This week we set the controls of our Wayback Machine to the funky days of 1975 and celebrate the 50th anniversary of some iconic albums! It's a year of highs for a lot of bands we now think of as classic rock; it was a key year for funk and disco; the Philly Soul sound was very much in fashion; and it was a year of reinvention for some well-established acts. We talk about albums by Elton John, KISS, KC and the Sunshine Band, Queen, Parliament, Roxy Music, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, the Boss, and the weirdest album Lou Reed ever made. We even get a history lesson on the Third (THIRD!) Great Cod War!  If you'd like to follow along with our discussion, we have a Spotify Playlist highlighting all the music that we talk about in the show!

The Spinners' story is one of perseverance, evolution, and timeless music that continues to resonate with fans of Motown, Philly Soul, funk, and classic R&B. Their smooth harmonies, intricate vocal arrangements, and signature choreography have made them one of the most enduring groups in soul music history. From their early days in Detroit with Motown to their meteoric rise with Atlantic Records, The Spinners are true legends of the genre.Formed in the '50s in Michigan, The Spinners came together as a vocal group determined to make their mark in the burgeoning R&B scene. They found themselves signed to Motown Records in the '60s, a label that was home to acts like The Temptations, The Supremes, and Marvin Gaye. But The Spinners never quite achieved the same success as their labelmates during their time there. They struggled to break through in a roster filled with some of the biggest names in soul music.Their fate changed in the early '70s when they made a decision that would define their career. Leaving Motown, the band joined Atlantic, under the guidance of producer Thom Bell. With Bell at the helm, The Spinners recorded a string of hits that defined an era. Songs like I'll Be Around, Could It Be I'm Falling in Love, One of a Kind (Love Affair), Mighty Love, and Then Came You—their duet with Dionne Warwick—all became massive hits. Their run of success continued throughout the '70s, with classic tracks like Games People Play and Rubberband Man. The group became known not only for their vocal prowess but also for their stage presence. Their synchronized dance moves and sharp suits made them one of the most exciting live acts of the era.As time passed, The Spinners underwent several lineup changes. They continued to tour and perform, keeping their music fresh for new generations of fans. Even as the music industry evolved, The Spinners remained a staple of classic soul, their songs continuing to be played on R&B stations and featured in movies, commercials, and TV shows.Amidst the transitions, one of the most significant moments in the group's more recent history was the inclusion of Jessie Peck. A longtime fan of The Spinners, Jessie grew up admiring them as a child, wishing one day to be a part of their act. Before joining the group, Jessie had already made a name for himself as a talented vocalist with a deep appreciation for classic R&B. His rich baritone and smooth delivery made him a natural fit for The Spinners' sound, and when the opportunity arose for him to join the legendary group, it was a dream come true.Jessie's arrival injected new energy into the group while maintaining the signature style that fans had come to love. He stepped into his role with the utmost respect for the foundation laid by those who came before him. His passion for the music, combined with his natural talent and stage presence, made him a seamless addition to the lineup.As a performer, Jessie embraced The Spinners' commitment to delivering not just great music but an unforgettable show. The Spinners have always been about more than just singing—they're entertainers in the truest sense, combining tight harmonies with choreographed moves that keep audiences engaged from the first note to the last.Even after decades in the industry, The Spinners continue to thrive, bringing their soulful sound to audiences around the world. Their influence can be heard in countless artists who followed in their footsteps, and their ability to bridge generations of music lovers is a testament to the timeless nature of their songs. Jessie Peck's presence in the group is a reflection of their commitment to excellence, ensuring that The Spinners remain not just a nostalgic act but a living, breathing force in the world of soul, R&B, and classic funk.Jessie Peck joins us this week to share some amazing stories about The Spinners.#classichits #r&b #musiclegends

Text us about this show.Timothy Donovan cut his musical teeth in Boston where he grew up. He heard the likes of Boston bands like The J. Geils Band, Aerosmith, The Cars, and, of course, Boston, but the local scene also had a band called Orpheus who were regional favorites. After his move to northern New Hampshire, he took time off from music but when he came back to it, he began to forge vital relationships with his co-writers Karen Girard and Willie Cintron. He opened Riverside Recording Studios in Berlin, NH and has now formed the TimothyPaul Band.

