Hard to say if Tom would have attained the heights of fellow Canadian arranger-producer David Foster. Coincidentally, 'Fos' was taking whatever session musician or arranger gigs he could find in LA around that time. By then, Tom had left Motown and was working separate projects with Charity Brown and Terry Jacks in his final year. He was also in a recording group called HUB with an ex-member of Rare Earth. He had co-produced many Rare Earth sessions for Motown subsidiary Rare Earth Records.
RIP Tom Baird.
