#Repost @questlove (@get_repost) ・・・ Brother Bunny. Philadelphia quiet storm of class, style & hits. A pillar of the #SoundOfPhiladelphia community. He wrote classics that stood the test of time. Timberlake's #DontHoldTheWall Tyler's #Buffalo were sampled from Bunny's compositions.That dramatic intro Hov used on #TheRulersBack for Blueprint? #JackieMoore's "If" also written by Bunny. All you #CrazySexyCool owners that remembers #Busta's interlude...yup another Bunny classic.---but his songs man: "Somebody Loves You" (Patti) "Your Body's Here With Me, But Your Mind Is On The Other Side Of Town" & "When The World Is At Peace" (The Ojay's) my all time fav by #InstantFunk "I Got My Mind Made Up" (key to Public Enemy's "Terrordome" & De La Soul's "Saturday's") & Chaka's #TightFit. Prolly his most loved song was #LoveAndNeedAndWantYouBaby (Another Labelle Classic) famously sampled on 2 best selling records of 2003. I saw Bunny in my studio lookin like a million bucks w a custom sharkskin suit and I joked "Damn Bun don't be so mean bruh! You lookin clean man!" He was like "That's that Outkast (Ghettomusick--Love Below went diamond that year) & Nelly money talkin' to ya baby! ("Dilemma" w Kelly Rowland sold MILLIONS) Brother Bunny blessed the Roots on #GameTheory singing on #LongTime. Definitely a highlight for us working with him. He was the DEFINITION of cool man. ALWAYS lookin clean. Whenever you needed him he was there (I asked him to sing at my dad's services and he was like "say no more, you know we were almost in laws once" ----long family joke--) this cat will be missed man. Thank you for all you taught us. #BunnySigler rip

The Ojays - Love Train, Song Review by DJ Zoot.

A listen to the O'Jays' gold number one R&B/pop single "Love Train" makes you feel that the "why can't we all live together" phrase popularized by Rodney King could and would be a wonderful reality. Lead singer Eddie Levert's churchy exhortations come across as heartfelt. The O'Jays were suggested to Neptune Records owners/Philadelphia-based songwriting/production duo Gamble and Huff by the Intruders, who'd scored a million-selling number one R&B/number six pop hit with "Cowboys and Girls." Gamble and Huff weren't familiar with the O'Jays' sides for Imperial ("Lonely Drifter" and the George Kerr-produced Top Ten R&B Bell Records single "I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow [Than I Was Today]"). They were impressed with them when they saw a concert in the group's native state of Ohio draw over 500 people, most of whom were white. This showed the duo that the group had huge "crossover" potential. The O'Jays' Neptune singles include the 1969 Top 15 R&B single "One Night Affair" (a 1972 number six R&B smash for Jerry Butler), "Deeper (In Love With You)," number 21 R&B, spring 1970, and "Looky Looky (Look at Me Girl)," which hit number 17 R&B, summer 1970. Neptune was distributed by Chicago-based Chess Records, and when owner Leonard Chess died, Neptune folded. A couple of years later, Gamble and Huff contacted the O'Jays in their hometown of Cleveland and asked if they wanted to sign with the new label Philadelphia International Records to be distributed by CBS Records. Still smarting from the Neptune folding and not being able to see their gold- and platinum-laced future, group members Walter Williams and William Powell were skeptical. At the same time, Eddie Levert's wife had just given birth to twins Sean and Gerald (who would later be two thirds of the group Levert). Eddie reminded his groupmates that Gamble Huff were the only ones calling about a record deal and finally convinced them to fly to Philadelphia to meet with the producers. Another group member, Bobby Massey, declined in favor of a writing-producing career. Written and produced by Gamble and Huff, the million-selling "Love Train" made two stops, parking at the number one R&B spot for four weeks and going to number one pop in early 1973. It was on the trio's gold LP Backstabbers, which also listed the number two R&B single "Time to Get Down," the Top 13 R&B hit "992 Arguments," and the million-selling number one R&B, number three pop single "Backstabbers." The rarely seen 1972 pre-MTV video clip of "Love Train" is both charming and heartwarming in its simplicity and touching because its features group member William Powell, who died of cancer on May 26, 1977. PIR labelmate Bunny Sigler's slow churchy cover of "Love Train" went to number 28 R&B during summer 1974.

Phila Music Royalty, Walter 'Bunny' Sigler _________________________________ Personally, if you didn't know this man, who you can clearly see, was a superstar everyday of his life, than you may have personally missed out on one of the most colorful talents ever. If you did know him, then you'll know exactly what I mean when I say, "my Uncle Bundino Sigaluchi will always be...": •The writer/producer, along with one of my mentors, Reginal Griffin (Legendary genius), of my brother and I, The Whitehead Bros', very first single " I Jumped Out My Skin", on PIR and many other hit records. •Not only an awesome writer and one of the greatest singers out of Philly, he was one of the greatest singers in the entire world... It's been proven! •A person who I can truly say, taught me by producing vocals and influenced my brother and I by impeccable and remarkable example. •Someone you could not compete with at the Players Ball and a dude you probably didn't wanna bring your foxy, soul momma around in the 70s. •Larger than life with everything he did. Rest in God's arms, we will sing your song forever... #bunnysigler #philadelphiainternationalrecords #gambleandhuff #pattilabelle #mcfaddenandwhitehead #kennywhitehead #ijumpedoutmyskin #whiteheadbrothers

Farewell to #PhillySoul legend #BunnySigler

[beats-n-bullshit]

The #beat the #song #SomebodyLovesYouBaby (You Know Who It Is)" is one of #PattiLaBelle 's signature songs released as a single in 1991 on the MCA Records label. The song was the second single to be released from LaBelle's acclaimed gold-selling CD, Burnin'. The song was co-written by LaBelle's friend and former Philadelphia International artist #bunnysigler, who also produced the song. The song reached number two on the Hot R&B Singles chart in early #1992. Like her previous single, "Somebody Loves You..." was also shot at the Apollo. Rapper Plies later sampled the song for his track, "Somebody (Loves You)" off his second release, Definition of Real. #kzthesoulplugger #kzthesoulplugger #kzthesoulplugger #kzthesoulplugger #beatsandbullshit #beatsandbullshit #beatsandbullshit #beatsandbullshit #hiphophead #music #part1 #soul #love #explore #hiphop
