Mica Paris - The Sound Of Philadelphia

Mica Paris celebrates the Philadelphia sound with classic soul grooves. Including Billy Paul, The O'Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, Elton John, Patti LaBelle and MFSB.

Mica Paris travels back in time to the 1970's to rediscover a land of disco grooves, driving rhythms and lavish orchestrations as she celebrates the Philadelphia sound with 2 hours of classic soul anthems. Including Billy Paul, The O'Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, Elton John, The Three Degrees, Patti LaBelle and MFSB. Philadelphia International Records was founded in 1971 by the songwriting team of Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff along with producer Thom Bell. Over the next decade they would re-define soul with a long list of worldwide hits that have lost none of their appeal over the 4 decades that have passed since their original release. These include If You Don't Know Me By Now, Me & Mrs Jones, Love Train, For The Love Of Money, When Will I See You Again, You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine and Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now - the true sound of Sweet Philly Soul!
