Our Tribute to Philadelphia Soul

PhiladelphiaIf Detroit and Motown brought soul music to the forefront in the 1960s, Philadelphia picked up the mantle in the 1970s, bringing its own brand of gorgeous, orchestral soul music and ultra hot dance music. Literally dozens of terrific groups and fantasic solo singers arose from the seminal work of Gamble & Huff, Thom Bell and others.


For those of us who grew up listening to the O’Jays, Patti LaBelle or Teddy Pendergrass. Philadelphia was an essential place. So here is our tribute to many of the great talents who made that city great.  Click on the names below to see our tributes to each of these great artists of the City of Brotherly Love. Enjoy!
