The Salsoul Orchestra was the 'house orchestra' of Salsoul Records. It was mainly Vincent Montana, Jr. who wrote, conducted and produced the orchestra. The orchestra routinely included up to fifty members (including up to 18 violinists). Apart from it's own recordings, it played for numerous groups and artist on the Salsoul label. Montana got his start doing sessions for philly soul producers, and he adapted that lush style to disco, adding Latin motifs and textures.

Though Salsoul records had long been out of print, several were brought back in the mid-'90's. Many of the more recent 'house' music offerings owe more than a passing nod to the recordings of this orchestra.

Got a chance to see the Salsoul Orchestra at Philadelphia's old Academy of Music in concert in the late 70's. What a night it was, they were fantastic, hearing that incredible music live with the entire orchestra and guest artist vocalists. I remember it was sponsored by WCAU FM which was a disco station at the time.

Was Loleatta Holloway there?

Marty Emmons

The production on this song is unparalleled. The orchestration, the "Big Band" sound. And the wonderful Miss Holloway singing.

UBZUKKI

So damn good...Ages beautifully

Gabriel makonnen

Vince rocked the vibes. Nothing like it ever! Thumbs up still today. This is real music.

Pepe Le Jazz

Did Vince Montana get funky on the vibes or what??

Alican Demirel

I was always amazed Salsoul didn't make more of this themselves with a re-mix. It's a shame that Vincent Montana, Tom Moulton et al have never been acknowledged for their extremely high production values.

New York had some great talent in the 70's! Lillian Lopez from Odyssey and Cory Daye from Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band.

Sam Pritchard

They were in NYC!
