Frank and his son Charles have kept the lights on with CD/vinyl reissue sets and occasional song placements in commercials, TV shows, and films. Their catalog contains a sprinkling of nationally known talent, most notably twang guitar innovator Duane Eddy (whose “Rebel Rouser” was used in Forrest Gump), and regional successes like the Soul Brothers Six, Cliff Nobles, the Kit Kats, the Fantastic Johnny C, Barbara Mason, and Barbara Lynn, and early productions helmed by Phil Spector and Gamble and Huff. “But less than 5 percent of our songs were hits,“ Frank Lipsius said. “And many have never been heard on the radio outside of Britain,” where obscure R&B -- Philly and otherwise -- has achieved cult status as part of the “Northern Soul” revival scene.
