The Sound of Philadelphia
Show broadcast Feb 22 2026
Something special was happening in Philadelphia in the 1970s. Thom Bell, Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, Sigma Sound Studios, the musicians of MFSB (mother father sister brother), Bunny Sigler – all of these folks came together, with a bunch of incredibly talented singers, to create Philly Soul. Beautifully produced, lush with strings and horns, catchy with crisp high hats and four on the floor bass drum, Philly Soul folded funk into R&B and paved the way for the rise of disco, while encompasing so much more. On this week’s show, we throw the spotlight on those fabulous grooves.
The post The Sound of Philadelphia appeared first on Living in the 70s.
