People's Choice - Any Way You Wanna: The People's Choice Anthology (1971-1981)

People�s Choice, despite high acclaim within Philly Soul, R&B, Funk and Disco circles are among the most underrated of the soul groups that found their home at P.I.R. Unlike many of the acts championed by Gamble & Leon Huff People�s Choice were a self-contained outfit performing on the Philly scene since the 60s. Led by Frankie Brunson the group was formed out of R&B act The Fashions. �ANY WAY YOU WANNA... THE PEOPLE�S CHOICE ANTHOLOGY (1971-1981) covers the group�s greatest successes. Signing to Phil-L.A. Of Soul in 1971, they enjoyed R&B hit singles including �I Likes To Do It�, and �Magic� before signing with Philadelphia International�s TSOP imprint in 1974. �The rare TSOP single �Love Shop� arrived in 1974. Another single, �Party Is A Groovy Thing� brought the group another R&B hit that same year but things really took off the following year. �Do It Anyway You Wanna� debuted in 1975 becoming an instant classic, appealing to Soul, Disco and Pop fan alike. The single topped the R&B charts and made #11 on the Hot 100. Later in the year it gave the band their first UK hit when it peaked at #36 and even made the #6 in Belgium and #2 in the Netherlands. The smooth but Funky �Nursery Rhymes� made a formidable follow-up and made #22 on the R&B chart.
