In the 1970s, Philadelphia was one of the top cities for northern soul. Philadelphia International Records, founded by the legendary producer/songwriters Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff, boasted a roster that included the likes of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, MFSP, the Intruders, Billy Paul, the Three Degrees, Patti LaBelle, McFadden & Whitehead and the O Jays (who were from Cleveland but were considered honorary Philadelphians because they recorded most of their major hits in Philly). And there were many Philly soul stars who weren t part of Philadelphia International, including the Delfonics, the Stylistics, the Moments (a.k.a. Ray, Goodman & Brown), Blue Magic and Barbara Mason. But Philly soul has also had its lesser-known talents, and one vocal group that fit that description was the Futures. Formed in 1968, the Futures lasted 14 years and during that time, a major commercial breakthrough eluded them. But as this reissue of 1975"s Castle in the Sky demonstrates, it wasn"t due to a lack of quality material.
