XXL, usually fairly on top of the ball, is months late on this release, bringing it to us well late of it’s store date, which was in March. But when it’s something this spectacular, it’s definitely better late than never. Those who have seen some of my posts won’t be surprised to know that I’m a huge fan of classic soul. And this might be one of the best collections ever. I love the Gamble and Huff sound that they pumped out of Philadelphia in the 70s, and this something I would recommend without even looking at it. Although I won’t be giving it it’s own post, I also highly recommend VA-Conquer_The_World-The_Lost_Soul_Of_Philadelphia_International_Records-2008-XXL.
Newly elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the American masters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff of Philadelphia International Records wrote and produced some of the most musically creative and socially significant records of our time.
These sixteen American classics celebrate the enduring power and passion of their voice and vision as tastemakers, hitmakers, educators and keepers of the cultural flame.
There’s a message in the music, and the message is love.
Get on board the love train.
