Music:Music Interviews
PIR (Philadelphia International Records) took over from Motown as the preeminent black music label of the Seventies.
I interviewed producer, songwriter, guitarist, and arranger BOBBY ELI for the BBC and for my book, “The Invisible Artist” in 2008. Bobby was a member of Mother Father Sister Brother playing guitar on many of the most successful PIR hits of the 1970s, working with their biggest artists and most significant arrangers.
As a founder member of the PIR team, Bobby was able to give us an articulate and detailed understanding of the genesis and history of the Philadelphia Sound - Producers and Arrangers THOM BELL, GAMBLE & HUFF, BOBBY MARTIN, MFSB, TSOP, The O’JAYS, The DELPHONICS, LTD, and more!
Here, for the first time, is our complete interview.
