  • MFSB (short for "Mother Father Sister Brother") was a pool of more than thirty studio musicians based at Philadelphia’s famed Sigma Sound Studios. They worked closely with the production team of Gamble & Huff and arranger Thom Bell, and backed up such groups as Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes, O’Jays, Stylistics, Spinners, Wilson Picket, and Billy Paul. In 1974, MFSB began recording as a named act for the Philadelphia International label. "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" was their first and most successful single; released March 1974, it peaked at number one on the Billboard magazine pop and R&B charts. "TSOP" was influential in establishing the disco sound.
  • MFSB (Abkürzung für Mother, Father, Sister, Brother) war ein loser Zusammenschluss mehrerer Studiomusiker, die zunächst zahlreiche Phillysound-Musiker begleiteten und später erfolgreich eigene Alben veröffentlichten. Stilistisch prägend waren die wuchtigen und opulenten Streicher- und Horneinlagen. 1974 gelang der Band ein internationaler Top-Hit mit dem instrumentalen TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia) zusammen mit den Three Degrees als Backgroundsängerinnen. Ursprünglich war es die Musik zur US-Fernsehshow Soul Train gewesen; komponiert wurde das Stück von Kenny Gamble und Leon Huff. In den USA hatten sie damit einen Nummer-eins-Hit und Millionenseller, in Deutschland erreichten sie Platz 5. 2004 wurde der Musiktitel Love Is the Message von MFSB in die neu gegründete Dance Music Hall of Fame aufgenommen.
  • MFSB (zkráceně pro "'Mother Father Sister Brother") je projekt více jak třicet studiových hudebníků, operující ve Philadelphii, v proslaveném studiu Sigma Sound Studios. MFSB spolupracovalo s produkčním týmem Gamble & Huff a aranžérem Thom Bellem. Jako "křoví" jim dělaly kapely Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes, O'Jays, Stylistics, Spinners, WIlson Picket či Billy Paul. V roce 1974, MFSB nahrálo hit "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)", což byl jejich první a nejvíce úspěšný song vůbec. TSOP bylo publikováno v březnu 1974 a umístilo se v Billboard hitparádách jako pop či R&B. Svým inovativním soundem je píseň považována jako jedna z první proto-disco skladeb.
  • MFSB (abbreviazione di Mother Father Sister Brother) è il nome di una delle prime disco band all'inizio degli anni 70: si trattava infatti di una vera e propria orchestra (più di 50 elementi) che produceva disco music. L'intento dei MFSB era quello di promuovere le hit della propria etichetta discografica, la Philadelphia International Records, in maniera analoga a quanto faceva la Salsoul Orchestra per la Salsoul Records. Molti erano i membri che suonavano per entrambe le orchestre. Fu proprio con loro, e grazie a personaggi come Kenneth Gamble e Leon Huff, che ebbe origine il movimento musicale conosciuto come The Sound of Philadelphia (TSOP), e fu anche grazie alla loro musica che si sviluppò il genere musicale Philadelphia soul. Nel 1974, col singolo The Sound of Philadelphia raggiunsero l'apice del successo vendendo milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. La formazione cambiava in continuazione anche se alcuni personaggi quali Ron Baker, Norman Harris, Zach Zachary, Larry Washington e Bobby Eli furono la vera colonna portante della band.

  • MFSB (abreviatura de "Mother, Father, Sister, Brother") foi um aglomerado de músicos de estúdio que tocaram em diversas gravações do chamado "Soul da Filadélfia" (Philadelphia Soul) nos anos 70, e mais tarde lançaram músicas de sucesso gravando por conta própria. Os músicos foram agrupados por Kenny Gamble e Leon Huff para serem os executores dos arranjos nas gravações de seu selo musical "Philadelphia International Records", e deixaram a marca bem característica de seu trabalho, principalmente o som dos metais, nas gravações de grupos como The O'Jays, The Spinners, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, e The Stylistics. Em 1974, a Philadelphia International lançou uma trilha instrumental que foi gravada pela banda como seu tema musical, para o show de TV denominado Soul Train. A gravação, cujo título é "TSOP (The Sound Of Philadelphia)" foi um sucesso nas paradas pop e R&B, e também um dos marcos da "disco' music". Em 1977 lançaram Love is the message e K-Jee, faixa incluída na trilha sonora do filme Saturday Night Fever.
