Philly Groove, a Reservoir Recordings label, has re-released First Choice’s iconic records "Armed & Extremely Dangerous", "The Player", and "So Let Us Entertain You”. The Philadelphia-formed vocal trio is known for their influence on house & techno music, and you might’ve heard their 1973 song “Wake Up To Me” sampled by J.Cole in “Middle Child”.

WOMEN AND MUSIC No matter the industry, representation matters. Music has the ability to inspire us because we connect with music on an emotional level. When we hear a song with lyrics that resonate with our personal life experiences, we feel seen. When we see artists who look and sound like us, we feel empowered. Music is such a diverse industry and with hundreds of thousands of artists sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, it has the unique ability to create a steadfast community amongst listeners of all ethnic, economical, social, and geographic backgrounds.
But when representation is so important to its audience, it might be shocking to hear how underrepresented women are in the music industry: • 21% are artists • 12% are songwriters • 2% are producers
Women are songwriters and musicians but their contributions far exceed just those two titles. We are record label executives and studio owners. Recording engineers and producers. Publicists, managers, marketers, attorneys…the list goes on. Women play an integral role and while there is a shift behind the scenes as we seek positions traditionally given to men, there is still a long road ahead to achieving equality.
Women in Music, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization originally founded in 1985 in New York City, aims to “advance the awareness, equality, diversity, heritage, opportunities, and cultural aspects of women in the musical arts through education, support, empowerment, and recognition.” Learn how you can become a volunteer and amplify your voice by visiting womeninmusic.org.
FEMALE ARTISTS OF AMHERST RECORDS Amherst Records is proud of the musical contributions our female artists have made and we’d like to highlight some of those powerhouse female vocals this month: Della Reese, Jackie DeShannon, Nancy Kelly, Reparata and the Delrons, Sandy Mercer, Val Young, Vicky Leandros, Vivian Reed.
