Besides writing hit songs such as The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There", Hutch also recorded several albums for Motown (and later for Whitfield Records, run by former Motown producer Norman Whitfield), and had Top 20 R&B hits with singles such as "Brother's Gonna Work It Out" and "Slick" (both 1973). Following in the tradition of Curtis Mayfield, he recorded the soundtrack album for the blaxploitation films The Mack (1973) and Foxy Brown (1974).
Moving back to Dallas in 1994, he continued to record and perform while living comfortably on royalties from old hits and new samples. His manager, Anthony Voyce, said of Hutch: "I've never met a more generous and caring person." He died in 2005.
He is survived by six children, and was the uncle to Cold 187um of the rap group Above The Law.[1]

Brother's Gonna Work It Out
Willie Hutch Lyrics
"You really don't understand do you?
Hey man don't you realize in order for us to make this thing work man we've got to get rid of the pimps and the pushers and the prostitutes and then start all over again clean."
"Yeah but nobody's pushing me anywhere ok. I mean not you, not the cops, nobody man. I mean you wanna get rid of the pushers I'll help you. But don't send your people left to me."
"Oh come on John, can't you see that we can't get rid of one without getting rid of the other. We gotta come down on both of them at the same time in order for this whole thing to work for the people."
"Yeah but nobody's closing me out of my business."
We brothers gonna work it out
We brothers gonna work it out
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Gonna get it now
Now don't give him no peace hun' if you don't mean it in your heart
United we can get over
Yet we're still apart
Cos' each day demands respect
And to give an equal share
And until you give it him back there'll be no peace
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it all out (brother's gonna work it out)
Oh we must all join hands
We can march across the strand in peace
(Brother's gonna work it out)
No joy where that brother's standing unduly too long
Instead of brother turning on sister
Sister turning on brother
Now how you gonna get it together being against one another?
Shoot ups, live ups, all high
Till your world is turned to stone
How you can you deal with the truth
When reality's all gone?
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it all out (brother's gonna work it out)
All brothers sing
Stop the pimps, the hustler and the pusher man as fast you can
Open your ears and eyes to the fact
Of what's truly holding you back
Brother need your help
Now can't you see?
Always got to have it
Oh right on
Ohhhh yeah
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
I hope that you will so
All the answers to your problems you can find
Yet you stay locked in alley streets
Get the kids to your mind
Brother to win your brother's trust
The peace vibration must
Stop you robbing, stealing, killing, cheating and loving
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Oh brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it all out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it (brother's gonna work it out)

Yet the key is in your mind

These five things you must:
Stop your robbing, stealing, killing, cheating and lying
Brothers gonna work it out (Brothers gonna work it out)
Brothers gonna work it all out (Brothers gonna work it out)
Brothers gonna work it out (Brothers gonna work it out)
Brothers gonna work it all out (Brothers gonna work it out)

"You really don’t understand, do you? Hey, man, don’t you realize that in order for us to make this thing work, man, we’ve got to get rid of the pimps and the pushers and the prostitutes and then start all over again clean."
"Hey, look nobody’s pushing me anywhere, ok? I mean, not you not the cops, nobody now. I mean, you wanna get rid of the pushers, I’ll help you. But, don’t send your people after me."
"Oh, come on, John. Can’t you see that we can’t get rid of one without getting rid of the other? We’ve gotta come down on both of ‘em at the same time in order for this whole thing to work for the people."
" Hey, look. Nobody’s closing me out of my business."

[Verse 1]
Now don't give him no peace sign
If you don't mean it from your heart
United we can get over
But, yet we're still apart
Cause each man demands respect
And to get an equal share
And until you're givin' him that
There'll be no peace...
[Chorus]
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it all out (brother's gonna work it out)
[Bridge]
Ooooh! We must all join hands
We can march across this land in peace!
(Brother's gonna work it out)
Love, joy, with that understanding of truly who we are
[Verse 2]
Instead of brother turning on sister
Sister turning on brother
Now how you gonna get it together
Being against one another?
Shoot ups, live up so high
Till your world has turned to stone
How you can you deal with the truth
When reality's all gone?
[Chorus]
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it all out (brother's gonna work it out)
[Bridge]
All brothers sing
Stop the pimps, the hustler and
The pusher man as fast you can
Open your ears and eyes to the facts
Of what's truly holding you back!
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoh
Brother needs your help
Now, can't you see?
Aw he's got to have it
Oh right on
Ohhhh yeah
[Chorus]
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
