Hutch produced albums by acts such as The 5th Dimension, Michael Jackson and Smokey Robinson.
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]

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm happy as can be
My face is all a glow
And I want the world to know
My dreams are high
As the clouds above
My day's full of laughter
My heart's full of love
Everything I do
Has always been inspired by you
Finding true love was so hard
I wanna thank you though
For helping me to discover
Such a very special lover
I know

I know
I'm lucky to be loved by you
Hey look at me
And here's what you see
A man who has been
Introduced to pure ecstasy
Life is a ball y'all
And that's no jive
I used to wish I was dead
Now I'm so glad to be alive
Because heartaches, headaches
Were all I used to wake up in the morning to
But now it's all been erased
Honey, it's all been replaced
For something sweet as mother's love
Oh, bless from up above

I'm lucky to be loved by you baby

Because heartaches, headaches
Were all I used to wake up in the morning to
But now it's all been erased
Honey, it's all been replaced
For something sweet as mother's love
Oh, bless from up above
I know
I'm lucky to be loved by you
I know
I'm lucky to be loved loved by you
