Various Artists - The Sound of Philadelphia: Gamble & Huff's Greatest Hits (2008)

That Philly Soul sound lives on forever in this amazing compilation featuring Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff's sparkling and crisp production aesthetic. 

I grew up on Gamble and Huff and these artists in particular; listening to WDAS 105.3 FM was the soul of Philly for my childhood and it instilled a deep appreciation for these tunes.

Give it a spin!