The music NEVER stopped.On this episode we dive into one of the better pop culture documentaries that we have seen in recent memory in 'Disco's Revenge'.In the early 70s, the beat child of New York's Black and LGBTQ+ communities was born on the city's underground dance floor. Disco emerged as an exuberant musical genre, a vital social movement and a vibrant culture before enduring a vicious backlash nearly a decade later. In our collective pop-culture imagination, Disco's merely a fad relegated to soft-focus memories of  Saturday Night Fever and Studio 54.  It is a pulsating deep dive into the very soul of disco music and its enduring impact across genres and history, told by the people who created it, nurtured it, and in turn, discovered themselves on the dancefloor. The film asks: Why does disco matter and, in these divisive times, why does disco matter now more than ever?  Featuring interviews and performances by Nile Rodgers and Chic, Billy Porter, Nona Hendryx and LaBelle, Grandmaster Flash, Fab Five Freddy, Nicky Siano, Earl Young and The Trammps, Jellybean Benitez, Kevin Saunderson, Sylvester and Martha Wash and many others. Never has a film really got as anthropological when looking at a slice of music culture and that's what makes 'Disco's Revenge' so damn special. With sit down with writer/direcfor's Omar Majeed and Peter Mishara to get deep into the groove of it all.'Disco's Revenge' is on all VOD platforms.

Label: Arista 0139 djYear: 1975Condition: MPrice: $18.00Stereo/Mono promo copy. This is one seriously great dance number, with a powerful sense of menace that you don't normally find in Disco music... Which is why I've decided to put it in the Philly Soul genre instead. No matter... it's a must-have 1975 rarity. Group is New York duo Mike Felder (guitar) and Bill Daniels (piano). They didn't make an album, just a couple of singles, which is why you won't find this tune in Apple Music, Spotify, or other primarily-album-based services. This promo has a somewhat shorter version than on the retail release. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Arista Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Today, the Spotlight shines On Christian McBride, a musician, recording artist, prolific composer, arranger, producer, cultural curator, dedicated educator, and mentor.Christian has been called the hardest-working person in jazz, and based on what I just rattled off, that might be underselling it. From his early days in Philadelphia soaking up the sounds of Philly Soul to sharing stages with legends like Ray Brown and Chick Corea, Christian has become a bridge between jazz's rich history and its vibrant future.These days, you'll find him leading his new band, Ursa Major, hosting NPR's Jazz Night in America, mentoring the next generation of musicians, and somehow finding time to work on a new big band album featuring twelve different vocalists. He's also preparing for an upcoming funk tribute show with none other than George Clinton and Savion Glover at NJPAC.Whether laying down the groove with Inside Straight, his Big Band, or any other celebrated ensemble, Christian brings an irresistible combination of soul, swing, and storytelling to everything he touches. Today, we'll explore his journey from Philly to the world stage, his passion for record collecting, and why he believes being uncomfortable might be the best way to grow as a musician.Quick note: this conversation occurred when our baseball teams were still in contention.

Label: Mercury 72898Year: 1969Condition: M-Price: $15.00This is far from an obscure soul nugget (which I usually reserve the Classic 45s jukebox for), but I got serious goosebumps when playing it today and realized I just don't hear it often enough! Dave Marsh has it pegged just right, slipping it in the top 100 of his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul — a triumph for both the singer and for the writer/producers and their nascent Philly Soul style. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve.

