Sound of Sexy Soul is the second album by American R&B/Soul vocal group The Delfonics, released on February 11, 1969 by Philly Groove label. The album was produced by Thom Bell. Like The Delfonics' debut album La La Means I Love You, The Sound of Sexy Soul is evenly split between new songs written by Bell and lead singer William Hart, and cover versions. The album's lead single, "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)", peaked at #35 on the pop chart at the time of original release. The Sound of Sexy Soul continues the development of the smooth, symphonic soul sound pioneered by Bell on La La Means I Love You and is regarded as a classic example of early-period Philadelphia soul.
"Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)" became one of the group's most recognizable tracks after being sampled on The Fugees' "Ready or Not", a UK chart-topper in 1996 that also went to #22 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
All lyrics written by Thom Bell and William Hart except where noted.
