Vincent Montana, Jr., known as Vince Montana, was an American composer, arranger, and percussionist, best known as a member of MFSB and as the founder of the Salsoul Orchestra. He has been called "the Godfather of disco". The group was the house band of Salsoul Records and included up to 50 members with instrumental section, arrangers and conductors. The Salsoul Orchestra was known for their unique blend of Latin and disco music, which was heavily influenced by the soulful sounds of Philadelphia. Their signature sound featured lush string arrangements, funky basslines, and infectious rhythms that made them a favorite among disco fans in the 1970s. The band released their selftitled debut album in 1975, which featured their single "Love Letters" with Latin bolero rhythm. Their music has since been sampled and remixed by many modern artists, and their influence on the disco and dance music genres is still felt today.
