Ed was originally from Tennessee and he became a lawyer, a songwriter, a producer, and perhaps reluctantly, a singer. In 1958 Ed took a song he had written, "For Your Love", to Capitol Records hoping to interest Nat King Cole in recording it. After he had completed a demo of the song, Capitol decided they would just as soon have Ed record it, and this became his only hit peaking at #13 in April of 1958. He battled drug addiction in later years, but was able to combine talents with Marvin Gaye in the writing and producing of "Let's Get It On" in 1973.. + Informações

During his carrer, Ed Townsend wrote and produced for other artists as well as releasing a series of fine but unfortunately, non-hit singles of his own on about ten different record labels.

Think I Can by Ed B. Townsend & EBT NEWLIFE The great Hollywood Singer/Songwriter, Ed B.Townsend spent many years in the gutter due to his addiction to drugs and alcohol. One day he'd had enough and checked into Los Angeles' SALVATION ARMY HARBOR LIGHTS. Vowing to teach others about the power of the 12 Step Program, he wrote the full length musical, "REHABILITATION: BEEN THERE! DONE THAT!" with the help of his famous son David Townsend of SURFACE fame. Assembling artists and talent of those who have overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles, he produced this show and intended to carry it to Broadway! A true unsung hero in the music world, he produced many many hits and helped many many artists up but couldn't pull himself up from addiction easily and wanted others to know his secret! "FOR YOUR LOVE" was a hit when he sang it on Dick Clark's AMERICAn BANDSTAND in its first month of existence. His best friends included, Quincy Jones, Johnny Nash, Fats Domino and Theola Kilgore. He and Marvin Gaye cowrote LET"S GET IT ON and he was a stickler for teaching up and coming artists how to manage their publishing rights! The show ran three years and I went from being a band and chorus member to taking a lead roll and playing myself overcoming domestic violence. Given an official gun salute at Riverside Cemetery, Ed earned a purple heart and studied law among other things! He believed in the children and relished the birthday parties for any of the EBT NEWLIFE kids of which my .... + Informações
