Philly Soul

For the final i’d like to focus on Philadelphia Soul (not the sports team) and it’s impact on the city and the nation. I would need to know a couple fundamental things to truly study this musical movement.

  • What was the social and political landscape that helped to fuel this creative outlet?
    • both locally and nationally
  • Why isn’t the Philly music scene as prominent anymore?
    • Essentially, where did it go?
  • Who were the people responsible for Philly Soul’s success?
    • Both artists and people behind the scenes
  • Why was Motown more dominant?
  • Are there currently any markers, sites, memorials, or museums in the city that pay homage to this facet of the city’s history?

(Sorry for the late post. I apparently forgot my days)
