A MUST HAVE


Greetings, it's been a little while and I just wanted to let you all know that things are fine. I have been going through some Cancer (the sign) issues, ya know moody, irritable without cause, annoyed, sensitive etc. Things are good though just been emotional. Either way today I don't have a true blog, but I do have something that I want to share. Yesterday one of my coworkers received Love Train: The Sound of Philadelphia. This may be by far one of the best Soul collections that I've seen so far (still waiting for the Motown 50).

I'm an old soul so this one touched me deep. I remember listening to most if not all of the songs while growing up. I was a WBLS, Hal Jackson Sunday classics kid. Dancing with my mom in the living room while cleaning kid. LOL.

I don't get paid to promote music so you know that I must be feeling it. It's a four disc collection of some of the best that Philly has to offer. A rich mix of melodies, vibes, soul and pure goodness. There are some old favs from the OJays, Teddy P, Harry Melvin, TSOP, etc etc. Gamble and Huff definitely were masters at their craft. So if you know any music buffs I suggest you definitely cop that.
