KENNY GAMBLE - AIN'T IT BABY


Kenny Gamble, of course, is most famous as being part of the Gamble/ Huff writing duo that is ubiquitous with Philadelphia soul, and a run of massive hits that began in 1967 (with The Soul Survivors- "Expressway To Your Heart"). Young Kenny was quite precocious as a young man, and in addition to having ran a record store, worked in radio and began crudely producing records as a teen, he was signed to Columbia Records at age 19. On this track (recorded when he was 22), we hear the beginnings of his songwriting brilliance, matched with a gruff, soulful voice that was not heard much afterwords, as songwriting became his forte.

from 1965...
