Biography :
The
Intruders were the first group to score hits with the
songwriting/production team of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, and they
played a major role in the rise of Philadelphia soul. The guys were
originally formed as a doo wop group in 1960, and sang around
Philadelphia for several years. The
original line-up of The Intruders was formed in 1960 by Sam "Little
Sonny" Brown, Eugene "Bird" Daughtry, Phillip "Phil" Terry and Robert
"Big Sonny" Edwards. The quartet began performing in a style that owed
equally to doo-wop and gospel. In 1961 they released "Coming Home Soon"
b/w "I'm Sold on You" on Gowen. The following year, as "The Four
Intruders," they released "This Is My Son" b/w "My Baby." In the late
1970' an old acetate of the Intruders doing "Goodnight" & "Sweet
Girl" was found and released on the King Tut label.
