THAT
PHILLY SOUND chronicles
the history of the artists that John Madara worked with,
as he shares his personal thoughts and memories of
them with you. Also offered on this site is the opportunity
to sample classic songs and rare recordings of these unique
artists, some never before heard until now.
You will
also have the opportunity to purchase these
classic songs in CDs, put together exclusively for THAT PHILLY
SOUND. Beginning with John Madara's immense
personal catalog of Philly music, THAT PHILLY SOUND will
be updated regularly to also include rare collectables
by other Philly songwriters and producers.
In
the beginning, there were no rules. Just a sound. And
for those who heard that sound, the possibilities were endless.
This was the beginning of an era. No one knew that this
extraordinary sound would serve as a voice to millions of
kids everywhere. It would define who they were and where
they were going. It was the beginning of an era when kids
would find their purpose and expose themselves to thoughts
and actions that were unpopular with the generation that
preceded them.
There were many that said Rock 'n Roll
was a fad and would never amount to anything. Danny and
The Juniors said it best with their hit song, “Rock and
Roll is Here to Stay…It Will Never Die.” It
was a profound statement and a true looking glass into
the future of music. It is with this in mind that John
dedicates this site to THAT PHILLY SOUND,
a sound that helped define Rock 'n Roll. |
