Playlist - 15 Songs
Singular among Philly's legacy of soul singers is poet, actress, and songwriter Jill Scott. The Roots were the first to give her a shot; her lyrics on "You Got Me" were sung on Illadelph Halflife by Erykah Badu. Gil Scott-Heron and Nikki Giovanni presaged Scott's penchant for spoken word, and soul-pop singers like Minnie Riperton and Patti LaBelle influenced her mellifluous vocal style.
