Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 who likes this band because i have some of there albums from 70's and love the band but wonder if any songs on the albums would be Northern. I know of Get Out and let me cry but there are some good stuff on these albums from 1976 and few years before. have about 4 in total.

Guest in town Mikey Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I bought the Love I Lost off Dave Thorley at a Stroud Alldayer when I was about 13 or 14. And still enjoy hearing it now I'm just a little older.

We were lucky enough to get them along to do Stafford, by that time Ebo was the lead singer. Just the dogs nuts and one of the best nites at Stafford, over 1500 in to see them, the whole nite was madness Edited October 23, 2006 by Dave Thorley

Guest Adrian Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) yep, think they are great. I think we are probably all guilty of getting carried away with rarity etc, but as said it don't really get much better the Love I Lost for philly soul. superb. I like there version of Everybodys Talking too, infact i like most of there stuff and as a added bonus the missus loves it so I can always say 'brought that one for you love' Edited October 23, 2006 by Adrian

Guest Baz Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Any one know the story behind the name Harold melvin & the blue notes? always wanted to know why it wasn't Teddy P and the blue notes, wasn't Harold the drumer or guitarist or summin like that?

Teddy Pendergrass was the drummer when recruited in 1970, later to become lead singer. Harold Melvin was lead singer and founding member alongside Bernad Williams, Roosevelt Brodie, Jesse Gillis, Jr., and Franklin Peaker. Bernard Williams left to form a group called The Original Bluenotes who as we know recorded for Harthon and was also if memory serves me right the lead on the Victors "Hurt".

Guest Matt Male Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 We were lucky enough to get them along to do Stafford, by that time Ebo was the lead singer. Just the dogs nuts and one of the best nites at Stafford, over 1500 in to see them, the whole nite was madness Were they on at the Oddfellows Leicester as well? I remember standing at the front of the stage during an unbelivably emotional version of 'Dont leave me this way' In what's left of my memory from those days i'd always assumed it was Leicester. Maybe it was Stafford after all....
