“If You Don’t Know Me by Now” was released in 1972 and became the first hit single for Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, with the enormously talented lead singer Teddy Pendegrass. It’s also on this Best of Teddy Pendergrass double LP. #phillysoul #gambleandhuff #teddypendergrass

Tragicomedy is never unwelcome round here, and Biggie was a master of it. His reworking of "Hey Love" originally done by #TheDelfonics (arguably the best early 70s #falsetto R&B group) is as wickedly hilarious as it is sad/true. But make no mistake: this wasn't a piss take, as he loved #PhillySoul as much as I do. Here's hoping Biggie's now resting at much higher, more beautiful strata of heaven then that pretender #Tupac ever deserved. Happy #FalsettoFriday everyone.
“For the Love of Money” from the 1973 album Ship Ahoy by The O’Jays, one of the preeminent Philly Soul bands, with the masterful team of Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff producing throughout and writing almost every song. #ojays #phillysoul #vinyl #recordcollection #gambleandhuff
If you're in #Lancaster on tonight & love #PhillySoul then pop into the Stonewell Tap (Church St.) when #ProfDJ will be playing nothing but #TSOP all evening (all on vinyl)
Indulge yourself in some lush, symphonic #soul, grab some wonderful artisanal #beer & forget the sh*tshow outside.
When all around seems dark, Philly Soul will lift your mood (or at the least get your foot tapping!)

You know it makes sense

The Thom Bell playlist on Spotify compiled by @somevelvetblog is great, but the Elton John songs are awkward! #philly #phillysoul #EltonJohn
