A nudisco celebration of the music of Philadelphia International Records and the role it played in the development of disco. Founded in 1971 by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, the label's original vision was to rival Berry Gordy's Motown organisation. Gamble and Huff were also responsible for writing many of the label's greatest hits, which often featured their own in-house orchestra MFSB (or Mother Father Sister Brother). Gamble and Huff have also been activists supporting the black community and improving south Philadelphia. They created Universal Companies which in 2003 partnered with others in a $100 million plan to construct and renovate 400 homes. Together they have written over 3,000 songs producing 175 gold and platinum records, making them some of the most prolific songwriters of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.  Mixed with love in London.  XX F*All the original tracks are available on Spotify, where you'll find the playlist so you can create your own mix.

Radio Funk | Le Podcast de Funky Pearls Radio

Today on Funky Pearls Radio, we're diving into the captivating journey of Dexter Wansel , a multi-talented keyboardist, arranger, producer, and recording artist whose influence is deeply woven into the fabric of Philadelphia International Records.  Born Dexter Gilman Wansel on August 22, 1950, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Dexter's musical odyssey began in the bustling corridors of the Uptown Theater in Philadelphia. As a 12-year-old gofer, he rubbed shoulders with legends like Stevie Wonder and Patti Labelle, sparking his passion for music. Dexter's life took a dramatic turn when he served in the Vietnam War, a harrowing experience that left a profound impact on him.  Despite this, Dexter returned with a renewed vigor for music, channeling his experiences into his art. In 1975, Dexter's path crossed with Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, the masterminds behind Philadelphia International Records. As a member of Yellow Sunshine, alongside guitarist Roland Chambers, Dexter's talent shone brightly, leading to session work with The Ebony's and eventually becoming a part of the staff creative collective at Philadelphia International Records.  Dexter's genius blossomed at PIR, where he arranged, played keyboards, and wrote songs for acts like The O'Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, and The Intruders. His work with Patti Labelle, especially the song 'Shoot Him on Sight', showcased his ability to craft songs across genres.  Dexter Wansel's compositions are a testament to his versatility and profound musicality. He wrote for Jean Carn, Shirley Jones, The Jacksons, The Stylistics, and many more, crafting songs that are revered in R and B history.  His work with artists like Amy Keys, The O'Jays, Miles Jaye, and Marilyn Scott further diversified his portfolio. In addition to his prolific work as a songwriter and arranger, Dexter released several influential solo albums, including 'Life on Mars' (1976), 'Voyager' (1978), and 'Time Is Slipping Away' (1979). These albums, featuring tracks like 'The Sweetest Pain' and 'Solutions', are celebrated for their innovative fusion of R and B with space-age and funk elements. Dexter Wansel's contributions extend beyond the United States. He worked with U.K. soul artists like Junior and Loose Ends, further establishing his international appeal.  His later albums, such as 'Captured' (1986) and 'Universe' (1991), continued to showcase his evolution as an artist, exploring new sounds and themes. In 2021, Dexter released 'The Story Of The Flight Crew To Mars', demonstrating his enduring creativity and relevance in the modern music scene.  Throughout his career, Dexter Wansel has remained a beacon of innovation and artistry in R and B music. As we celebrate Dexter Wansel's legacy on Funky Pearls Radio, we're reminded of the power of music to transcend boundaries and time.  From the hallowed halls of the Uptown Theater to the forefront of Philadelphia International Records, Dexter Wansel's journey is a testament to the enduring spirit of R and B music. His contributions have left an indelible mark, inspiring generations of musicians and music lovers alike.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Helen Scott of The Three Degrees - “When Will I See You Again”

