At thirty eight it's the joint creator of the Philly Sound of the seventies.
38 KENNY GAMBLE
Born 11th August 1943 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Kenny Gamble along with writing partner Leon Huff created the Philly sound of the 70's by writing many classic soul cuts on their own Philadelphia International label. By the end of the 70's Disco started to spell the end of their own brand of soul, and by the early 80's the hits dried up for them, the hip hop era brought a new breed of fan to their work with constant sampling.
