PHILLY SOUL

VA - Top 40 Philly Soul The Ultimate Top 40 Collection [2018]

The Philadelphia soul sound of the early 70's represents an unparalleled zenith in the evolution of urban music, while Detroit's Motown sound typified lush musical sophistication and Memphis' Stax-Volt sound embodied deep emotional impact, Philly soul pinpointed and then expanded the middle ground between the two, creating a sweeping, shimmering soul aesthetic that was both playful and profound, as capable of penetrating political commentary as it was smoldering sexual innuendo. While the music produced by Philadelphia International label hit-makers Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, and Thom Bell remains the gold standard among the myriad hits coming out of Philly in the pre-disco era, countless other titles were coming out of the city's studios as well -- some of them were by superstars and most of them were by unknowns, but all were possessed of the same silky smooth universal groove.  (Amazon)