Episode 80. Host Troy Saunders has his latest conversation with the legendary Helen Scott, one the founders of The Three Degrees, best known for their 1973 worldwide hit, “When Will I See You Again”. The Three Degrees have been doing it and doing it strong for over 60 years and this special episode will focus on their incredible career.Their manager Richard Barrett brought three young teenagers, Scott, Fayette Pinkney and Janet Harmon, together in Philadelphia. The three didn't know each other before joining the group, which recorded for the Philly-based Swan Records. They scored their first hit in 1965 with the single “Gee Baby (I'm Sorry),” which Troy plays a sample of.Troy says that The Three Degrees helped initiate Philadelphia International Records (“You can say it, I won't” quips Scott). Philly International is the legendary Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff soul label that featured The O'Jays, Patti LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, and McFadden & Whitehead. Philadelphia International Records created a musical legacy that culminated in "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)," the 1974 hit recording by MFSB featuring vocals by The Three Degrees that was the theme for “Soul Train,” the first TV theme song (and perhaps the first disco song) to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. When Don Cornelius refused to allow any references to “Soul Train” in the single release, The Three Degrees' singing of the title was removed. But, the group would achieve their own major commercial success when “When Will I See You Again” became a hit later that year.Troy and Helen discuss how The Three Degrees had tremendous success in the U.K., where they performed for Prince Charles' 30th birthday celebration at Buckingham Palace. Not only did they tour the palace before most people were able to do so, but they were invited to attend the wedding reception of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, among the few Americans invited. The press even nicknamed The Three Degrees as “Charlie's Angels”. The group performed for almost every member of the royal family in support of their various trusts and charities.Helen is proud that The Three Degrees have maintained that name since 1963. It's been a joyful ride that not many groups have been able to accomplish. The conversation covers the wide range of styles that the group covered throughout their career and Helen is very open and candid in telling their amazing story. She also shares her suggestions to new artists who are just beginning their musical journey. This episode is a memorable dive into a great musical journey from the legendary singer who lived it.Listen and subscribe to the BAAS Entertainment Podcast on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Podchaser, Spotify, Stitcher and TuneIn. “Hey, Alexa.

Venus Codes Sommerserie 2022: In dieser Serie stelle ich Dir ein paar besondere frühe Venus Codes-Folgen vor. Heute Teil 6 der Serie: Original-Folge 32. Es folgt die Originalbeschreibung dieser Folge: Oh my fucking God, the Love Train is coming! In anderen Worten: Meine Freundin Johanna und ich haben es endlich mal wieder geschafft, uns hinzusetzen und zusammen eine Episode Venus Codes für Dich aufzunehmen. Und diese Episode hat es wirklich in sich: Meine Frühlingsgefühle brechen durch und ich berichte Dir über meinen Lieblings-DHL-Mann; wir sprechen über Monogamie vs offene Beziehungen, über stereotype Bilder von weiblicher (und männlicher) Lust und Sexualität, über die Moralisierung verschiedener Lebensbereiche durch die Kirche im Lauf der Jahrhunderte und über die Auslöschung weiblicher spiritueller Autorität beim Zusammenstellen der Bibel. Außerdem analysieren wir die Rolle der Kirche als Institution des Patriarchats und schauen uns an, warum sie Sex so krass tabuisiert hat – und was das Ganze mit toxischer Macht zu tun hat. Ich wünsche Dir viel Freude mit meiner lieben Johanna und mir. Es folgen die Links und weiterführende Hinweise zu dieser Episode: >> Urheber-Hinweis zum Song "Love Train": Die Interpreten der Original-Version waren "The O'Jays" >> Vera F. Birkenbihl (1946 - 2011) argumentiert in ihrem Vortrag "Was wir unbedingt über Indien wissen müssen", dass mit der Entstehung des Pflugs in der Jungsteinzeit Männer ein alleiniges Monopol auf Nahrung bekamen und somit die Grundlage für die Entstehung des Patriarchats gelegt worden seie. Leider ist der Vortrag aktuell nicht mehr frei verfügbar. Es gibt sicherlich weitere Theorien über die Entstehung unserer heutigen patriarchalen Gesellschaftsstruktur. >> Meggan Watterson schreibt in ihrem sehr lesenswerten Buch "Mary Magdalene Revealed" (Hay House 2019), sich beziehend auf das Evangelium der Maria Magdalena: "Sin is not some state of being that must be redeemed. Sin is something we produce within ourselves when we misunderstand the truth of who we are; when we forget that we are not just human, we are not just this ego assailed with constand needs and desires.We are not just this body, but also the soul that inhabits it while we're alive. Sin comes from forgetting, and is remedied by simply remembering that messy truth that we are both a soul and an ego." (S. 74) >> Zum Blog-Artikel "Let's talk about Sex, Baby – weibliche Selbstermächtigung im Schlafzimmer" – suzannefrankenfeld.de/sexualitaet-heilen/ >> Entdecke meine kostenfreie E-Mail-Serie "Weiblich, kraftvoll, einfach Du" unter suzannefrankenfeld.de/weiblich-kraftvoll-du/ >> Selbstliebe-Onlinekurs "Journey To Love" – suzannefrankenfeld.de/love/ >> Kostenfreie, zweiteilige Soul Business Masterclass – https://suzannefrankenfeld.de/masterclass/ >> Triff mich auch auf Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/suzannefrankenfeld/ Johanna hat aktuell keine Internetpräsenz.

