Philly soul classics | A wave of sweet soul music arrives

Philadelphia, a city located in southeastern Pennsylvania.

It’s known as a city that’s indispensable when talking about soul music.

The genre known as Philly soul, which was born in Philadelphia in the 1970s, gained popularity with its sweet sound that hadn’t existed in soul music up to that point.

This time, I’d like to introduce some classic tracks of Philly soul.

Philly soul is a genre that laid the foundation for today’s R&B.

It’s also extremely important for understanding Black music, so please relax and enjoy it to the end.
