The Delfonics - La-La Means I Love You (Audio)

[@TalesForTheCulture]

In the Delfonics' Unsung episode, the writer said that his infant son couldn't say ' I love you' but would say 'la la la' instead & that's where he got the inspiration for the title. It's so sweet when you find out stories behind the music. ❤

William Hart, who as the lead singer and chief lyricist of the soul trio the Delfonics helped pioneer the romantic lyrics, falsetto vocals and velvety string arrangements that defined the Philadelphia sound of the 1960s and ’70s, died on July 14 in Philadelphia. He was 77.

[@franciscojimenez4974]

[@jazztime7186]

@@franciscojimenez4974 No, it really was a Philly thing--one of the last regional soul sounds to emerge. No different than the Motown sound, Memphis / Muscle Shoals sound, or the New Orleans R&B sound. The records these places produced were loved by all of America, but they were created by small teams of geniuses in "flyover" cities. I wish we still had regional soul scenes producing timeless music.
