Not much is known about him. It was difficult to find any facts about his life outside of song credits and even they were hard to verify, as well as a an almost sinister lack of pictures or supporting sources, as if he was lost to time by just being a few years out of sync. He did not achieve major levels of fame and notoriety outside of the funk scene back in the 70s, but he has been sampled by a few rap and hip-hop artists, most notably in the Jurrasic 5 track “Freedom”, which was released on the album Power in Numbers in 2002 and as its own single in 2003. He was also sampled by Madlib on instrumental tracks “Another Bag of Bomb (No Seeds)”-Julius-Brockington-Got-to-Be-There/) and “Two for Pay Jay (No Dough, No Show)-Julius-Brockington-The-Magic-Horse-Forty-Nine-Reasons/)“, both released on Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6: A Tribute To… (Dil Cosby and Dil Withers Suite) in 2008.
