🎧 #GambleAndHuff's Philadelphia International Records defined "Philly Soul" aka "The Sound of Philadelphia" aka #TSOP in the 70s and beyond.
They signed a sometimes forgotten group #PeoplesChoice in 1974, and #LeonHuff wrote and produced "Do It Any Way You Wanna." It was a cross-over hit on the #Soul, #Top40 and #Disco charts in early 1975.
I played the single when I DJ'd "Spring Dance" at my HS that year.

🎧 50 Years Ago Tonight, #TheOJays had the top song on the #Billboard #Hot100 with "Love Train." The song hit #1 on the #RnB chart the month before.

🎧 I'm in my 1973 (at 14) memories on Saturday afternoon watching #SoulTrain, enjoying Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes perform "The Love I Lost." Released by #Philadelphia #International #Records—the home of #TSOP has a #YT page.
