billb Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Phyllis Hyman - Ain't you had enough love Silk - I can't stop (turning you on) Jones Girls - Nights over Egypt
Daved Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Blimey. There's a question. Changes all the time but these have got to be up there. The O'Jays "My Favourite Person" Jean Carne "Was That All It Was" Teddy Pendergrass "When Somebody Loves You Back" Bill Paul "Bring The Family Back" (still a stone cold classic!) Harold Melvin & Bluenotes "Bad Luck"
Guest Darks Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Yesterday I had the blues I miss you If you don't know me by know - Harold Melvin & Bluenotes Days go by - Bobby Bennett Regina I lied - Bunny Sigler Can't quit your love- Bobby Taylor Forever- The Ebonies Now that we've found love - O'jays I like being a woman - Three Degrees - mainly because they did it live on the "Wheel tappers and shunters" TV show back in the day and the title makes me laugh. The list is goes on and on but if I were to pick a favourite it would be "Somebody told me" Teddy Pendegass. Regards Alan
Guest toby Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 The Ebonys "Im so glad im me / Do you like the way i love" # ZS7 3514 . The best double sider you can get on Philly Int (imo)
Kjw Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Teddy Pendergrass - The More I get The More I Want Anthony White - Hey Baby Dexter Wansel - The Sweetest Pain
steve Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Party time man - The Futures The love I lost - Harold Melvin
Garswood Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Three of my faves ...... Jean Carn - Was That All It Was Lou Rawls - See You When I Git There Billy Paul - Only The Strong Survive Phil three great tracks there, i,d also add.............INTRUDERS-NICE GIRL LIKE YOU O'JAYS-I LOVE MUSIC
Joyandpain Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 ANTHONY WHITE -YES YOU NEED LOVE BUNNY SIGLER-KEEP SMILIN HAROLD MELVIN-WHERE ARE ALL MY FRIENDS TEDDY P- WHOLE TOWN LAUGHING ARCHIE BELL-REAL GOOD FEELIN
Theresa Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 "The Love I Lost" has got to be the all-time Philly corker, but the Intruders' "(Win, Place or Show) She's A Winner" always makes me smile, and I love all the Jean Carns mentioned above, plus "I Bet She Won't Love You Like I Do". And Webby, my favourite pasta shape is penne. You've got to give a passing nod to the classic spaghetti, but it just hasn't got the sauce-holding qualities of those lovely little tubes
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 The Three Degrees - "I Didn't Know". Never gets old for me... ...of the label's many hits, I'd have to go for "Love Train" every time.
kevinsoulman Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 the first time i heard the ebony's forever it blew me away and its still my favourite now kev
Cover-up Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Can't believe no-one's mentioned McFadden & Whitehead "Ain't No Stopping Us Now". Well I can - it's super cheesy, but a big favourite of mine...
grantdyche Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Released on the Sound of Philadelphia label circa 79-80, More jazz/funk to my ears than a Northern Soul tune,but it's a good tune any way I think MFSB Grant
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I would say for me McFadden and Whitehead - Ain't No Stopping Us Now followed by Lou Rawls - See You When i Get There and The O'Jays - Love Train
Guest Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) I would say for me McFadden and Whitehead - Ain't No Stopping Us Now followed by Lou Rawls - See You When i Get There and The O'Jays - Love Train I have a great affection for Jean Carn " Was That All It Was " Evocative of an era ....... Malc Burton Edited June 19, 2009 by Malc Burton
Joe Tex Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Teddy P- I don't love you anymore been playing this for a while now.
Geeselad Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 God this is hard, so many, gotta be my fav label, here go's Billy Paul - Only the strong....... Lou Rawls - See you when I git there O jays- I love music Just 3 for now.
kevinsoulman Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 jerry butler whats the use of breaking up / a brand new me on mercury, produced by gamble and huff ,written by gamble bell and butler, arranged by martin and bell, pure class from 1969, was this the start of the pir sound? still cheap too for two great sides kev
Guest Matt Male Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 So many great Jean Carn tracks... in addition to those mentioned there's also 'My Love Don't Come Easy' Surprised no one's mentioned Philly Allstars - Let's Clean Up The Ghetto But my favourite is Dee Dee Sharp Gamble - Touch My Life (why this isn't played out more i'll never know)
Guest Polyvelts Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Always room for one more - McFadden and Whitehead but best imo Hey Baby !!!
Guest Matt Male Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 l did,mate! Post 22 Sorry mate, i blame the new board. Nightmare.
Sjclement Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 lets make love Jerry Butler a sleeper if ever there was one !
Guest Polyvelts Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 We've had that,mate, post 25,l'd blame the board!But great choon!! Sorry I meant "Always room for one more" by McFadden and Whitehead.
