Part of Time Life's extensive Sweet Soul of the '70s series, The Sound of Philadelphia provides a two-disc overview of Philly soul, with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff's Philadelphia International rightly given much of the spotlight. This is a solid introduction for neophytes, including many classics from the decade: Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "Wake Up Everybody" (featuring Teddy Pendergrass), the Spinners' "I'll Be Around," Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones," Eddie Kendricks' "He's a Friend," and Lou Rawls' "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine."
