Pied Piper Productions

Detroit based production company, who leased recordings to outside labels for release. When credited on labels as 'A Pied Piper Production' please consider using Pied Piper Productions which is the group. Pied Piper Productions was a group of Detroit arrangers, writers, artists and musicians who unwittingly defined the Northern Soul style in their short 1965-1967 span. The main musicians – Jack Ashford, Mike Terry, Joe Hunter and Herbie Williams – were original members of Motown studio crew the Funk Brothers. Pied Piper’s own imprint was Giant Records (16), the earlier Detroit version as opposed to the later Chicago label (for the Chicago label see Giant Records (3)). The production company leased recordings to labels like Kapp Records and RCA Victor, frequently with GWP Productions.
