And, when it comes to sultry pounds upon his recent commercial success. "'They Only Come Out At Night' was sounds, heartbeat tempos and dynamic performances, First Choice has to be con- flatly a commercial attempt, and it worked. It was different than anything I'd done sidered a number one performing trio. Lead singer Rochelle has a full lusty sound before. I started out heavily influenced by Cannonball Adderly and John Coltrane, and which is beautifully supported by Annette and Joyce. Their recording performances recorded 'Entrance,' which is still my favorite album. It was too weird for people and are works of art; all on Philly Groove Records. Georgie Woods (WDAS, Philadelphia), didn't sell. Next came White Trash (which featured Jerry LaCroix on vocals and Rick brought the group to the attention of producer Stan Watson, Philly Groove president Derringer on guitar) who were into Texas R&B funky stuff. I wanted to expand and and co -producer with Norman Harris. The gals worked the local clubs to get their they didn't, so I left." Although "Roadwork," released in 1972, was a fairly big seller thing together. They had one release on Scepter, "The House Where Love Died." for Edgar and the band, when Winter departed, he was in debt. But, it was with the smash single, "Armed And Extremely Dangerous" which served "The thing was," continues Edgar, his eyes darting from side to side, "I was turned as the springboard to national acclaim.

  • A Conversation with the Architects of the Philly Sound, Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff Scott Paton
    Unedited version of Goldmine cover story, Issue #737, Oct. 28, 2008 A conversation with the architects of the Philly Sound, Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff Scott Paton A step into the lobby at 309 S. Broadway in Philadelphia is a step back into time. The gilded, gated doors close as the elevator operator punches the button for the second floor. Moments later, the pulleys and cable come to a stop, and the doors open on to a lobby and offices that seem frozen in time, some 30-odd years ago. To the casual observer, a professional makeover might be in order. But to a fan of early-‘60s pop or ‘70s soul music, the surroundings are resplendent in their untouched glory, a virtual shrine to two creative, indelible eras in recorded history. The home of Cameo-Parkway Records from 1956 to 1967, this building drew aspiring songwriters, from near and far, hoping to pitch their tunes to the likes of Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell and the Orlons. Among those young hopefuls were poet/lyricist Kenneth Gamble and keyboardist extraordinaire Leon Huff, and while their early attempts to “storm the castle” were often thwarted, they ultimately ascended to become the preeminent writer/producers on the local scene, and the most important force in R&B/Soul music since the heyday of Motown Records. In 1972, they purchased the building for their own enterprise, Philadelphia International Records. As architects of “the Philly Sound”, Gamble & Huff crafted sophisticated funk classics for the O’Jays, Harold Melvin & the Blues, Teddy Pendergrass, the Intruders, Lou Rawls and others that ushered in the Disco Era, setting a standard for dance- friendly, yet lyrical songcraft, that remains unmatched.

  • A PDF Version of the Ebonys
    THE EBONYS www.TheEbonys.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6O4HbPH3F98neiQdQsVnlg www.facebook.com/TheOringinalEbonys THE EBONYS a 70’s group that brought the soulful Philadelphia sounds to a nation. The original Ebonys auditioned for Philadelphia International Records and was later signed to a recording contract. The Ebonys went on to release two albums, one of which reached the top of the pop charts. In 1995 Sony Records along with Collectable Records released a CD titled “ It’s Forever” in the United States and Japan. In 1996 Platinum Classic Records released the ‘Grove Me’ CD also featuring “It’s Forever”. WDAS Radio Station of Philadelphia recently released a CD titled ‘WDAS Classic Love Songs’ and once again the hit song “It’s Forever” was featured. Currently, these CD’s are being played on radio stations across the country and abroad. David Beasley, one of the former lead singers of the original Ebonys, was born and raised in Camden, NJ and has been making music all his life. In July of 1997 The Ebonys were reborn and included four incredible vocalists, David Beasley, William “Smoke” Howard, Nate Cephas, and Toni Calloway. A fifth vocalist, the late McKensey Crawford, joined The Ebonys as background singer to enhance their harmony. David retired from The Ebonys group in 2001 and McKensey Crawford became the lead 1st tenor and retired in Jan. 2012 and was replaced with veteran 1st tenor, Ken Chaney. Our female vocalist, Lorna Dixon retired in 2013 and Geneva “Neva” Wilkes became our only female vocalist. Nate Cephas retired in 2015 and Ray Keniebrew, our newest member singing 2nd Tenor.
