About The Philly Sound... Heard 'Round the World
In the 1960s, while America was in the throes of race riots, five people from diverse backgrounds came together in Philadelphia to create a new sound: Philly Soul. Its home, Sigma Sound Studio, was a place that drew Chubby Checker, The O'Jays, Stevie Wonder and many more. This film tells its amazing story.
Directed by Bill Nicoletti, The Philly Sound... Heard 'Round the World leans on a strong ensemble — Patti LaBelle, Johnny Mathis, Bobby Rydell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2023.
