T.S.O.P. - The Sound Of Philadelphia - Genos2 Cover

[MichaelW1960]

Hello to all.

It's been a while I didn't post anything here, since the old PSRTutorial Forum was shutted down. I'm glad that this great site is up again - Congrats to all administrators.

I'm so old, I even know music from before the disco era. For my new post here, I choose one of my latest recordings on my small youtube channel.

Long before the disco era, around 1971, the "Philly Sound" emerged in Philadelphia's Sigma Sound Studios with a uniform sound stereotype. This is short for Philadelphia Sound, also known as "Philadelphia Soul." One of the songs created at that time was called "T.S.O.P. - The Sound of Philadelphia."

In the version by the "Salsoul Orchestra" - founded in New York in 1974 - the song became very popular and, so to speak, one of the midwives of the disco wave.

Here I tried to play the thing on the Yamaha Genos2 keyboard. Hope You enjoy it.

Well played, Michael! Not my jam, per se (slightly different generation) but you made it bop! And you can totally hear the kind of music that inspired Bill Conti's Rocky soundtracks!
