Soul America How, in the 70s and 80s, a second coming of soul men, led by Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross, offered a black female audience slow jams and sexual healing. In the early 70s, Memphis was the capital of gospel-infused soul music, thanks to two key labels. One was Stax, the other was Hi Records - a high church of soul presided over by Al Green whose Let's Stay Together pre-figured a new type of soul man, one who would come to dominate the 70s - a sensitive lover man.In Philadelphia, a new record label was born that would also soften soul's hard edges. Philadelphia International Records was home to Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, from whose ranks Teddy Pendergrass would emerge. PIR was also home to the O'Jays, who embodied Philadelphia's message of love and togetherness.Fresh from the monumental success of What's Going On, Marvin Gaye went to work on his follow-up, shifting focus from the streets to the bedroom with Let's Get It On.