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes featuring Teddy Pendergrass were one of the pillars of the mighty Philadelphia International Records label run by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff. On their fourth album (and last with Pendergrass) mixed social issues with quiet storm and the results were an album that – despite hitting #1 on the R&B charts in 1975 and producing a ubiquitous disco hit – still seems underappreciated to this day.Join us as we discuss this phenomenon plus share recent discoveries by Carli Brill and St. Panther on an all-new episode of the all-new Discologist.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/discologist.

So we're having a Campground Slasher Week to celebrate for some reason! Chris & Kelsey go to summer camp and enjoy the spin cycle! The Classic Film: Madman (1981) "A legendary psychopathic murderer stalks a summer camp” (IMDb.com). In a movie that probably thinks it's more serious than it is, this killer—functionally a combination of Jason and Candyman—probably could have been replaced by Bigfoot and been more interesting. The Modern Film: Fear Street: Part Two - 1978 (2021) "Shadyside, 1978. School's out for summer and the activities at Camp Nightwing are about to begin. But when another Shadysider is possessed with the urge to kill, the fun in the sun becomes a gruesome fight for survival” (Netflix). The Fear Street trilogy just gets better as it takes us to 1978 and we learn a bit more about how the curse works and things get a bit more personal.

Raised in Detroit, Michigan and vocally trained by their mom, gospel singer Mary Frazier Jones, Shirley, Brenda, and Valorie Jones were a musical wonder from the very start. Their misty harmonies caught the ears of some of the greatest performers of all time—from Norman Connors to Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross— who hired them as their backing vocalists.They became so damn good that Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff signed them to Philadelphia International Records and gave them all the attention they deserved with beautifully-crafted songs like “You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else,” “At Peace With Woman,” and “I Just Love The Man.”Their ride on the ‘love train' reached its ultimate destination with a mysterious jazz-infused track written by Dexter Wensel and Cynthia Biggs El, inspired by a failed college trip to Egypt. It almost never made it to the PIR catalogue, but after the girls laid their vocals, “Nights Over Egypt” grew to become a Quiet Storm standard and source of inspiration for Hip-Hop and Rap artists, musicians, and music lovers everywhere, cementing the singers' place in the industry.More on Shirley JonesWebsiteInstagramShow TracklistingWho Can I Run To (Xscape)Put A Little Love In Your Heart (Mary Frazier Jones)Oh I Feel Good (Mary Frazier Jones and the Jones Sisters)Almighty Fire (Aretha Franklin)Love Hangover (Diana Ross and the Jones Sisters Live at Midnight Special)You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else (The Jones Girls)I Just Love The Man (The Jones Girls)At Peace With Woman (The Jones Girls)Nights Over Egypt (The Jones Girls)I Won't Tell (Shirley Jones)Host and Producer: Diego MartinezExecutive Producer: NickFreshAudio Engineer: Adam Fogel Follow us on social media: @choonspod

