Greg Phillinganes / Significant Gains
Greg Phillinganes became well-known when Greg performed with Stevie Wonder as the keyboards player of "Wonder Love", Stevie Wonder's backing band in late 70's and early 80's. And Greg established his status as a sound creator gradually around then. You can find his name as the arranger on Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" album. Greg also released 2 leader albums in early 80's. One is "Significant Gains" (1981) and the other is "Pulse" (1984).
Later, you may recall that Phillinganes filled in for the semi-retired David Paich on tour with Toto in 2005, then contributed to their album “Falling in Between” and continued to tour as a member of Toto until the band became inactive in 2008.
