Album Notes

Now That's The Philly Sound!

Vincent Montana, Jr. is known for his integral role in both the development of 'The Philadelphia Sound' as key MFSB rhythm section member and 'house band' studio musician for Philadelphia International Records as well as dance pioneer of the 'Disco Era' as the creative and driving force behind The Salsoul Orchestra.

Philly Ear Kandy features such exceptional artists as Ronnie Walker - the talented singer/songwriter who initiated the 'Philly Falsetto' a prevalent sound in Philadelphia-produced music; Dave Morris - who delivers the strong moral message of 'Gettin' Together' with his commanding and passionate vocal; The Girls (Brown Sugar) - four lovely ladies with angelic-like voices who put their heart and soul into their performance; Cecil Parker - a truly gifted singer/songwriter shares his classic sound on these soulful Philly ballads; and daughter, Denise Montana, (Goody Goody) known for her club hits "#1 Dee Jay and It Looks Like Love" treats us to her slightly jazzier side.

Philly Ear Kandy takes us back to Montana's 'Philly Soul' days with 'The Original Philadelphia Rhythm Section' which includes many of his session mates from both the MFSB and The Salsoul Orchestra. In an industry where music is transitory, Philly Soul has survived the test of time. These songs remain classic in the truest sense and will be enjoyed for generations to come. This is real Philly Ear Kandy for the soul!
