  • Description

    Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes would become one of the most popular groups in R&B over the next few years. They ran off a string of hits and topped the R&B charts with the classic ballad "If You Don't Know Me By Now" (1972), the string-laden dance track "The Love I Lost" (1973), a duet with Melvin discovery Sharon Paige called "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon" (1975), and "Wake Up Everybody" (also 1975). By that time, tension was building within the group. The heavily spotlighted Pendergrass left the Blue Notes in 1976 for a solo career, which signaled the end of Melvin's relationship with Philadelphia International. After Teddy had departed, the group left the Philadelphia International fold for the ABC imprint. Melvin replaced Pendergrass with David Ebo while Cummings and Wilson also left the Blue Notes. In 1977 ABC recorded the album "Reaching for the world" with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. Both single and album were quite successful, the album reached the 7th position in the R&B charts and 74 in the Billboard Pop charts. The album was never re-issued on CD before so fans of Harold Melvin can finally make their CD collection complete.
