Tom James Brocker[1] (August 25, 1942 – May 25, 2002), known as Tom Brock, was an American soul singer, born in Austin, Texas. Brock worked with Barry White on the 20th Century Records label in the 1970s.[2] He wrote songs for Gloria Scott's 1974 album What Am I Gonna Do?, including "A Case of Too Much Love Makin".[2] That same year he also released his one and only album, I Love You More And More, which included a highly popular title track.[3] The album was produced by White and Gene Page.[3] The song "There's Nothing in This World That Can Stop Me From Loving You" was later sampled by producer Just Blaze for the single "Girls, Girls, Girls" on Jay-Z's album The Blueprint in 2001.[4] This led to renewed interest in Brock, and in 2003 (a year after Brock died), the album was re-released on CD.[5] The song "I Love You More and More" was later sampled by producer Minnesota for the single "The Panties" on Mos Def/Yasiin Bey's album The New Danger in 2004.[6]
He died of natural causes on May 25, 2002, in his home in Richmond, California.