Anice compilation of Philly Soul music. All of these R&B artists hailed from the the great American city Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Stereogum's Tom Breihan returns to Pop Pantheon to dissect the career of pop history's greatest mimic, Bruno Mars. Louie and Tom dive into how Bruno spent his childhood impersonating greats like Elvis and Michael Jackson, his failed start on Motown and early work for other artists, including via his production group The Smeezingtons. Then they discuss his tightly-stitched 2010 debut, Doo-Wops and Hooligans, 2012's pop history grab-bag, Unorthodox Jukebox, and the cultural sensation of his 2014 Mark Ronson-collab, the Morris Day-tributing “Uptown Funk.” Next, they explore Bruno's  tour through Black pop and soul history on 2016's 24K Magic and his Philly Soul and Parliament-Funkadelic-homaging super-duo with Anderson .Paak., Silk Sonic, as they parse whether Bruno is central to his music at all or simply a nostalgia curator. Finally, they rank Bruno Mars in the official Pop Pantheon.Read Tom's Number Ones Column write-ups of "Just The Way You Are" & "Grenade"Listen to Pop Pantheon's Bruno Mars EssentialsJoin Pop Pantheon: All Access, Our Patreon Channel, for Exclusive Content and MoreBuy Tickets to Pop Pantheon Live: Britney's Memoir, Music & Legacy on 11/2 In PasadenaCome to Gorgeous Gorgeous NYC: Halloween Edition on October 27Come to Gorgeous Gorgeous LA on November 10Come to Gorgeous Gorgeous X Who?

The Sound Of Philadelphia La Renaissance de Philadelphia International Records : Une épopée musicale inégalée Des artistes qui représentaient le meilleur de leur genre. Des chansons émanant de Philadelphie et résonnant dans le monde entier, avec une musique aussi somptueuse que l'âme. Les missives du label - incarnées par un logo récurrent représentant une main d'ébène annonçant "Grown Folks Music Only Here !" - annonçaient l'arrivée de "Black Class Pride, Futurequake 2016". L'ascension de Philadelphia International Records : La naissance d'un phénomène musical Philadelphia International Records (PIR) continue d'être un phare : plus qu'une simple maison de disques, elle représente l'essence de la musique noire américaine pour que tout l'univers la reconnaisse. Si Stax Records à Memphis représente les annales de la musique noire à la base et Motown Records à Détroit ce que les Noirs aspirent à devenir depuis longtemps, Philadelphia International s'est positionné au premier plan de l'identité afro-américaine : transcender les barrières tout en conservant sa fierté. La ville de l'amour fraternel est devenue le foyer d'une Renaissance noire florissante qui s'est déroulée dans les années 1960. PIR est né de la volonté de deux hommes déterminés à ne pas commettre deux fois les mêmes erreurs. Huff a rencontré Gamble lorsque ce dernier a pris la relève du jeune Thom Bell au sein de son groupe The Romeos. Leon et Kenny s'associent pour la première fois en 1966, en lançant Excel Records. La révolution sonore de Philadelphia International Records : Quand la musique noire prend son envol Le duo lance son label Neptune Records en 1969, signant The O'Jays, The Three Degrees et Billy Paul. Plus tard, ils engagent Bunny Sigler en tant qu'auteur-compositeur, producteur, arrangeur et chanteur. Gamble & Huff avaient tiré une leçon précieuse de la fermeture de Neptune Records ; ils voulaient se concentrer sur un niveau plus élevé de l'industrie musicale. Dans un effort pour devenir un acteur plus important de la musique noire, le géant CBS cherchait des moyens d'étendre son succès avec les superstars du crossover, Sly & The Family Stone, et des groupes de niche plus modestes comme Buddy Miles, non seulement en raison de leurs succès, mais aussi de la passion de leurs fans. Gamble & Huff : Les architectes du son emblématique de Philadelphia International Records Gamble et Huff, qui savent parfaitement ce qu'il faut faire ET ne pas faire, ont amassé autour d'eux un trésor d'artistes fidèles et d'auteurs-compositeurs de premier ordre. Ils devaient trouver des arrangeurs et des musiciens capables de donner à l'album un son allant du funky à l'élégant. Ils avaient également besoin d'une distribution nationale, d'un marketing et d'une promotion solides s'ils voulaient que leur musique soit entendue par un grand nombre de personnes. Mighty Three/Assorted Publishing et les compositeurs de Gamble & Huff ont également été inclus dans l'accord, ainsi que le vieil ami Thom Bell. Alors que l'encre noire séchait sur le papier blanc, l'aboutissement d'une rencontre musicale a vu le jour. Au milieu des années 1970, la société de Gamble et Huff - désormais appelée Philadelphia International Records (PIR) - a conclu un partenariat avec Archie Bell & The Drells qui a débouché sur plusieurs succès. PIR a ensuite signé avec Billy Paul pour son album Going East . La première chanson de PIR à entrer dans le classement Billboard Magazine R&B Singles est "You're The Reason Why", du quatuor vocal The Ebonys, de Camden, New Jersey. Elle a atteint la dixième place de ce classement au printemps 1971. Bien que Gamble & Huff obtiennent quelques autres succès dans le Top 20 avec "It's Forever", les autres ti...

