Comment:

When it comes to choosing a song to make their own, your favorite artists choose the sounds of Philadelphia. In the most bizarre of musical ironies, even [i]Motown[/i] turned eastward for musical inspiration. Hot on the heels of [i]Let's Get It On[/i], Marvin Gaye's pairing with Diana Ross on the cover of the Stylistics' "You Are Everything" pushes him into a zone of his own, with maybe his best pure vocal [i]ever[/i]. Hitsville's Thelma Houston scored her first #1 hit (and the Best R&B Female Vocal GRAMMY®) with the four-on-the-floor disco-diva delight of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes' "Don't Leave Me This Way," and a stripped down, new wave-meets-blue-eyed-soul take on yet [i]another[/i] Blue Notes masterpiece, the aching "If You Don't Know Me By Now," earned Simply Red the GRAMMY® for Best R&B Song. Meanwhile, Tierra delivers the all-time late-night dedication song, "Together," sneaking in a quick quote from yet a [i]second[/i] Intruders cut, the cotton-candy classic "Cowboys To Girls," near the end. From Elvis Presley to Michael Bublé, from jazz to zydeco, Philly Soul shows up in all the right places. We've cherry-picked the best of the best, and put them right at your fingertips.
