    this is the Philadelphia sound of the 1970's. the record label, Philadelphia International Records, was headed by mega-producers (and alumni of my high school West Philadelphia High school) Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff created a distinct sound of their own that was sought after by many artists including the Jacksons. the "Philly sound" was big in the 70's.

    Smilin Faces I believe was By Undisputed Truth. Aside from the hand drums, usually congas, the beat is created on drum set, with the stick laying across the snare drum playing the rim, which is often called ‘cross stick’. On this groove you play it on every beat. Sometimes it would be played on the actual snare, on every beat. The title cut of Superfly soundtrack uses that beat, as well as I’m Your Pusher Man.

    This was covered by solo neo soul artist, Angie Stone. I think jeers only used the intro through the whole song. Nice recognition to some of Curtis Mayfield’s music, as the groove where something is hittin on every beat like Curtis’ Tunes Superfly, & I’m Your Pusher Man.

    Fact Gamble and Huff who wrote produce the Ojays, Teddy Pendergrass, along with many other groups are the most forgotten about and under appreciated producing teams. They should be mention alone with Quincy Jones as the best ever. For the Love on Money productions was so ahead of its time it still sounds fresh today.

I was washing dishes, expecting my fiancé to be home any minute and this guy felt me up from behind. I told Danny that I didn't want Jeff at the apartment when Danny wasn't there. (I never told him what happened, as not to cause a riff).