As broadcast April 20, 2023 with plenty of love, because that is The Message.  Tonight we start on this date in 1974, when MFSB's "TSOP" topped the charts in the US, mainly on the back of being the intro music to the nationally syndicated "Soul Train" TV show with Don Cornelius.  After that, there's a lot to do in the present in the funk and soul worlds, as Pete Rock, The Ironsides, Lonnie Liston Smith, and many other highly worthy artists were out with new singles to upcoming albums.  After the clock went gong again, Dan Lloyd once again joined us to highlight what's new and interesting in the world of rock stars and smashed guitars, with highlights from Squid, Better Lovers, and Metallica to keep you sweaty and desperate to the bitter end.#feelthegravityTracklist (st:rt)Part I (00:00)MFSB – Love Is The MessageLady Wray – Joy & Pain (Pete Rock remix)ENNY feat Loyle Carner – Take It SlowAllen Stone – MagicRudy De Anda – June Gloom (Smilin')The Ironsides - OutlinesPart II (36:02)Lonnie Liston Smith w/Jazz Is Dead – DawnWnbl – ContemplationBorn 74 & Onj – Don't Need My ShadowLITE – Endless BlueDragonfruit feat Hudson – Space TravelerRick Wade – The EmperorPart III (66:13)Better Lovers – 30 Under 13Metallica – Too Far GoneSquid – UndergrowthRancid – Tomorrow Never ComesMars Volta – Blank Condolences (Acoustic)Part IV (99:18)Militarie Gun – Very HighJethro Tull – GinnungagapCinema Stare – BadRoyal Thunder – FadeThe Breeders – SaintsDave Hause – Tarnish

Label: Phil. Int'l. 3521Year: 1972Condition: M-Last Price: $15.00. Not currently available for sale.Listening to this Philly Soul classic again today, I was thinking that the spark of genius at work here, in the collaboration among Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Bobby Martin, is precisely the same as that which gave life to the Motown genius of producer/writers like Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong, with miracles of Soul music such as "Just My Imagination" by the Temptations. Anyway, what I mean is... I love it! Not on the Rolling Stone, Dave Marsh or Kev Roberts lists? I think I'm hearing something those guys don't, cause to me this is a 2-star recommendation (our highest)! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Philadelphia Int'l Records factory sleeve. It has gorgeous, pristine Mint audio.

Before he graced the covers of Right On! and Black Beat, O'Bryan was a church kid with a stunning tenor tone informed by years of listening to Stevie Wonder, Donny Hattaway, Phyllis Hyman, and the Delphonics, among others.His vocal abilities impressed a string of influential people that guided him through his musical journey, from Philly Soul legend Ron Kersey to the mighty "Soul Train" creator Don Cornelius, who later became co-writer of his songs and executive producer for most of his output with Capitol RecordsFor his first single release with Capitol, O'Bryan choose a masterful blend of sounds that signaled a shift in musical trends in the early 1980s. It was the first in a series of tunes that elevated him as one of the top Rhythm and Blues heartthrobs of his generation, creating an unbroken relationship with his devoted audience.Show Tracklisting:I Want You Back (Jackson 5)Ben (Michael Jackson)Right From The Start (O'Bryan)Still Waters (Love) (O'Bryan)The Gigolo (O'Bryan)Soul Train's A Comin' (O'Bryan)Lovelite (O'Bryan)O'Bryan on social mediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/obryanmusic/Twitter: https://twitter.com/IAMOBRYANHost and Producer: Diego MartinezExecutive Producer: Nicholas "NickFresh" PuzoAudio Engineer: Adam FogelFollow us on social media: @choonspodSubscribe to our PATREON: patreon.com/choonspod

