Love Train: the Ultimate Sound of Philadelphia [MINIDISC]

Search: Jean Carne - Was That All It Was
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 04, 1998
Soul music had several regional centres in the `60's, and there was a distinctive sound from each, notably Detroit, and Memphis, but also in Muscle Shoals and Chicago. Equally, several labels became synonymous with a Soul sound, Motown, Stax and Atlantic, 3 of the best known.

In late 60's Philadelphia, Thom Bell was producing and arranging for the Delfonics, adding elements not normally associated with Soul vocal groups, and in doing so, providing a blueprint for what became known as Sweet Soul. Bell carried this sound with him to The Stylistics, where his writing and arranging with Linda Creed, together with the Groups vocals, created a major stir with their first album on the Atco label in 1970. Both groups feature strongly here, ... Read More:

The First Ladies of Philadelphia Soul

Search: Jean Carne - Was That All It Was
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 21, 1998
Girls were never the thing at PIR - it was always male groups like the O'Jays or singers like Teddy Pendergrass & Billy Paul.

This CD shows they could work well with girls but the magic wasn't really there.

The best tracks are the power singing of Jean Carne on "Was that all it was", the catchy "Nights Over Egypt" & the all out disco of "Strut Your Funcy Stuff".

Standout track "The Sweetest Pain" is credited to the producer (a man) with the excellent lady vocalist (Terri Wells)seemingly not mentioned anywhere!

Not a great CD but worth £10 or so of any soul fan's money!
