Released in 1973, the self-titled MFSB album by MFSB, a studio collective at the core of Philadelphia soul. Led by Gamble & Huff, the album combines a sophisticated rhythm section, thick horns, and flowing strings, capturing a rich ensemble that preceded what would later become a global hit, "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)." The sophisticated fusion of funk, soul, and jazz elements creates a powerful performance, even without a singer, showcasing the maturity of instrumental soul. This is also an important album for understanding how the foundations of Philly soul were formed.
