Huff  (born April 8, 1942,  Camden, New Jersey ) [2]  are an American songwriting and production team credited for developing the  Philadelphia soul  music genre (also known as Philly sound) of the 1970s. In addition to forming their own label,  Philadelphia International Records , Gamble and Huff have written and produced 175 gold and platinum records, earning them an induction into the  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame  in the  non-performer category [3]  in March 2008.

It was at one time.  I'm not so familiar with a lot of more current popular music and musicians, and must admit I've never heard of the musicians you referred to.

TSOP, The Sound Of Philadelphia , was an r&b style in the 1970's. The originators and main songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff are in the rock n roll hall of fame Buzz. 

You are out of touch I guess.

I guess so, but I was very involved with folk music during the late 60s and early 70s.
