I Realized I’ve Made A Mistake. I Kept Calling Bernard Wilson Bernard Williams It’s A Mistake I Made That I Didn’t Catch My Apologies To Mr Wilson and His Family
You are good. Mistakes happen. True subscribers and members are still with you ❤
Sharon Page is the female singer. You said “Cheryl”. No harm no foul.
Teddy made the group
I never thought they were underrated. To me, they had always been a class act and a powerhouse. Just my thoughts.
Wow all of those guys have passed on. As a kid growing up in the 70's I do remember the Blue Notes. "Wake up everybody" and "I hope that we could be together soon" was 2 of my favorites. When Teddy Pendergrass left the group he took the hits with him. Pendergrass solo career was amazing. He really had to go solo to get all of that great music that he shared with the world as a solo artist. His live performances are legendary with his female audiences. Thanks for sharing the history on these guys. I pray that they all are RIP. Peace out.
Harold Melvin was a excellent singer, he just didn't sound like Teddy. Listen to Harold on "To Be True" and you'll know for certain he sings
very well. Just because Teddy had a strong distinct voice you can't knock Harold.
I.agree I think.Harold Melvin was a good singer but Teddy was a powerhouse
Teddy came out roaring and had that height and look, Mel was short nx to Ted
I agree. I was the Bassist for Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes (5 yrs) until he passed away in 1997. Harold had an excellent voice also.
@thegreatestbassist I'm knot sure what happened, bhh, my heard goes out 2 Harold Melvin 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆RIP
@@JamesDoe-ie1sb thank you Brother James. Peace & Blessings!!
I was the Bassist for Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes (5 yrs.) until he passed away in 1997. At that point, I became Bassist for Billy Paul and The Delfonics. I was also Bassist/Music Director for Sharon Paige, after she and Teddy Pendergrass left The Bluenotes. I currently own a small independent Label and have released two original tracks of my own. TSOP 4EVER.......
I love Teddy and Herold Melvin and the Blue Notes, THANK YOU VERY MUCH GUYS
Lloyd Parks is never spoken about. It was his background vocals that set "I miss You" off.
He's the only surviving member that is still alive.
Wish that we could be together soon...a song I listen to at 15 makes sense at 65
I am waiting for this video.🔥🔥🔥
Harold kept all the money and paid the blue notes peanuts.
Yelp. That was one of the reasons Teddy Pendergrass left. Harold Melvin was stingy with the money. Had he paid Teddy right, just maybe all of that success Teddy had as a solo artist could been shared with Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. I seen a picture of Teddy and Harold singing on stage after Teddy was in his wheel chair.
Most of them do it, they don’t share the money, that’s the music industry
I see why Teddy Pendergrast went solo!
@@marquiswilliams485 Teddy Pendergrass went solo also.
Harold was keepin all the💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲ever since 1956
They all was very good ❤🎉😊
Very well done! Glad I got to see them in the 90's!
I miss all of our kingship fathers, and the Queenship mother whom made the Blue Notes Rest In Peace, and Rest In Power to our one of many way pavers
I loved the configuration with Teddy Pendergrass and Lloyd Parks in the lineup. H.M. And the Blue Notes left a big footprint in R&B.
This is sad😢😢😢😢
Harold Melvin name shouldn’t have been top billing, The group should have been called the Blue Notes featuring Teddy Pendergrass or just The Blue Notes.
RIP Larry Brown, bass singer. I met him back in the late 80's when he was working some gigs in Boston. We were drinking at the same bar for a few days. Cool dude, class act. Philly, baby. Right on!
0:53 is “My Hero”, their debut single for what would later become as Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, and it was first introduced in the opera “The Chocolate Soldier” in 1908, and it was first recorded by Lucy Marsh and released in 1910. Many opera singers covered the song over the years including Deanna Durbin, Anna Moffo, Jeanette MacDonald, Ralph Flanagan, and dozens more as well as this one by the Blue Notes.
Unfortunately, “My Hero” peaked at #19 on the R&B charts and #76 on the Hot 100 charts, but it was an error that says “Didn’t Chart”, but we’ll give them credit as their first R&B hit.
Thanks!
I agree with your thoughts on the Blue notes! Teddy did big things for this group. Also the other members was talented as well! They truly left a huge imprint in our hearts and we love still, Harold Melvin and the blue notes, featuring Teddy Pendergrass! Great music, still to this day; it stills stand up today! Have a listen guys!
