It was reported today that Philly songwriting legend Bruce Hawes has passed. He co-wrote many classic songs, including the Spinners' hits "Mighty Love", "Sadie" and "Games People Play". My own...
Jay, that was my first thought when I read all of the PIR albums would be released in the box sets.
Looking forward to the Philadelphia International album CD box sets. Hoping we get a set of unreleased PIR recordings and... someday... non-PIR Gamble & Huff collections [[early Intruders...
My CFOM5 arrived today. Thank you Paul. Like the other volumes, I love it. I just sent an email to Caroline. Keep ‘em coming.

Hi. I strongly agree with Bill that Sequel's CD The Best Of New York City which includes all 21 Thom Bell produced tracks is your best bet if you can find a copy. My favorite New York City track by...
I shared the link to “This Too Shall Pass” earlier in this thread but no one would play it. It is my favorite Phyllis Hyman track. Happy to hear that you love it too, Carlo.

This is my favorite Phyllis Hyman track. Its sentiments apply well to what is going on in the world with the virus, especially in the US. I so wish the words of this song had been enough to keep...
Solomon Burke is one of my all-time favorite singers. He was larger than life in many ways.
It was Troy Gentry of the country music duo Montgomery - Gentry. Troy died in a helicopter crash.

Would LOVE to see the You Got The Power: Cameo Parkway Northern Soul 1964-1967 set available on CD someday. 16 of the 20 tracks were not on the Cameo-Parkway box set - one of those being among very...
Hi Midnightman.
I said maybe they aren't realistic. I pray every day of my life for peace and I appreciate your positive belief.
This piece highlights the groundbreaking Backstabbers album and the O'Jays musical history leading up to it.
Maybe it is not realistic, but I wish everyone in the world right now could adopt the...
I remember when Jermaine Jackson said he was going to be playing Marvin in a movie - over 30 years ago!
As Marv wrote earlier, Marvin Junior followed by Teddy Pendergrass.
Teddy referred to Marvin as “my musical Dad”
My musical brothers would be Teddy and David Ebo who replaced him in the Blue...

I wish they could have included tracks by the Intrigues and Odds & Ends. It is really nice to see the Dee Sharp single included. Maybe Ace will do a volume two on Thom Bell someday.
Be well.

As I work on the O'Jays' blog, I have been playing the In Philadelphia album that contains "One Night Affair" A LOT.
Be well.
Jim.
Hi Mr. June.
I did not touch on the O'Jays in Philadelphia yet because I knew I would be discussing the O'Jays in depth after I finished the five Philly Roots entries which took me a lot longer to...
