#Tierra - "Together" (1980)
Call me softheaded, but damn it if this hit #Intruders cover wasn't the very best #PhillySoul update EVER. That brief quote of "Cowboys to Girls"! It gets me every time.

the delfonics cut that just ran - "ready or not here i come" (philly groove, 1968) - is where lauryn hill's hook on the fugees' "ready or not" comes from. straight lift.
thom bell produced and arranged it. william hart's falsetto up front, bell's strings underneath - philly soul before gamble & huff owned the sound. no. 35 pop, no. 14 r&b, second life on a '96 sample.

"A soul-soaked re-interpretation of the doo-wop classic by The Dominoes, given a further fifteen minutes of kissin', fifteen minutes of teasin', fifteen minutes of pleasin', and fifteen minutes of blowin' their top, to bring this song bang up to date in this current Philly style."

#FalsettoFriday #HipHop #Rap #NowPlaying #TheNotoriousBIG #BiggieSmalls
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.

Went for a wander on my lunch break, and passing by a mess in an alley made this #GettingClean song spring to mind. A classic of Philly Soul, it's ideal for the #JukeboxFridayNight.

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!)

"Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" is a song co-written by record producer #ThomBell and #WilliamHart, lead singer of the American R&B/Soul vocal group #theDelfonics. It was released by the group in 1969 on the Philly Groove record label and is regarded as a classic, winning a #GrammyAward for #BestR_BVocalPerformanceByADuoOrGroup. It is considered one of the most notable early #PhillySoul singles and typical of the genre, "Didn't I" is a slow love ballad.

Mad props to the young delivery truck driver blasting deep 1960s cuts from The Intruders with the van doors wide open while delivering to the apartments across the street.
