__________________________
A classically trained prodigy who began playing the cello at age seven, Philadelphia native Larry Gold has worked on countless hit records over the past four decades. Throughout the ’60s, ’70s and early ’80s he was a member of MFSB, the legendary house band for Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff’s Philadelphia International Records, and helped shape “The Sound of Philadelphia,” as it came to be known, via classic recordings by the O’Jays, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, the Delfonics, Teddy Pendergrass, Billy Paul and others. By the late ’90s, however, Gold would truly come into his own as the go-to string arranger of the modern R&B and hip-hop era. His orchestral contributions to Brandy & Monica’s 1998 smash “The Boy Is Mine” set off a series of genre-defining recordings, including classics by the Roots, Erykah Badu, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Jill Scott, Common and Kanye West.
