinion, and they aren't even actually "famous famous".

I got you sister, I just know that the friends that I know already know who he is, that's all! 😀 No probs.

Are we talking about the brother with whom Br Nelson (Prince) studied?

Thats definitely *not* Larry Graham singing that song.

[Sallyforth]

I'm pretty sure I recognize his voice. I'm ruling out Larry Graham, too.

I was wrongly thinking it was George Benson who studied with Prince...

Really?  His voice has changed a lot from recordings he has produced, then- I've been following his music for over 35 years. Interesting..🤔

Well of course he’s 70 odd years old now, i think I read  77 or 78 yrs.  Most definitely he will not sound as he did 35 years ago! 
I myself am 70 years old and I’ve been listening to him for a very long time. I was delighted to find out he was a brother.

No, he has recent recordings out- even those bootleg Kingdom songs from 2004. 😉 The voice on our Original Song didn't sound the same to me. I thought it was Phillip Ingram.

 

But yes, George Benson has been a brother at least since the early 80s. I remember there was an article about him and his being a Witness in Ebony magazine back then. There were photos of him at the Kingdom Hall in Hawaii with his sons. 😊

Philip Ingram passed away a few years ago. I don’t believe he was a JW!

You are thinking of his brother, James Ingram. Phillip is alive and well (he used to sing with Switch) and is an elder. And a very fine singer 😊  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_Ingram

I was surprised to see on that quote a reference to the movie Shreck as having music from a brother! I love Screck's soundtrack

 

[jayrtom]

I just heard the song "Songbird" from Philip Ingram, recorded in 2017 and I'm completely convinced that is the same brother that sings the original song in question (lovely song btw)