Kev Cane Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 So many great Jean Carn tracks... in addition to those mentioned there's also 'My Love Don't Come Easy' Surprised no one's mentioned Philly Allstars - Let's Clean Up The Ghetto But my favourite is Dee Dee Sharp Gamble - Touch My Life (why this isn't played out more i'll never know) Yes Matt, Touch my life is fantastic but the flip gives it a run for its money, "Happy bout the whole thing" absolutely superb, I remember when it was a brand new release, great label, some others Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes-I miss you (full version) " " " " - Be for real ( full version) " " " " -Concentrate on me Bunny Sigler-Keep smilin Anthony White-I could never repay your love O,jays-Darlin darlin baby Teddy Pendergrass-Whole towns laughing at me/ And if I had Theres loads more such was the quantity and quality of the labels ( Phil Int and T.S.O,P,) Kev
Guest Ollie Lailey Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 For me its got to be - 1.Harold Melvin And The Bluenotes - Bad luck 2.Ojays - I love Music 3.MFSB - Lets Clean Up The Ghetto all awesome!
Garethx Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 So many classics: maybe too many to list exhaustively. I'll nail my colours to the mast and re-iterate a point I've made ad-nauseum on here that The O'Jays "I Love Music" is simply one of the greatest and most influential pieces of commercial black music ever made. Last year I was fortunate enough to acquire Tom Moulton's remix from 1979 and can't recommend it highly enough. Mention elsewhere of the Anthony White album prompted me to dig out my copy and play the organ-drenched slowie "Love Grows Strong". It made me think that he didn't record enough out-and-out ballads in his career as on this he gives Teddy P, Eddie Levert (or Marvin Junior for that matter) a run for their money. The quasi-gospel breakdown and ad-libbing on the fadeout are truly beautiful.
grantdyche Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Harold Melvin "Don't leave me this way" Teddy Pendergrass "Love Tko" and "The Whole Town's Laughing At Me"
Chris Anderton Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Just about my fave label...i dont collect labels but if i did Phily int would be the one I`d collect... All a matter of opinion but for me these are some of the best soul records ever...never mind the best on philly int. Teddy Pendergrass- The more i get the more i want Lou Rawls-You`ll never find Jones girls-NIghts over Egypt jean Carne-My love dont come easy Chris
grantdyche Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Really can't understand as to why they played Thelma AT Wigan but not Harold cos to me that was the best version! IMO! The extended(12") of Don't leave me" is unbeatable the instrumental break is awesome,and the vocals,well say no more, Remember the first time I heard Thelma at Wigan,I was a bit confused to say the least,but it's ok really,And yes I danced to it,On the second play about 45 minutes later,Maybe longer but my grey matter aint what it used to be, Somebody mentioned The Jones Girls "Nights Over Egypt",I still play this in the car now a cool track Grant
Guest Brett F Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Plus "East" by Billy Paul all 6 minutes 46 seconds of it.
Guest Brett F Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Have the LP too and prefer that take( longer) , but havent done a scan of that. Brett F
Keamus Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Two that do it for me are Dee Dee Sharp- Touch my life and The O'Jays great take on Jackie Moore's -This time baby
StuH Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 At the moment can't stop playing: Teddy Pendergrass- I just called to say. StuH
Jock B Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 TEDDY PENDERGRASS THE WHOLE TOWN'S LAUGHING AT ME HAROLD MELVIN & THE BLUE NOTES TELL THE WORLD HOW I FEEL ABOUT 'CHA TEDDY PENDERGRASS CLOSE THE DOOR JEAN CARNE IF YOU WANNA GO BACK JEAN CARNE THAT WAS ALL IT WAS To name a few

oldsteve woomble Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Massive question!! How about posing something a tad easier to answer like "how do we secure lasting peace in the middle east" Reminds me of Wakefield CSC a few weeks back, managed to spin a "PIR classics" dominated set and enjoyed every minute!...... 3 off the top of my list.....Jean Carn absolutely phenomenal.... https://www.youtube.c...h?v=LyNsgH9MNF4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3id3DTIoOqU Edited June 21, 2009 by steve woomble
Ernie Andrews Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Some of my favs: Stop & Think- The Trammps Peoples Choice - Jam jam jam (All night long) O,Jays - Let life flow Harold melvin - Where are all my Freinds But the best for me has to be O,Jays I love music - Lp version
Geoff Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 This is almost impossible to pick favourites. Almost anything I've heard by Jean Carn, but will go for Jerry Butler's The Best Love I Ever Had.
Stubbsy Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Massive question!! How about posing something a tad easier to answer like "how do we secure lasting peace in the middle east" Reminds me of Wakefield CSC a few weeks back, managed to spin a "PIR classics" dominated set and enjoyed every minute!...... 3 off the top of my list.....Jean Carn absolutely phenomenal.... Wish I'd been there Steve, sure I would have enjoyed it too My favourite PIR probably Billy Paul "Only The Strong Survive" but so much brilliant stuff on that particular label
Gene-r Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 My personal PIR faves are: THE O'JAYS: Livin' For The Weekend HAROLD MELVIN: The Love I Lost THREE DEGREES: Year Of Decision
