🎧 #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.
