Philadelphia Freedom Together - from the rare vinyl! In 1989 a bunch of Philadelphia based artists got together and recorded a version of Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom," presumably for a charity record. The project seems to have been finished but then abandoned. I found this vinyl copy in a record shop some years ago. Side 1 has the complete version, while side 2 has this edited "short version" and an instrumental track. Artists included on this recording: The Hooters, Patti Labelle, Tommy Conwell & The Young Rumblers, Grover Washington, Jr., Pretty Poison, Phyllis Hyman, Teddy Pendergrass, Robert Hazard, Jeff Lorber, Jean Carn, Britny Fox, Bobby Rydell, Schoolly D, Essra Mohawk, Sister Sledge, Billy Paul, Dee Dee Sharp & Tony Santoro.
