- Biography by Ron Wynn: Session pianist Leon Huff became half of a seminal R&B songwriting and production team when he teamed with Kenny Gamble in 1965. Huff played on sessions for Phil Spector, the Ronettes, and Carole King in New York City before moving to Philadelphia. He formed the Locomotions, and did sessions for Cameo and Swan. Huff performed on the song "The 81," which was co-written by Kenny Gamble, who was at the session seeing the tune being recorded by Candy & the Kisses. Huff earned his first hit as a composer writing "Mixed-Up Shook-Up Girl" for Patty & the Emblems in 1964. He joined the Romeos the next year, then teamed with Gamble to form Gamble Records. They subsequently co-wrote and co-produced songs for the Soul Survivors, the O'Jays, and others before forming Philadelphia International Records in the early '70s. Their use of strings, the sophisticated yet soulful sound, and careful mix of socially conscious and romantic tunes provided hits for the O'Jays, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Teddy Pendergrass, MFSB, the Intruders, and others. Huff also wrote hits on his own for the Ebonys, People's Choice, Carolyn Crawford, and Bunny Sigler. He issued two singles as a solo artist on Philadelphia International in 1980 and 1981, with "I Ain't Jivin', I'm Jammin" getting some moderate recognition. A mystery remains as to why the label collapsed in the '80s.

I played recording session on b3 with Leon Huff producing and playing the piano, this cat is a monster on the piano,
The first time I had the bassline 😮It blew me away and it still does. Never have I ever..
nice song
WOW!!!!!!!! I remember we used to hear this song EVERY morning in the summer of 1980 when my brother an I would be getting dressed for Day Camp! LOL. We used to hear the version that had words.
What an INSANE good Funk... Groov'n, moov'n, you know just doin' it man... SUPERBE, TIMELESS...😄👍
What a classic! This album really created music! I heard it countless times and million more times to go just EPIC! Genius!!!!
I love the Jones Girls in this. Quiet Storm format, yet late night club cha-cha.
this is so peaceful and present
this is my chill song
The label didnt collapse. It folded creatively because all the hit makers were burnt out, moved on or died.
From about 1969 to 1985 they were burning it up. But music styles change and it takes newer younger musicians to keep your roster fresh. In the 1980s in Philly, hiphop and rap was taking hold. PIR had no relationship with young guys to get a foothold in hiphop and the independent label scene was huge in Philly to get that burgeoning talent.
Bal Zhiñamauf man this is history right here boy 79 hip hop had its first rap record made and boom that’s the bidness
Here’s Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff’s attempt at hip hop albeit in the 1990’s… excellently phenomenal underrated album from my viewpoint
