MFSB, The Gamble-Huff Orchestra

The house band for Philadelphia International Records stepped out of their supporting roles to lead this project. They provided the instrumental foundation for many soul hits before defining their own orchestral disco sound.

Gamble and Huff produced these tracks with a focus on sophisticated, polished energy. The arrangements feature sweeping strings and precise percussion that turn the studio into a dance floor environment. It radiates the specific character of late-seventies Philly soul.
