6abc Philadelphia
Soul of the City
For centuries Philadelphia has been America’s laboratory for experiment and innovation—in government and politics, medicine and science, freedom of conscience, the arts and architecture, and in brotherly and sisterly love. The rich fusion of immigrant and local cultures established Philadelphia as a city of music. Groundbreaking artists, creatives, technologists, producers, and promoters collectively made one of the world’s great musical centers. Soul of the City explores how music infused the city’s character through the 20th century, creating a cultural canopy linking musical genres and generations. - Soul of the City: They went to New York to become stars. They came to Philly to learn how.
