This week, I'm taking a trip down to Philly with some warm and fuzzy soul tracks. If there's one kind of soul I like even more than Motown, its The Sound of Philadelphia.

The slick, classically inspired arrangements of Philadelphia soul were the gateway to disco, as it began to come into focus during the 1970s. And what a heartwarming prelude! Philly Soul took the romance and slick arrangements of deep soul, and feathered it up into a brand new sound; easy, breezy, groovy & oh so smooth.

The urban appeal of Philly Soul is my favorite part. I can just imagine myself sitting in an old-fashioned restaurant with a cheese steak in hand and a nice cold Dr.Pepper; the Delfonics playing in the background. This is the type of soul that makes your troubles just float away; and I've got more than just a little admiration for its class and style.

So I've got a few Philly Soul tracks to share. They just might paint a smile across your face and brighten up your day.

Spoiler for 8 tracks of Philly Soul:
