Jean Carn ... LP Philadelphia International, 1976. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Jean Carn was one of the best-ever singers to hit the Philly International label – a sophisticated diva with a style that would strongly influence soul music for the next 10 years, and a downright compelling voice that crafted some of the best modern soul of her generation.

Closer Than Close – The Best Of Jean Carne ... CD 
Philadelphia International, Late 70s/Early 80s. Used ... Out Of Stock

Frantique —
Strut Your Funky Stuff (double a-side single) ... 12-inch Philadelphia International, 1979. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An obscure one on Philly International. The cut was actually recorded in France, and has more of a Euro disco groove than some of the other work on the label – but it's still a pretty nice funky club track, with female vocals and a bass-heavy groove. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo. Labels have a sticker spot.)
Dee Dee Sharp Gamble —
What Color Is Love ... LP Philadelphia International, 1977. Near Mint- ... $11.99
Dee Dee's come a long way from "The Mashed Potato Time" here – emerging as a full-blown modern soul artist, with the same sort of sophisticated twist as other Philly girl singers, like Jean Carn or The Jones Girls.
