Happy Valentine’s Day from the City of Brotherly Love! I’ve got some gifts for you!
About 10 minutes into creating my “Best of Philly Disco” mix in 2009, I immediately realized that at least one, if not two sequels were necessary. In trying to represent so many facets of this prolific time in Philly’s music history (and make a tasteful mix), I realized that one mix couldn’t cover it all.
Here again are the criteria I used to select the tunes:
1. Made by a Philly-born/bred artist
2. Made by an artist on a Philly record label
3. Written/Arranged/Composed someone strongly associated with the Philly sound
4. Played by a Philly label’s house band
This volume is dedicated to the memory of the great Teddy Pendergrass, who passed away in 2010.
As an added bonus (and this week’s “Year of the Edit” contribution), you can download my edit of The Spinners – I’ll Be Around which appears on the mix!
