    My Music of Philly blog on some of my favorite Philly-related recordings from 1968-70 is now online. It features songs by Archie Bell & the Drells, the Intrigues, Dusty Springfield, the Festivals and Odds & Ends. I hope you will check it out. What are some of your favorite Philly tracks from that time period?

    On my blog, I had left off at the Ebony's in 1971 and then back-tracked to look at 26 of my favorites prior to that time period [[1957-1970). My next blog will be on the O'Jays' Back Stabbers album from 1972.

    Be well. Stay safe. Jim

    Yes, please keep it going. I just went through it again and couldn't stop till I got to the bottom. I was wondering if you did a blog covering the Ojays first album on Neptune, "In Philadelphia."

    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 get through than I had originally planned [[life happened).

    Be well.

    Jim.

    One of my favorites from that period was "One Night Affair" by the O'Jays. Loved that record.

    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.

    That album is sometimes left out of the picture when discussing the group. They skip by it and go to the Back Stabbers album. I like all of the songs on the album with the exception of Something and Little Green Apples. They are not bad but seem out of place on this album.

    A UK group who did minor gigs in their own right BUT who also backed up visiting US soul acts on their late 1960's UK tours. ... here they do a gig in their own right at a top UK soul club back in summer 68. As the ad says; they had just been contracted to be the backing band on the Showstoppers [[then) upcoming UK tour ...
    for some reason [[were they in the studio in Philly or doing US promo gigs) the tour slipped back from having a mid October start date to an early November start date ... they stayed in the UK for around a month ..
