Album Notes

The Best Of Northern Soul contains 20 songs by some of Philadelphia's finest artists and groups that were part of the sound in the 60's known as Northern Soul. These artists and groups include Bunny Sigler, Len Barry, Cindy Scott, Joey Heatherton, Johnny Caswell, George Tindley, Grover Mitchell, The Tymes, The Formations, The Sherrys and The Sweet Three.

This one-of-a-kind CD is presented by songwriter/record producer, John Madara, through That Philly Sound, which is dedicated to the music that came out of Philadelphia during the 50's and 60's. John Madara, along with partner, Dave White, wrote and produced such timeless classics as AT THE HOP (Danny And The Juniors), THE FLY (Chubby Checker), YOU DON'T OWN ME (Leslie Gore) and 1-2-3 (Len Barry, who also co-wrote the song with Madara & White). These and countless other hits by Madara & White helped to create "The Sound Of Philadelphia."

This historical CD contains valuable information, when available, on the musicians who played on each song as well as the date the song was recorded and the studio where it was recorded. Two of the musicians were unknowns, Leon Huff and Daryl Hall, both discovered by John Madara, before they hooked up with Kenny Gamble and John Oates.

All songs have been digitally restored and digitally mastered.
