A veteran composer, vocalist, guitarist, and pianist,
Prince Phillip Mitchell's roots are in vintage R&B, although he's better known for soul tunes.
Mitchell sang with both
The Premiers and The Checkmates in the late '50s and early '60s. He was also a dancer with The Bean Brothers in Los Angeles.
Mitchell had hits recorded by
Mel & Tim,
Millie Jackson,
Norman Connors,
Joe Simon, and
Candi Staton, but hasn't had as much luck on his own as a vocalist. His only moderate hit was "One On One" for Atlantic in 1978, and it only cracked the R&B Top 40.
Mitchell has also recorded for Event and Ichiban. ~ Ron Wynn
