Nouveau Concepts was once again proud to be Philadelphia International Records’ prefered design firm charged with the task of developing a soulful and nostalgic brochure to honor the legendary founders Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff. A block-long stretch of Broad Street was rechristened “Gamble & Huff Way” outside the duo’s Philadelphia International Records building.

The world-renowned pioneering music icons, architects of “The Sound of Philadelphia,” have recorded and collaborated with a galaxy of stars from the pop, rock, soul and jazz universes, including Michael Jackson and the Jacksons, Elton John, Lou Rawls, Teddy Pendergrass, Patti LaBelle, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Aretha Franklin, the Spinners, the Stylistics, the Delfonics, Dusty Springfield, Jerry Butler, Wilson Pickett, Labelle, Archie Bell & the Drells, the Soul Survivors, Laura Nyro, the Trammps, McFadden & Whitehead, Phyllis Hyman and Grover Washington Jr. Their songs also have been covered by a myriad of artists including Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones, Bette Midler, Simply Red, Michael Buble, Johnny Mathis, Lesley Gore, Donny & Marie, Thelma Houston, the Brand New Heavies and most recently, Rod Stewart, who sings four Gamble & Huff classics on his latest album, Soulbook.
