Wendell M. Bennett was born in Detroit Michigan in 1953, which is better known as the home of Motown Records. He started writing lyrics as early as age six. When Wendell was a child, he knew his purpose in life and that was to make music. During the early years of his life, from eleven through nineteen, Wendell spent his summer vacations in the presence of his brother-in-law, Gene Lyons, who played bass guitar in a band with Dennis Edwards, playing organ, and sang lead vocals in the band Called, Dennis Edwards and The Firebirds. It wasn’t until 1968, when Dennis Edwards left the band and joined the Temptations, replacing the legendary David Ruffin, and becoming the new lead singer of the Temptations. Wendell was truly inspired to see Dennis go all the way to the top so quickly. Right then, he seriously wanted to pursue a career in the music industry. “I knew it right then if Dennis could make it, so could I.” He wanted so desperately to become a singer. “I had to be a writer, musician and a singer.” And still to this day, Wendell Proclaims Dennis Edwards and and Gene Lyons as his early inspirations into music. MOOD SWINGS, was his first release in 2004. The title is an indication of the many styles of music that he grew up with and cherished. His diversity is an expression of his wide musical taste. The album glamorizes over seven different styles of music, including, Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, Contemporary Folk, Gospel, Old School R&B, Latin, and Reggae. “MOOD SWINGS” has taken me to many places in my life that I never thought I would ever go.” It captured the essence of life in many ways that allowed me to relate and connect to with many people through my music. “I found my purpose through making music.” MOOD SWINGS are congruent with the many emotions all human beings share and express… and that is the one thing in life that will never change.
