Information/Write-up
Getting his professional start with the Paupers in the mid-60's, Bill grew restless, not feeling his song-writing contributions were taken seriously. He also wanted to move onto a more R&B/Soul oriented sound, Bill left the Paupers in January-February 1967, and pursued a short-lived solo R&B career. He released his debut single for Nimbus (soon to be Nimbus 9) in mid-1967, with little success he then moved on to various roles in the industry: label runner, producer, jingle-writer, back-up singer for the Laurie Bower Singers, ghost-writer for a number of Quebec based artists, and the list goes on!
