▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ *************************************************** ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ While casual Soul Music fans associate Harold ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Melvin & the Blue Notes solely with the classic ▓▌
▓████▓▌ period of their association with Gamble & HuffÆs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Philadelphia International Records from 1972-76, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the group had been around in Philadelphia for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ twenty years before hooking up with PIR. With ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Melvin as lead vocalist and principal songwriter, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the group, with various personnel changes, remained ▓▌
▓████▓▌ principally a regional act in the 50s and 60s, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ scoring only a few minor Soul hits. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Then in the late 60s Melvin discovered Theodore ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (Teddy) Pendergrass, a young drummer for the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cadillacs, and recruited him as a member of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Blue NotesÆ backing band. Ultimately PendergrassÆs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vocal talents led him into the group as its lead ▓▌
▓████▓▌ singer and brought the group to the attention of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the blazing hot songwriters/producers Kenny Gamble ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and Leon Huff, who signed the group to their PIR ▓▌
▓████▓▌ label in 1971. Success was immediate, as the group ▓▌
▓████▓▌ scored on two smash ballads in 1972, ôI Miss Youö ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (later covered by David Ruffin) and the now classic ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ôIf You DonÆt Know Me By Nowö (later taken to #1 by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Simply Red). With the latter release Pendergrass ▓▌
▓████▓▌ quickly emerged as one of the bright young stars of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Soul Music, with his distinctive sexy, growling ▓▌
▓████▓▌ voice ripping through Gamble & HuffÆs highly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ orchestrated, sophisticated material. 1973 brought ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the group its first dance hit, ôThe Love I Lost,ö ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and another smash album. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ By 1975Æs ôWake Up Everybodyö and ôBad Luck,ö ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were Soul Music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ royalty, on par with the OÆJays and the Stylistics. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ However, it appeared incongruent that the group ▓▌
▓████▓▌ name continued to spotlight Melvin while the vocal ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and visual highlight was the handsome lead singer, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Pendergrass. The issue came to a head in 1976, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Pendergrass left the group for what would be a very ▓▌
▓████▓▌ successful solo career. Gamble & Huff stuck with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Pendergrass the solo artist, and the Blue Notes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ were soon off to MCA Records to try and recover ▓▌
▓████▓▌ from the loss of their lead singer. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The groupÆs first post-Pendergrass album, Reaching ▓▌
▓████▓▌ For The World was clearly structured to sound like ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their work on PIR, but neither the material nor new ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lead singer David Ebo could match the Gamble & ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Huff/Pendergrass combination, and the title cut ▓▌
▓████▓▌ barely snuck into the Soul top 10. It would be the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ groupÆs last hit. Sporadic group member Sharon ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Paige (who had duetted with Pendergrass on the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ previous hit ôI Hope That We Can Be Together Soonö) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ took a more prominent role on the groupÆs next LP, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1980's The Blue Album, but it barely charted. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ More shake-ups led to a new group composition that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lasted nearly a decade, consisting of Melvin, Rufus ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (Fuss) Thorn, Bill Spratley, Dwight (Blackey) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Johnson and new lead singer Gil Saunders. This ▓▌
▓████▓▌ line-up released Talk It Up (Tell Everybody) on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Philly World Records, but the disc generated little ▓▌
▓████▓▌ interest domestically (though it received some ▓▌
▓████▓▌ minor overseas airplay). By the early-90s, Melvin ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and a rotating posse of Blue Notes had become ▓▌
▓████▓▌ permanent fixtures on the oldies circuit. Sadly, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Melvin died in 1997 at age 57. ▓▌
