THOSE SOULFUL PHILLY SOUNDS

"First of all, by all means anyone who has listened to soul music in the 1970's or from the 1970's will read the song list of any CD stating various Artists of Philadelphia (curiosity). In this Sony Special project are basic essentials, no surprises.
My only criticism is the choice of too many easy to find O'Jays and Harold Melvin cutts that are included here, truly basics. Another criticism is that the complilation should have included more Intruders song. The Intruders paved the way for the Philly sound and should be hailed in such regards. What's a philly compilation without 'Cowboys to Girls' and 'Together (How happy we'll be)' by the Intruders? It's a no no!"
