| | Philadelphia soul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Philadelphia (or Philly) soul, sometimes called the Philadelphia Sound, is a style of soul music characterized by lush instrumental arrangements often featuring sweeping strings and horns. | | | Philly soul songwriters and producers, including Thom Bell, Linda Creed, and teams of Gene McFadden and John Whitehead, and Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff (the latter pair of Philadelphia International Records) worked with a stable of studio musicians to develop the unique Philly sound used as backing for many different singing acts. | | | Many of these musicians would record as the instrumental group MFSB which had a hit with the seminal Philly soul song "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" in 1974. |

| | Soul music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Soul music is a combination of rhythm and blues and gospel which began in the late 1950s in the United States. | | | Motown Records artists such as Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson contributed to the evolution of soul music, although their recordings were conceived in a more overtly pop music vein that those of Redding, Franklin or Carr. | | | A blending of psychedelic rock and soul music in the late-1960s that paved the way for the mainstream emergence of funk music a few years later. |

| | The classic Philadelphia records were built on piano, rather than guitar, giving them a sense of sophistication. | | | The Philadelphia sound, said Oates, is not like that of Chicago, where blacks migrated from the rural South and brought guitar and the blues. | | | The band continued treading new ground on "Iladelph Halflife," "Things Fall Apart" and "Phrenology," albums that greatly broadened the terrain, both musical and lyrical, of hip-hop. |

| | The Northern Soul of Philadelphia |
| | For a 'soul' release it is unusual in the number of optimistic tracks it contains and leaves the listener in a happy frame of mind. | | | Possibly the worst track is 'I'll Always Love You' by Cindy Gibson, but this could be a result of poor recording which left it sounding flat. | | | When I first read the sleeve notes I thought it was going to be a re-working of Kent's 'Ben Lees Philadelphia Story' because both compilations cover the same stable, but to my delight there was only an overlap of eight tracks (Nos 6, 11, 17, 18, 10, 16, 22 and 4). |

| | Soul Music Book Reviews |
| | Jackson follows the lives of Philadelphia's "Mighty Three," Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Thom Bell, from their childhoods to their emergence as the architects of the often lush, orchestral and danceable music that eclipsed Motown by 1973 and set the stage for the rise of disco music. | | | For many Soul Music fans, the rise of "The Sound of Philadelphia" in the early 70s was the high point in modern Soul, from which there has been a slow, steady deterioration. | | | Jackson especially focuses on Gamble, a mercurial genius and the business force behind the meteoric rise (and the fall) of Philadelphia International Records, the centerpiece label of Philadelphia soul. |

| | PHILADELPHIA - To remain a hot-selling rock and roll band, the trick is to blend with trends without selling your soul. | | | Like Mick Jagger, Bon Jovi is smaller and slighter than most placekickers, but with one major difference from most rock stars: he has humility, along with a common touch that goes beyond his songs. | | | Jon Bon Jovi has managed that balancing act, selling more than 100 million albums since his debut in 1984. |

| | AudiOracle - Audio Production Books :: A House On Fire: The Rise And Fall Of Philadelphia Soul |
| | The author underscores the endemic racism of the music business at that time, revealing how the three men were blocked from the major record companies and outlets in Philadelphia because they were black, forcing them to create their own label, sign their own artists, and create their own sound. | | | The sound they created--a sophisticated and glossy form of rhythm and blues, characterized by crisp, melodious harmonies backed by lush, string-laden orchestration and a hard-driving rhythm section--was a glorious success, producing at least twenty-eight gold or platinum albums and thirty-one gold or platinum singles. | | | Comment: I believe the soul music coming out of Philly in the 1970's is the best music ever made, and this book gets on the inside on how it all came together. |

| | The history of Philly Soul |
| | As Jackson carefully details the emergence of the Philadelphia production style, almost record by record, and enumerates the previously largely anonymous contributions of various behind-the-scenes engineers, arrangers and musicians, an almost boring predictability sets in. | | | The Sound of Philadelphia, as Gamble and Huff liked to call it, flourished from 1972 to 1975 on the duo's own Philadelphia International label and then vanished beneath the tidal wave of disco. | | | He scattered quasi-religious liner notes across the label's albums, always including his motto, "There's a message in the music," and eventually converted to Islam and changed his name to Luqman Abdul-Haqq, a transformation that happens outside the boundaries of Jackson's narrative. |
