Harold Melvin The Blue Notes Wake Up Everybody 1975 Soul Purrfection Version
I thought many people have probably forgotten about this radio gold and am bringing it back for this Sunday s upload. It inspires and calms me. After Gene McFadden and John Whitehead had written a, 1 hit for the O Jays Back Stabbers they set their sights on Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes and wrote them Bad Luck a joyous lament that peaked at, 1 disco for eleven weeks Whitehead had a voice similar to Teddy Pendergrass which allowed him to write songs that would use Teddy s voice to its best advantage. Teddy s gospel fuelled vocalizations were perfect for the socially conscious songs that Whitehead and McFadden wrote for them.
