Suspicious Fire at Historic Sound of Philadelphia Offices (Top Story)
. Despite the extensive damage to the third-floor at 309 S. Broad St., where the Philadelphia International Records (PIR) offices and recording studio are located and the fire apparently originated, Gamble & Huff vow to rebuild their home of 40 years, a major tourist attraction where Michael Jackson, Teddy Pendergrass, Patti LaBelle, the O'Jays, Lou Rawls, Chubby Checker and dozens more created worldwide smash hits. "Ain't no stoppin' us now," said the seminal R&B songwriting team, citing the title of the McFadden & Whitehead classic that was part of the Gamble-Huff/PIR music machine which generated over 100 Gold and Platinum records and over 70 #1 hits, including "Love Train" by the O'Jays, "Me & Mrs. Jones" (Billy Paul), "if You Don't" Me By Now" (Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes) and "Enjoy Yourself" by the Jacksons. - more on this story
