Album Notes & Community Reviews

This collection draws on the group's Philadelphia International years, when Gamble and Huff's orchestral soul productions framed Teddy Pendergrass's baritone lead. Alongside the love ballads sit the socially conscious singles that made the group a bridge between soul and early disco.
