And Gamble/Huff & Philly International, towards the end, didn't help. They also went uptempo/danceable while ripping the heart out of it. I grew up in Philly and consider the prime Philly soul to be the earlier stuff before it became over-commercialized. I listened to to old tome black owned am soul stations (WDAS and WHAT).
One could feel the soul music being disco-ized right in front of their eyes and ears. A sad state of affairs.
