MFSB (Mother Father Sister Brother) was the collective name given to the group of studio musicians and backing singers who provided the backing for all the Philadelphia International recordings. They also issued albums and singles under their own name, TSOP (The Sound Of Philadelphia) reaching # 1 and also being used as the theme music for the legendary US TV show Soul Train.

User Reviews

The two classic albums reissued on this CD are from 1975 and 1976. While they didn't exactly set the world on fire, they DID leave the listener with no doubt as to just how talented the musicians that made up MFSB were and that they could tackle everything from Disco to Funk to Soul to MOR-Pop with grace, class and musical virtuosity. It's definitely great to have these classics on CD (with excellent sound quality) as these albums capture the magic of the Philadelphia Soul sound at a time when it had truly reached its apex. Enjoy! -- MFSB's 1975 and 1976 masterpieces now on CD.
