The Philadelphia Inquirer recently published what it described as the 76 most iconic Philadelphia songs. The songs, which span genres and eras, are referred to as the city’s soundtrack. We found three artists and songs that made the list and have a connection to Conshohocken. Check them out below.

The strongest connection is that Marah’s “Christian Street” ranked 56th on the list of the most iconic songs. Marah was founded by two brothers, Serge and Dave Bielanko, who grew up in Conshohocken, attended the local public schools, and played in the sports leagues. The song made the Inquirer’s list due to it offering a “tour down the South Philly artery.”

While no member of the Hooters has Conshy roots, there are serious connections. Today, Rob Hyman owns a music studio along East Elm Street, and Dave Uosikkinen’s In the Pocket band covers of the essential songs of Philadelphia at Studio 4 in Conshy.

The Hooters’ song, “All You Zombies,” was ranked 31 on the list.

While he didn’t play on the original recording of The Trammps’ “Disco Inferno,” keyboardist Ed Cermanski, a native of West Conshohocken, became an integral part of the disco band.

The disco staple came in at No. 25 on the list.

Chubby Checker is another musician who didn’t initially have an association with Conshohocken but now does. For more than two decades, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has had an office in Conshohocken that handles his business interests. It is not usual to see a photo pop up on social media of those who see him on the street or at a local restaurant.

“The Twist” was ranked No. 8.
