  • You are on stage, behind the curtain amongst the horn section with Vincent Montana, Jr. & the MFSB Orchestra waiting to perform "Love Is The Message / T.S.O.P.". You can even hear one of the musicians singing the melody of "T.S.O.P." and another saying "Any Time Now!!" along with the claps of anticipation from the audience. Finally Montana counts off the tempo; the curtain opens and his arrangement which blends "Love Is The Message" into "T.S.O.P (The Sound of Philadelphia)" begins. Some of the main MFSB Members you'll see here: Earl Young (drums), Bobby Eli (guitar), Ronnie Baker (bass), Larry Washington (congas) Nick D'Amico (orchestra bells / percussion) and Montana in his element conducting.
    May 10, 1987 -- Penn Hall Civic Center, Philadelphia
    "Linda Creed Memorial Scholarship Fund" Concert
    Vincent Montana, Jr. Conducts The MFSB Orchestra
    "Love Is The Message / T.S.O.P." (The Show)
    Video #9 of 16 of the Series.
    Linda Creed was a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter who teamed up with Thom Bell to produce some of the most successful Philadelphia soul groups of the 70s. Some of her songwriting highlights: "You Are Everything", "Betcha by Golly, Wow" & "You Make Me Feel Brand New" (Stylistics), "Rubberband Man" & "Ghetto Child" (Spinners) and "The Greatest Love Of All" (George Benson / Whitney Houston), to name a few. Creed's battle with breast cancer ended on April 10, 1986 when she was just 37 years old.
    Just one year later, on May 10th, 1987 Vincent Montana, Jr. conducted and /or performed with the MFSB Orchestra at "The Linda Creed Memorial Scholarship Fund" Concert. Artists performing (mostly) Creed's songs that night included Whitney Houston, George Benson, The Spinners, Jean Carne & Teddy Pendergrass.
    The series is dedicated to and in loving memory of Linda Creed.

    About Us:
    Among the numerous credits to his name, Vincent Montana, Jr. is most recognized for his integral role in both the development of "The Philadelphia Sound" as key MFSB rhythm section member and established studio musician for Philadelphia International Records as well as dance pioneer of the "Disco Era" as the creative and driving force behind the legendary Salsoul Orchestra. Further contributions include his remarkable productions with The Montana Orchestra and Goody Goody (Atlantic Records) and particularly, the signature club classics on his own Philly Sound Works label.
    Today Montana continues to make his mark on the industry, whether directly through his latest productions on Philly Sound Works and his efforts with today's most prominent artists and producers such as Masters At Work, The Braxtons, Joceyln Brown, Pet Shop Boys, David Morales, Dimtri From Paris, or indirectly via sampling of his catalogue: Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) or most recently Mariah Carey "O.O.C. (Out of Control)" to name a few.

      When you listen to MFSB & Sal Soul Orchestra you realise that there was so much talent on in the music scene that has has disappeared from the world. This were the amazing big bands of soul music that give both the world and people with joy and happiness. From the first world countries to the developing world the respond was common and the same and people responded positively to the music. Even today when you talk about MFSB & Sal Soul Orchestra the people will tell you what was life about how much the enjoy they life. During the period of the great Kenny , Leon ,Thom and Vincent there was no pain and sorrow only love and happiness was two dominant in people's life.

    TSOP was my theme song while I was a disco dj from 1975-93. What wonderful music was performed over the years. We met briefly in NYC at the Disco Convention in 1979, I believe. You were a gentleman and a terrific person I got to meet. Thanks Vince!

    Would have LOVED to see/hear this live in New York, either Central or Prospect Park. New Yorkers would have lost their minds! Spent a LOT of $$$ on Philly International and Salsoul/Gold Mind labels back in the day, even more fun spinning those hits! I STILL have my original double vinyl Philadelphia Classics from late '77. I wish Kenny & Leon would launch a channel on Sirius/XM for the Philly Sound. SIGMA SOUND STUDIOS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MUSEUM!!! Philadelphia, how could tear down such an historic location!!!

I never conducted an orchestra in my life and can do just as good of a conduction with my hands tied behind my back ,blindfolded,having finished 11 revolution with my head down on a baseball bat to get dizzy as if the mixed spirits weren't enough you know when its backyard fun and games ,my conducting skills would be over achieved in comparison to Mr. Montana's ,I'm not one to lie so certain conditions I add must apply , an orchestra having the talented members of the one and only , second to none Mother Father Sister Brother, truely a state of the art in laid back music listening. With killers let loose, some on their own on the loose and one last still on the loose continuing to shake up a miserable world A gained respect killer Coronavirus aka Covid-19 now called by the miserable world finally or is too late to show respect nevertheless your copying skills I insist you add music that of MFSB they uses strings aka violins with perfection unseen and unheard in this video take my word ,again I'm not one to lie even you will do better than Vinny.
