Scored this authentic Ryan Howard Phillies jersey at a Seattle Goodwill last week for 5 bucks. The Phillies are my second favorite baseball team (behind the hometown Seattle Mariners) so I was pretty psyched, and have been rocking it out all day today. Besides this jersey reminding me of the ol' scrappy 90's Phillies teams with Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams, Lenny Dykstra, Darren Daulton, and John Kruk, wearing a Philadelphia Phillies jersey also reminds me of all the great soul to emerge out of the city of Philadelphia. Jackie Wilson, The O'Jays, The Intruders, Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes, The Delfonics, and the great producers Gamble and Huff made tremendous, unforgettable music. Even Philly's own Hall & Oates made some good blue-eyed soul music in their early days. Most of these songs are pretty obvious choices and well-known to most soul fanatics. Nevertheless, these are a few of my favorite soul songs to emerge from great city of Philadelphia!
