Ingram Family - Saxxy Moods - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Wisely choosing the lost gems and funky grooves that have been heavily sampled by the modern hip-hop, funk and electronic communities, the first family of Philly soul pay homage to all the groups that made those funky records back in the early and mid 70's that inform so much of what we listen to today.

Undoubtedly the first soul music family of Philadelphia, Ingram, was a self-contained family operation from top to bottom. The multi-talented group of sisters and brothers consisted of Norman (Butch) on bass and trumpet, James on keyboards, vocals, sax and flute; Billy on guitar, bass and trombone, John on lead vocals and percussion; Jimmy on drums, percussion and trumpet; Barbara on lead vocals and her sisters Francis, Edith and Virginia rounding out the singing. They burst on the scene in the mid-seventies with a string of hits that sold well in the northeast and stretched all the way over to England.
