Description

On the fourth and final episode of The Story of Philadelphia International Records, we’ll explore the fascinating passion projects that defined the late 1970s for PIR. This episode will cover the story of 1977’s Let’s Clean Up the Ghetto by The Philadelphia International All-Stars — a supergroup featuring Billy Paul, Archie Bell, Teddy Pendergrass, The Three Degrees and more — and Leon Huff’s own 1980 solo album, Here to Create Music. We’ll hear from Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, PIR vocal trio The Jones Girls member, Shirley Jones, and Mark Anthony Neal, the James B. Duke professor of African American Studies at Duke University.  This season of the VMP Anthology Podcast is hosted by John Morrison. It’s written by John Myers and Alex Lewis, with help from John Morrison. It was produced by Alex Lewis and John Myers of Rowhome Productions, and executive produced by Amileah Sutliff. A special thanks to the people at Sony Music and Philadelphia International Records.
