MFSB's 'Love is the Message' - the soul of Black folks
Consequence looks back into Philadelphia International Records, the staple of 1970s soul music and its house band (Mother Father Sister Brother), a cadre of more than thirty musicians who would record hits for PIR. Two of their biggest early hits were 'T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia)' and 'Love Is The Message'. Consequence looks into the influence of those two songs, their creators and the band's second album.
