### [Love Is the Message](https://waxonia.com/track/mfsb--love-is-the-message/)

*1973 · Philadelphia International · No. 2 in [Disco](https://waxonia.com/genre/disco/)*

The house band of Philadelphia soul cut the record that became the closing ritual of the Paradise Garage. Not a song so much as a structure DJs spent a decade learning to use.

*1973 · Philadelphia International · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)*

Not a song so much as a structure that DJs spent a decade learning to use. The Paradise Garage closed on it, which is the highest recommendation available.

*1973 · Philadelphia International · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — What the DJs Kept](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-what-the-djs-kept/)*

The closing ritual of the Paradise Garage, played to the same room often enough to become liturgy. Some records are made by DJs years after they are recorded, and this is the clearest case.
