In this May 8, 2019 photo show is a reel from David Bowie's recording sessions at the Sigma Sound Studio while getting together his 1974 "Young Americans" album, at Drexel University in Philadelphia. A college music department has helped resurrect the music of a largely forgotten Philadelphia funk band and is hoping to discover more gems in its archives. Going through thousands of donated tapes, a band called the Nat Turner Rebellion jumped out to listeners at Drexel University. They assembled “Laugh to Keep From Crying,” the band’s debut album. It was recently released some 50 years after it was recorded at Sigma Sound, the studio which helped create the so-called “Sound of Philadelphia.” (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)
