🎉🎂🎶 #ArtIsAWeapon Reposted from @rarities_n_actualities_blacks Happy birthday @mrkennygamble #KennyGamble, the legendary #songwriter, #producer and #humanitarian. The pioneering musician formed R&B label Philadelphia International Records (PIR) with his long time partner #LeonHuff in 1971 and created the "Philly Sound". PIR's stable included The O'Jays, Billy Paul, Harold Melvin And The Bluenotes, The Three Degrees, The Jones Girls and PIR's house band MFSB (Mother, Father, Sister, Brother) to name a few. Gamble also formed Mighty Three Publishing with Huff and fellow PIR songwriter Thom Bell.  Kenny is renowned for his humanitarian works for both civic and charitable causes ... notably the "Clean Up The Ghetto" project. He was inducted into "Rock And Roll Hall of Fame" in 2008. Currently he continues to write music with Leon Huff. He and Huff are legenday names in the music industry and an inspiration to a new generation of black producers/musicians/#songwriters. #kennethgamble #leonhuff #gambleandhuff #pir #kennygambleandleonhuff #soul #rnbsoul #phillysound #theojays #billypaul #mfsb #blackmusic #rnbmusic #blackexcellence #soulmusic #thethreedegrees #haroldmelvinandthebluenotes #thejonesgirls #mightthreemusic #thombell #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon #MusicIsLife https://www.instagram.com/p/CDxkyAoAqqr/?igshid=s1874ynrqrjh

#Repost @ruxspizzle_ • • • • • • In #1972 #HaroldMelvinAndTheBlueNotes' "#IfYouDontKnowMeByNow" became their first hit, topping the US R&B chart and peaking at number three on the US Pop chart.

The song was originally written for #Labelle (a trio led by #PattiLaBelle) but they never recorded it. Much like the issue with “#IMissYou" and #TheDells passing on it, the song's composers #KennyGamble and #LeonHuff gave the song to #HaroldMelvin & #TheBlueNotes, which featured #TeddyPendergrass as lead vocalist. In addition to the single release, the song was included on their eponymous debut album. #TWIMH

Do you know I never planned on being in the FILM business? My first love was MUSIC. It's what I left college to pursue. It's what moved me from Austin to Philadelphia in '89 in hopes of meeting my muse, #PhyllisHyman who was signed to Philadelphia International Records, home of #KennyGamble and #LeonHuff. Not only would I move there, get to tour briefly w/Phyllis, but I also got to stand in the sacred rooms of PIR Studios, where I would meet Kenny and Leon, and #DexterWansel and #BruceHawes. It all happened because of MUSIC. After Phyllis' untimely death in '96, I would encounter another lady whom I equally loved, #ShirleyHorn, backstage of her concert at The Academy of Music Hall. That friendship was sustained 'till her death in '05, but produced a songwriting credit on her Loving You release in '97. This photo represents that intersection between my love of MUSIC and my curiosity with FILM that began in '92, with this first headshot. I remember consciously placing the microphone into frame to represent and remind myself of my first love. And while I would record three projects and several singles in the years to follow, the balance of Film vs. Music is overwhelmingly in favor of Film. One would think that would make Film my obvious love, now. But I've discovered something that I should have known and I purposed to never forget, and yet, I did. MUSIC has saved my life more times than I can write in this sitting. MUSIC still lifts me when I'm at my deepest and surprisingly, I have never married the two worlds I inhabit. Why am I not a #MusicSupervisor in Film or TV? Why am I not creating work for those artists that I truly love and draw strength from, daily? Is this my real interest in PROJECT Management? See, I mistakenly fell into the proverbial trap that many fall prey to ... having a thirst for knowledge and understanding doesn't always mean you need to be in the center of that focus. Sometimes, you're more effective doing what you LOVE as a help to others. This is my Journey, now... To Be of Service in the place where I truly belong.

Morgan James - If you Don't Know Me By Now

Lyrics: If You Don't Know Me By Now You will never never never know me

All the things That we've been through You should understand me Like I understand you Now girl I know the difference Between right and wrong I ain't gonna do nothing To break up our happy home Don't get so excited When I come home A little late at night Cos we only act like children

When we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me by now You will never never never know me

We've all got our Own funny moods I've got mine Woman you've got yours too Just trust in me like I trust in you As long as we've been together It should be so easy to do Just get yourself together

Or we might as well say goodbye What good is a love affair When you can't see eye to eye If you don't know me by now You will never Never never know me
