Brothers of Soul was a soul trio formed in Detroit during the 60s and 70s, consisting of members who also worked as a songwriting team responsible for around 50 singles. They recorded primarily with producer Williams for the Zodiac and Boo labels. Their most notable hit, "I Guess That Don't Make Me a Loser," reached number 32 on the R&B charts in May 1968. The members, Bridges and Knight, met at the Dodge Assembly Plant and began their songwriting journey at , collaborating with Eaton. Their first credited song together was James Shorter's "Modern Day Woman," followed by "Dream." While working for Drew Records, they encountered producer Williams, who helped them form the group Brothers of Soul, a name inspired by the Detroit riots of '67. Under Williams' guidance, they wrote for Zodiac, contributing to several hits for Ruby Andrews. Their peak success occurred from 1968 to 1969, with their last recordings in 1971. During this time, Ben Knights replaced Richard Knight, who was incarcerated in New York. The group continued to provide 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.
