Bobby,saw a site today on an individual named Leon Mitchell.It said he passed on his arranging skills to the likes of Thom Bell,Norman Harris and yourself as well as other Philadelphia musical figures.Is this true?

Leon was an arranger who for a time conducted the Uptown Theater band.
As far as "passing on his arranging skils" goes it is UNTRUE!!
We all were self taught in that area.
Leon was an accomplished musician and a nice guy but we learned our craft individually and on our own and each one of us had a very distinctive style.
