ABSTRACT
A department store record issued by the A.W. Gamage, Ltd. of London in 1924. Material was from Aco-Homochord; it was mostly dance music. [Rust 1978.]
American songwriter-producers Kenny Gamble (b. 11 Aug 1943-) and Leon Huff (b. 8 Apr 1942-) pioneered the Philly Sound, a precursor to disco, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly on their own label, Philadelphia International, for which they created hits by the O’Jays, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Teddy Pendergrass, the Three Degrees, and others. By the late 1970s, their style was in popular decline, but they had already scored dozens of major hits.
