'''Creative Source''' was an American [R&B](/source/R%26B) group from [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles), who had several [funk](/source/funk) and [disco](/source/disco) hits during the 1970s.
==History==
Creative Source was formed in 1972 by several [veterans](/source/session_musician) of the West Coast recording studios. They were managed by [Ron Townson](/source/Ron_Townson), who was a member of [The Fifth Dimension](/source/The_Fifth_Dimension).[{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/creative-source-mn0000112537|title=Artist Biography|website=[AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)|first=Andrew|last=Hamilton}}] Their first chart success was 1973's "[You Can't Hide Love](/source/Can't_Hide_Love)", but their biggest hit came the following year, a [cover](/source/cover_version) of the [Bill Withers](/source/Bill_Withers) tune "[Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?](/source/Who_Is_He_(And_What_Is_He_to_You)%3F)". Four albums were issued by the band in three years, but their later singles were less successful, and by 1977, after having lost their recording contract, the group disbanded.[{{cite web|title=Creative Source Page|url=http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Creative%20Source.html|website=Soulwalking.co.uk|access-date=19 November 2021}}]
