Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were an American R&B/Soul vocal group, one of the most popular Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. The group's repertoire included soul, R&B, doo-wop, and disco. Founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the middle of the 1950s as The Charlemagnes, the group is most noted for several hits on Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International label between 1972 and 1976, although they performed and recorded until Melvin's death in 1997

Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and Teddy Pendergrass really delivered on their 1972 debut album. Unsurprisingly, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff's production gives the group a great backdrop to sing. This album has much of that soft ballad soul that I crave (like with other artists of the time like The Delfonics, Stylistics, among others), but instead of a falsetto lead, we get the deep, gruffy, emotional, painfully beautiful crooning of Teddy Pendergrass (aka TP), while the rest of the group provides awesome harmony.