As promised, here's another Sounds of Sigma mix. If you love grooves to drive to like me, this one's for you. I have no idea what to do for a Vol. 3 yet, so we'll see sometime next year in 2023. Can you name all of the Artists?  If you dig what you hear, download it for free, share it with those who may as well, and play it in your car baby!Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the latest mix. Until next time, Peace kids (And be on the look out for the next 2-Step Delights Mix pt. 4 dropping very soon!)

What is Philly Soul? Well, the personification of that sound can be best heard in the slow, soulful ballads and great high harmonies of the 3 members of this under appreciated band. We go deeper than just the hits like "la-la Means iLove you" and "Didn't i blow your mind (this time)" Enjoy

WutUpDoe... Some of you may recognize the artwork and title of this mix from 3-4 years ago, but I decided that the first volume was not up to standard. This is the 2nd take where I should have taken my time rather than just record while I was mixing live at my first car show gig for The Royale Cigar Lounge in Columbus, Ohio at that time. This is dedicated to a friend that found me online many years ago through MySpace and that has taken the time to teach me about so much music I probably never would have heard otherwise: Mr. Dorian Green aka Dino. Originally born in West Philly, but has resided in Flint, Michigan for decades that just about everyone knows one way or another through his kind acts of service, as a radio dj in his younger years, or making and supporting musical acts of all genres. I just wanted to show my appreciation using what I love to do when I have time to do it. This is 1 of 3 Volumes I hope to finish by the Summer of 2023, but also I can't wait to visit his crazy ass before this year is out LOL. Once again, I'd like to take time to thank those for tuning in since 2009, and I hope you dig what you hear. Feel free to download, share, and play for whoever may dig these Vibes. I thoroughly enjoyed making this first Volume. Peace. The Artists in order as mixed: M.F.S.B. ; David Morales ft Michelle Perera, The Jones Girls, S.E.L. & Teddy Douglas; Lou Rawls; The O'Jays;  Teddy Pendergrass; First Choice; M.F.S.B.;  Double Exposure; Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes; M.F.S.B. :-)

As broadcast May 19, 2022 with plenty of extra heartache for your old school idealism.  Tonight we mark the combustible but amicably broken up marriage between Stevie Wonder and Rita "Syreeta" Wright in 1970 and the amazing music that emerged from the acrimony in the end, including their lifetime friendship.  After that, we play a lot of combustible funk & soul artists from back in the day while also wishing Sam Smith a very happy 30th birthday and marking new tunes from Drop MVP's like Monophonics, Surprise Chef, and Robohands amongst others.  For parts 3 and 4 Dan Lloyd brings the rock and we turn it up to 11 by noting Spinal Tap's ostensible rise from the grave for a sequel.  We also had new tunes from Viagra Boys, Cave In, Dune Rats, and our favorite new band Teen Jesus and The Jean Teasers to round things out for the show.#feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)Syreeta – I Love Every Little Thing About YouSisters Love – Give Me Your LoveAlice Clark – Don't You CareThe Diddys feat Paige Douglas – Intergalactic Love SongsMonophonics – Sage MotelMonophonics – Love You Better Part II (32:21)Robohands – La Em CimaSurprise Chef – Spring's ThemeSam Smith – Stay With MeLittle Beaver – Get Into The Party LifeMica Millar – Heaven KnowsCharly Brown – The Sub Club pt. 1 Part III (61:09)My Chemical Romance – The Foundations of DecayViagra Boys – TroglodyteDeath Cab For Cutie – Roman CandleSports Team – The GameCave In – ReckoningPart IV (91:12)Dune Rats – Melted Into TwoTeen Jesus and the Jean Teasers – Girl SportsSpinal Tap – Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You TonightWeird Nightmare – WreckedLake Malice – Magic SquareBayside – Strangest Faces 

