With over 25 gold and platinum album awards, Vincent Montana, Jr. is truly a musical success story. During the '70s and '80s, the multi-talented composer/arranger/conductor/percussionist/bandleader and renowned vibraharpist was a member of MFSB, the studio house band for Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International Records (PIR), and later founded the Salsoul Orchestra for Joe, Stan, and Ken Cayre's Salsoul Records. Montana's Salsoul Orchestra set a high musical standard by introducing the first disco orchestra and inventing a new style of dance music. The orchestra's impact spilled over into the house music of the '80s and the disco-influenced electronica of the '90s.
