While they weren't a Philly soul group in the strictest sense, no overview of the greatest recordings written and produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff would be complete without the Jones Girls. The Joneses added Midwest flavor to the lush Philly sound and elevated their material with impeccable sibling harmonies. In the process, the Joneses delivered some of the finest dancefloor jams and quiet storm ballads for Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International label. These include the Top 40, gold-certified hit "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else" (1979), the quiet storm classic "Nights Over Egypt" (1981), and beloved deep cuts such as "Who Can I Run To." After a brief phase with RCA, the Jones Girls recorded less frequently and made their final studio statement in the early '90s. ~ Andy Kellman
