Though it was considered by purists to be Soul music's first sellout move, the rise of Philly Soul actually resulted in more R&B airplay than pop smashes, proving that R&B had grown up and become sophisticated while keeping its doo-wop heart. We don’t identify PIR with such drama. As the era progressed and grew more sexually charged, PIR by way of Teddy Pendergrass mostly, had plenty of songs reflecting the mood of the times. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt4bWvuRKY7ohVO1Ru1GCLPDGAM8… THE MOTOWN SOUND VS THE PHILADELPHIA SOUND I was a late fan of Motown and I say, for want of a better all purpose description, a late fan of pop music made by African Americans that would eventually morph into Soul music.

Although By the time PIR came along, it was simply building on that story. Mainstream America may be fixated mostly on Motown and STAX, but for most of us The Sound of Philadelphia is on the soundtrack of our great American music story. This was the case because my first exposure like many was through radio and what was played was largely Motown of the 1960’s. If you grew up in Philadelphia in the early 1970s and had ears—and I was lucky on both counts—you couldn't escape what came to be known as the Philly Sound. Motown actually helped pave the way for PIR’s success. “Love TKO,” “Love Train,” “If You Don’t Know Me By Now,” “Me and Mrs. Jones,” and, of course, the legendary Soul Train theme song, “TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)” are among the many hits from Philadelphia’s dynamic music duo, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, known simply as One of many reasons is simply timing. was through radio and what was played was largely Motown of the 1960’s.But one could not luxuriate in the music of

Ever.At a time when Top 40 radio was bleating out soulless tunes like Song Sung Blue, Ben, and Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree, the Philly Sound wafted through the air like a warm summer breeze. Like black America itself, the music remains rich and multifaceted. It’s like a grand American saga. Motown’s story is as much a part of its brand as its music.

Mainstream America may be fixated mostly on Motown and STAX, but for most of us The Sound of Philadelphia is on the soundtrack … Like Motown and Stax-Volt, the style known as "Philly Soul" was born largely of one label, in this case the city's own Philadelphia International Records, headed by the songwriting and production team of Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff. On top of that, there’s a soap opera effect with the tales of who slept with whom as well as who back stabbed which singer. While PIR may have made music that some would label more black-identified than that of Motown, somehow it just didn’t possess the same mystique.