This version is hot again ❤❤❤❤
Amazing work. Thank you for this. They really needed this respect ❤️
He was sosososo underrated
Great great great video my man
He was sosososo fantastic
Harold Melvin could sing!! Teddy enhanced and carried that group and made them one of the best. They did a song called Ebony Woman, if you listen to Harold in the opening, you'll know whet I mean.
Great video! Together Soon was my favorite!👍💯🎯
Wow they just died right after each other great work
Did you forget about Dwight Johnson .? He joined H M & The Blue Notes in early 70's but sadly passed away in 1999,
Another great video! Although the glory years of the group were those with Teddy, they certainly had a long history before and after.
He was sosososo superb
He was sosososo brilliant
The record mentioned at the beginning Get Out became popular in the rare soul clubs in the U.K the mid 70s and was then issued in the U.K and reached #35 pop a whole 10 years after its U.S release..
👍
Very interesting. I admit I don't know a lot about this group. But I have watched old clips, interviews. I don't think Harold Melvin was a bad singer, but Teddy did give the group a stronger voice. I guess if you don't know me by now. Probally was the first song I remembered hearing. Yes I heard the stories. I don't think teddy replaced Harold. I think he just stepped up when Harold missed shows. Yes I've seen the clip of teddy on Dina shore, where he explained he was not Harold Melvin. She asked where was Mr Melvin, teddy shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know. But didn't Teddy leave the group before Harold Melvin died. Yes I've seen Teddys Biography. I love going back looking at new groups. True. Harold Melvin and the Blue notes, nobody ever talk about. Fact I didn't even know at first when Harold Melvin passed. I agree this group is indeed Unsung. It was good for come here and get more facts. I remembered asking where Harold Melvin was Buried, but nobody could tell me, I thought that was sad. That's not to say that, there were a lot who spoke up for Harold Melvin and the Group.RIP to Harold Melvin and all the members of the group that has passed on. Thank you for doing this. The more you know, the less ignorant we are.👍✌. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita james. 🙂🤗🖖👋.
You made it clear that you didnt know much about this group . . . . . Teddy didn't "step up when Harold missed shows"______Harold HIRED Teddy. First as the drummer for the group, and then after hearing sing____made him the featured vovcalist. You'll see postings all over the boards that Harold 'hated' Teddy, or that he was jealous, blah,blah,blah. Nothing could be further from the truth. Any division between members of the group and Harold was over money, which is typical of this rotten industry.
Teddy's way out was to go solo, like so many artists.
I agree that members of this group had reason to leave as Harold Melvin was not treating them fairly. But, in general, when lead singers leave, the other group members sometimes have a hard time making it and usually end up breaking. I admire Levi Stubbs as he made it a point to stay with Four Tops to keep group together. Wish more groups would take note.
Good 😀video
Harold was SELFISH & TIGHT !! come on now !!
He was sosososo bless
He was sosososo deep
You keep calling my father Williams, his name is Bernard Wilson, please make that corrections to your video.
Iam deeply sorry it was a typo / mistake that I never caught on to until now
Not such a hard mistake to make Bernard Williams original bluenote then recorded as Bernard Williams and the original Bluenotes
Okay 🙄
Let’s face it until Teddy joined them they were nothing special and when he left they were nothing special again. Teddy was the whole group, he was always going to leave. He was just on the verge of superstardom in 1982 when that horrific car crash ruined his career it took all the power out of his incredible voice, he was never the same after that.
Facts
Yes after his crash he could not sing with that powerhouse voice again
@@WBPTVThanks. 😁
@@kevinbrown6072Yes, his voice was incredible. Have a listen to the full Black and Blue Album when he was with Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. He was about 22 on that Album his voice was the best ever on that Album. It’s my favourite Album of all time, 50 years on I still play it and never get tired of it. The musicians backing him were incredible. Earl Young on the drums, Ron Baker on the bass and Norman Harris on guitar, also Don Renaldo and his strings and horns.
@anthonyharty1732 pretty much all of the Harold Melvin and blue notes albums with Teddy Pendergrass on it were classics, I think That Harold Melvin didn't like that Teddy was getting more spotlight than him
Yeah, Harold was a jealous, conniving dude.
must not been born bruh, cause bluenotes were all over the charts/place
NO TEDDY, NO BLUE NOTES, AND THAT'S A FACT,WELL
I watched them on soul train, who is the white looking guy next to Teddy , with plastic looking hair ?
Lloyd Parks, the only one still alive 😢
@@georgiagonzales3769 thank you
The group went downhill after Teddy P left. Melvin holding out on the money and not paying him his worth wasn't helping either.
everybody pretty much knows Harold Melvin destroyed the group out of petty jealousy;
Dude what's up with all the silence?
