Thom Bell, along with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, was part of the holy trinity of Philly soul. Reaching an apogee in the early to mid-'70s with records for the Stylistics ('You Make Me Feel Brand New'), the Detroit Spinners ('Could It Be I'm Falling In Love'), the O'Jays ('Back Stabbers') and New York City ('I'm Doin' Fine Now'), Bell was the classically trained arranger who introduced the celeste, the French horn and the harpsichord to soul music. This is the first-ever compilation of Thom Bell's productions and arrangements. Put together by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley, Ready Or Not combines some of Bell's biggest and best-loved hits with rarities (an original copy of Connie Stevens' 'Tick Tock' would set you back more than £200) and lesser-known work such as Dionne Warwick's seductive 'Track Of The Cat' and Johnny Mathis' epic 'Life Is A Song Worth Singing'. Star names including Laura Nyro and Lesley Gore line up alongside soul legends Dee Dee Sharp and the Delfonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere I Go Again - Archie Bell ; The Drells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can’t Take It – The Orlons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You’ve Been Untrue – The Delfonics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Look The Other Way – Lesley Gore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tick-Tock – Connie Stevens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What I See - Three Degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Moody Woman – Jerry Butler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What Kind Of Lady - Dee Dee Sharp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ready Or Not Here I Come (Can’t Hide From Love) - The Delfonics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Wanna Be A Free Girl - Dusty Springfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It’s The Same Old Love – The Courtship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e People Make The World Go Round –\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Stylistics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Back Stabbers -  The O’jays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Man Band (Plays All Alone) – Ronnie Dyson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do You Remember Yesterday – The Intruders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I’m Doin’ Fine Now – New York City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Life Is A Song Worth Singing – Johnny Mathis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Something For Nothing –\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mfsb Featuring Thom Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Could It Be I’m Falling In Love – The Spinners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Make Me Feel Brand New – The Stylistics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Close The Door – Teddy Pendergrass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It’s Gonna Take A Miracle –\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Laura Nyro ; Labelle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Track Of The Cat – Dionne Warwick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521766625554,"sku":"029667098021","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/ready-or-not-thom-bells-philly-soul-arrangements-productions-1965-1978-various-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
