about

The first single from the Nu Shooz album 'Bagtown,' REAL THING is most of all an homage to Philly Soul producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Together they crafted some of the best anthems of the '70's like 'Love Train' and 'For the Love of Money' for the O'Jays. There's also a nod to the Norman Whitfield masterpiece 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone.' Some people find their passion early in life; for others it takes a lifetime. Never give up. Never give in, and you will find the REAL THING.
