The Sound of Philadelphia

The team got in touch with their soul side by visiting Philadelphia International Records the birth place of the "Sound of Philly". The PIR was set up by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff as a rival to Motown as the place for new urban artists to emerge and develop the soul and R & B sounds. With artists like the O'Jays and Patti Labelle the PIR has a extensive songbook

You may know some of these songs produced and written by Gamble and Huff. The O'Jays "For The Love of Money" and Billy Paul "Me And Mrs. Jones". The 70's throwback shag carpet floor's and walls were amazing and Red just loved belting out a tune.