As broadcast April 15, 2022 with plenty of exclusive stuff to take home with you.  Tonight we welcomed LA-based soul singer-songwriter Mark Evich to the show, and just like our conversations via text leading up to this, we covered a lot.  From his disgust with the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the influence of an art teacher helping him discover his love of rnb back in the day, it was a great conversation not to mention the choice selects on the playlist!  We're honored to give the world premiere spin to his upcoming single "PRIME," which you can only get a listen to right here on The Drop until next Friday!#feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)Archie Bell & The Drells – StrategyDwele – A.N.G.E.L. Karriem Riggins – Bahia DreaminEric Lau – Contacttajima hal – WavemotionBADBADNOTGOOD feat Arthur Verocai & Karriem Riggins – Beside April Part II (30:03)The Hue feat Kissey Asplund – Stressin' Thes One – Hard TimesVanJess feat Lucky Daye – Slow DownMasego & FKJ – TadowDJ Cam Quartet – Rebirth of CoolRobert Glasper Experiment with Pete Rock – Everybody Loves The Sunshine Part III (66:50)Mark Evich – Back Home with UTemu – Wear My Shoes Lynda Dawn – Fonk StreetLeon Bridges – Bad Bad NewsLuis Miguel – Luz VerdeZo! feat Eric Roberson – We Are On The Move Part IV (114:14)Mark Evich – PRIMEKeni Burke – Risin' to the TopLarry June – 6am in SausalitoRick Ross – Santorini GreeceBsuavee feat WESTSIDE BOOGIE, Yoey Composes & Yelly – California DreamSteelo feat Arin Rey & Buddy – My Love 

The rock 'n' soul legend opens up about revisiting four decades of his solo career with a new retrospective, 'BeforeAfter.' Over the course of the conversation, he reflects on making music with the likes of Robert Fripp and Dave Stewart, his early years working for Philly Soul icons Gamble & Huff, whether superstition plays a role in his songwriting process, and what's next for his beloved webseries-turned-cable program, 'Live from Daryl's House.'

As broadcast March 24, 2022 with plenty of extra rocks to throw for your podcast grab bag.  Tonight we remember soul legend Harold Melvin twenty five years on from his passing to the day, the brains behind THE band that emulated the Philly Soul sound.  Lots of great new soul out the past couple of weeks to carry his torch forward, with Say She She, Kokoroko, Lyves, and M Ross Perkins all out with outstanding new joints and albums.  Dan Lloyd joins us for the season's maiden voyage on our AMPED rock hour after that, with great new tunes and album announcements from Arcade Fire, Royal Blood, PLOSIVS, and Holy Fawn to keep things moving to the end.#feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes – The Love I LostSay She She – Forget Me NotVendredi Sur Mer – MonochromeElis Regina – Jardins de Infancia (2022 remaster)Kokoroko – We Give ThanksEbi Soda – Gated Community with A Public Pool Part II (30:03)Lyves – How Would It FeelSay She She – Blow My MindM Ross Perkins – Industrial Good Day MantraOumou Sangare – Wassulu DonSay Hazan – Remove The TalkMavis Staples feat Levon Helm – You Got To MoveEli “Paperboy” Reed – I'm Bringing Home The Good News Part III (59:34)Royal Blood – HoneybrainsWeezer – Angels on VacationPlacebo – Happy Birthday in the SkyArcade Fire – The Lightning I, IIMuse – Compliance Part IV (92:14)PLOSIVS – Hit the BreaksCrawlers – I Can't DriveCounterpunch – Waiting in the WingsDef Leppard –  KickDelta Spirit – What's Done is DoneHoly Fawn – Death is a Relief

 DJ Kingblind presents The Big Beat online radio show- This week we talk about & play the best music in a themed Podcast called "Philly Soul" Philadelphia soul is a genre of late 1960s–1970s soul music characterized by funk influences and lush instrumental arrangements, often featuring sweeping strings and piercing horns. The genre laid the groundwork for disco by fusing the R&B rhythm sections of the 1960s with the pop vocal tradition, and featuring a slightly more pronounced jazz influence in its melodic structures and arrangements.
