Harvey Scales

Harvey Scales (September 27, 1940 – February 11, 2019)[1][2] was an American R&B and soul singer, songwriter, and producer. Scales had been active in the music industry since the 1960s, and composed songs for groups such as The Dells, The Dramatics, and The O'Jays. He is particularly notable for his co-authorship of the songs "Love-Itis" and "Disco Lady". Once called Milwaukee's "Godfather of Soul"[3] by a local reporter, Scales credited James Brown[4] and the sound of "funk" for influencing his music career.
