There is one group from the late 60's early 70's that is among my favorites and not mentioned. "Friends of Distinction" Grazing in the grass; love or let me be lonely and going in circles were their well known #'s but they were really a great soul group. I wish I could find more of their old albums, tough find. (Philly list includes - Teddy Pendergrass with Howard Melvin and the Bluenotes; Delphonics, The O'Jays and Stylistics. Also Curtis Mayfield and Issac Hayes (more funk) The Reverend Al Green and my personal favorite male soul singer of them all Marvin Gaye solo and with Tammy Terrill. Radio stations in Philly? WFIL (Joe Niagra) and WIBG (Hi Lit); Anyone remember Jerry Blavit - "The geeter with the heeter"
True Confessions of a Soul Man
There seems to alot of interest in classical,jazz,and rock music. But are there any aging boomers that remember 60s soul music, a staple of AM radio that rivaled the british invasion?? My favorites were Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Supremes, Four Tops, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin. There were all types of sounds. I hope there are some experts out there that can identify each type the Memphis sound, The Philly sound (right Trelja?),etc. Opinions, favorite groups or songs, histories, etc.
