Brothers of Soul was a soul trio formed in Detroit during the 60s and 70s, composed of members who were also a songwriting team responsible for around 50 singles. They recorded numerous songs primarily with a producer for the Zodiac and Boo labels. Their notable hit, "I Guess That Don't Make Me a Loser," peaked at number 32 on the R&B charts in May 1968. The group originated when Bridges and Knight met at the Dodge Assembly Plant and began writing for a label, where they collaborated with Eaton. Their first credited song together was James Shorter's "Modern Day Woman." They later wrote a song titled "Dream" and, during freelance work for Drew Records, met Chicago-based producer Williams, who was interested in showcasing them as a group. They adopted the name Brothers of Soul, inspired by the Detroit riots of '67. Under Williams' direction, they wrote for Zodiac, producing several hits for Ruby Andrews. Their most successful period spanned from 1968 to 1969, with their last recordings occurring in 1971. During this time, Ben Knights replaced Richard Knight, who was incarcerated in New York. The trio continued to work together, providing vocal accompaniment for a few years before eventually disbanding. A compilation of their hits, titled "I Guess That Don't Make Me a Loser," was released on CD in 1995 by Collectables Records and digitally in 2008 by S.D.E.G. Records.
