VARIOUS - 70s Soul Sessions (2 CD)

Come the '70s, it was the city of brotherly love that provided the blueprint, in particular through the Philly based labels, Philly Groove and Philadelphia International, with their smooth, string laden disco-inflected sounds and velveteen soft vocal delivery leading the way. The 70s also saw the invention of the sensual soul loverman in the form of Isaac Hayes, Barry White and Al Green and the political agitator through Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield. What follows are some of the greatest, most beautiful soul tracks culled from the decade.
