MFSB Summertime Classic Soul Fun

The Gamble & Huff hit machine was riding high during the Summer of 1976.

Their house musicians: MFSB, mother - father - sister - brother, the instrumental magic behind the Philly sound, released a spirited album that year just in time for the lazy hazy days of Summer.

Best known for “Love is the Message,” and “TSOP,” (the sound of Philadelphia), MFSB’s Summertime included a cool collection of toe tapping treats topped with lots of breezy, airy, vocals.

Producers Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, Gene McFadden, John Whitehead, and several other Philly faithful whipped up these bouncy songs keyed perfectly together for the hot weather season.

Gamble & Huff wrote 4 of the 8 songs...

1. “Picnic In The Park”
2. “Summertime” (George Gershwin)
3. “Plenty Good Lovin’”
4. “Sunnin’ and Funnin’” (McFadden & Whitehead)
5. “Summertime and I’m Feelin’ Mellow” (McFadden, Whitehead, Carstarphen)
6. “I’m on Your Side”
7. “Hot Summer Nights”
8. “We Got The Time” (McFadden, Whitehead, Carstarphen)

   Listen to 60 seconds of George Gershwin’s “Summertime,” performed Philly style, by MFSB from this great classic soul album.