Med en baryton lika mäktig som mjuk hittade han hem i en miljö där gatans råa verklighet mötte sidenlakan. Där honungen hälldes ut över kokande asfalt. Predikanten och trummisen Theodore Pendergrass förvandlades till en av de största soulsångarna, men priset han fick betala blev högt. Teddy kom fram i Philadelphia där ingen drömde intensivare än producent- och låtskrivarparet Kenneth Gamble och Leon Huff. Deras orkestrerade vision gav själslig vägledning och revolutionära teser för dagen, extatiska rytmer att leva ut till på natten och soulindränkt romantik att älska till fram till gryningen. Teddy Pendergrass hade rösten som behärskade alla dessa känslolägen. Han var Gamble och Huffs mest fulländade instrument.

FUNKY PEARLS vol 699 SPECIAL TSOP by DJ TAREK FROM PARIS "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" is a 1973 hit recording by MFSB (Mother, Father, Sister, Brother) featuring vocals by The Three Degrees. A classic example of the Philadelphia soul genre, it was written by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff as the theme for the American musical television program Soul Train, which specialized in African American musical performers. The single was released on the Philadelphia International label. It was the first television theme song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100,[1] and it is arguably the first disco song to reach that position. The song is essentially an instrumental piece, featuring a lush blend of strings and horns in the Philadelphia soul style. There are only two vocal parts to the song: a passage close to the beginning during which The Three Degrees sing "People all over the world!"; and the chorus over the fadeout, "Let's get it on/It's time to get down". The words "People all over the world!" are not heard in the original version. The version heard on Soul Train also had the series title sung over the first four notes of the melody, "Soul Train, Soul Train". This particular version was released on a 1975 Three Degrees album, International. TSOP hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1974 and remained there for two weeks, the first television theme song to do so in the history of that chart.[1] It also topped the American R&B chart (for one week) and adult contemporary chart (for two weeks).[2] The Three Degrees would revisit the top of the AC chart later in 1974 with their hit single, When Will I See You Again. Don Cornelius, the creator and host of Soul Train, refused to allow any references to the name of the television series when the single was released, leading Gamble and Huff to adopt the alternate title for the release. Cornelius would later admit that not allowing the single to be named Soul Train was a major mistake on his part.[3] Although it was rerecorded a number of times for future versions of the show, and various different themes were used during the late 1970s and early 1980s, TSOP returned in the late 1980s and remained the theme song for Soul Train through the disco, 1980s R&B, new jack swing, hip-hop, and neo soul eras of black music. TSOP was covered by Dexys Midnight Runners and released as a B-side on the 12" version of the "Jackie Wilson Said" single, later issued on the remastered version of the album Too-Rye-Ay. The band also used it to open some of their live shows. Another remake of the tune was made in 1978 by reggae band Inner Circle, who had a history of covering American soul songs in the laid-back reggae style of the late 1970s. Two more covers were made in 1987 (by George Duke), and 1999 (by Sampson); both versions would be used as themes for Soul Train. The 1999 theme would be used until Soul Train 's final episode in 2006. The song is played at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia prior to every Phillies home game. The song was also played after Vancouver Whitecaps NASL home games at Empire Stadium in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and after Vancouver 86ers CSL home games in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Pilipinas, Game KNB?, a Philippines game show hosted by actor/politician Edu Manzano, used an adaptation of TSOP (Tanya) called Papayo Yowza as its theme. The song's opening was also sampled as program identification for all Philadelphia 76ers games broadcast on WCAU-AM in the mid-to-late 1970s. In 1998, German act BMR featuring Dutch singer Felicia Uwaje sampled the single in their song Check It Out. A similar melody is used in the anime series Haré+Guu. *From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What up good folks. This week we feature a tribute to Gamble and Huff.  Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff left a legacy that is usually mistaken for Motown hits. This dynamic duo was responsible for the Signature Classic Philadelphia Sound. With a strong street presence in the music, infused with the full ochestral sound the music paints a picture of the musical climate. Jazz, Rock and soul and heavy "Fonque" that spanned from the 60-the 80 with a progression from Orchestral to more electric funk, noticable in the timeless works of the O'Jays. Enjoy.
