The ultimate dance record, a huge New York City nightclub anthem. Probably the biggest non-radio dance record of my early Dj years. In 1972, MFSB began recording as a named act for the Philadelphia International label. "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" also known as the Soul Train theme was their first and most successful single. Released in March 1974, it peaked at #1 on the Billboard pop and R&B charts. "TSOP" was influential in establishing the disco sound. The track sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in April 1974.
Love Is The Message", has been a favorite of dance/disco DJs since its release; countless remixes, both official and unofficial, exist of the song. The accompanying MFSB album, Love Is the Message, was a gold-selling Top Ten hit (and a number one R&B album). On September 20, 2004, the record became among the first to be inducted into the newly formed Dance Music Hall of Fame.
