Happy Birthday to Kenny Gamble, the architect of the Sound of Philadelphia, born August 11, 1943.
What Motown and Detroit were to music of the 1960s, Gamble and Huff and their Philadelphia International Records were to the 1970s. The most important record producers and executives of that decade, they helped launch the careers of such acts as the O’Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, the Jones Girls and dozens of other acts.
