Description
By the time The Intruders had released their highly acclaimed album 'Save The Children' in 1973, they were already established as one of the leading R&B groups of their era. Having amassed 20 hit R&B singles and three albums the classic line up of Sam 'Little Sonny' Brown, Eugene 'Bird' Daughtry, Robert 'Big Sonny" Edwards and Phil Terry came back together to record their 4th of 5 albums for Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff's associated enterprises. Widely cited by fans and critics alike as the group's finest work 'Save The Children' is regarded as one of the quintessential examples of Gamble and Huff's 'Philly Sound.'
The title track, a re-working of the Gil Scott-Heron song, sees The Intruders create a more sophisticated sound than on the original, over which Brown sings the socially conscious lyrics. Paul Simon's 'Mother And Child Reunion' is a given the Philly treatment, far removed from the original's reggae vibe. Single 'I Wanna Know Your Name' is a trademark Gamble/Huff ballad, as is 'Memories Are Here To Stay', both featuring a controlled performance from Brown with the group adding strong harmonies, and 'To Be Happy Is The Real Thing', a mid-tempo feel good slice of Philly soul boasts stunning orchestration.
