50 Best Philadelphia International Songs

Click to copy
Fifty years ago, a new label started by two esteemed hitmakers turned the corner on the crossover soul-pop of Motown and gritty Southern R&B of Stax/Volt, which had defined the sound of Black America in the '60s. The new label offered a new style for a new decade, from a new geographical hub of elite writers, producers, singers, arrangers and session players. The Sound of Philadelphia was promised, and for the next 10 years and beyond, the Sound of Philadelphia was delivered.
Philadelphia International Records, founded by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, was formed in 1971 from the ashes of Neptune Records, with a number of up-and-coming R&B artists based out of the City of Brotherly Love. Gamble and Huff had found success in the late '60s helming hits for local acts like the Soul Survivors ("Expressway to Your Heart") and The Intruders ("Cowboys to Girls"), as well as for national stars like Jerry Butler ("Only the Strong Survive") and Wilson Pickett ("Engine No. 9"), proving themselves -- along with go-to like arrangers Thom Bell, Bobby Martin and Norman Harris -- as the preeminent sonic architects of Philly soul.

Colorlines Favorites of 2020: D-Nice Should Be DJ of the Year

Colorlines Favorites of 2020: D-Nice Is The DJ of the Year (Maybe Even the Century)
The Colorlines team is sharing our favorite shows, books, hashtags, movies and more of 2020. Here, arts and culture writer N. Jamiyla Chisholm reflects on the DJ who kicked off a new decade by giving us a much-needed vibe during the COVID pandemic.

For years, in the pre-COVID era, the 1983 Indeep song “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” had always felt like a mantra. In March, as the coronavirus crisis began and states started to lockdown, many of us replaced the joy of commuting to work with physical stagnation, a mild sense of disconnect and boredom. Then on March 17, out of nowhere, DJ D-Nice opened the after-work, at-home dance party known as “Club Quarantine,” on his Instagram Live page.
