  • Tom Moulton's fabulous remix of Teddy's masterpiece. When Tom cut the final mix, there was a prominent conga line that starts at 5:16, which you can hear on this HD version. Because of a labeling problem, this version was never mastered and the version that was released on Tom's Philly Remix album was not the one Tom had planned....no congas. That mix is only available on this TH-cam channel, thanks to my friend Tom's generosity.

      The culture was going to church. Respect for God. Doing their best. Today, God is an afterthought. People living for themselves. Love themselves more than love God. Bible said these days would come. Now we're here. Last days. Repent.

    Harold Melvin came from a time of excellence in all things. You didn't get a recording contract unless you had the chops to make it. You didn't get a hit unless you had a great sound, great production, fantastic backing musicians, the right look and the personality...AND of course, talent. What has happened is that drugs took over the industry.. and they didn't care about quality...Music today is depressing..just horrible noise. Those who don't remember the golden age of music...........probably the mid 50s to the mid 70s give or take, simply don't understand that there was a time just before them when everything went right. Life itself was a glorious thing to behold, and the music reflected it. Sad to say, it will not return............those who remember it, cherish those times. Those new to this music, consider yourselves lucky to be able to hear it on You Tube.

    Moulton invented the 12" single as well, by sheer accident. An engineer ran out of 7" discs for a test copy to give Moulton for his usual fix/mix magic. So the engineer used a 10" platter. Moulton thought it looked ridiculous to have a three minute song scrunched up at the edge and told the engineer to redo it with wider grooves. As soon as Moulton heard it, it was a revelation: Wider grooves made the lows and highs more distinct. Extended singles became industry practice almost immediately.

    Emblematic cut from '73.
    Little did we know that history was being made
    When these songs were being played in the discos
    I thought that from that point on, things wud just get better and better (musically speaking). Just goes to show you, how dumb we all were back then. This song reminds
    Me of dancing at the CABARET on Montgomery
    St. In the North Beach section in San Francisco.

    I'm French, born in 1964, and discovered this song by TH-cam. I had never seen a singer with such a class, with so much Glam, and such power in the voice. He was really beautiful.

    Teddy Pendergrass was the heart and soul of this incredible group his voice that baritone sound had strong affect on many!! He was sensational during his time with the group he blended in beautifully singing lead there will never be another Teddy Pendergrass, Harold Melvin their music timeless!!! Thanx for the music it wouldn't be possible without you. He definitely gave us something to look forward to this incredible masterpiece!!! LOL

      Teddy Pendergrass was the lead singer, the sound, the voice of all their hit songs. It was not Harold Melvin. That’s why Teddy left the band. He became a huge star on his own. He was an incredible talent.

    Very little was as good as Philly Soul in the 70s. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes were always a win for the ears. And don't get me started on how utterly sexy Pendergrass and his voice were. Whew! Way too much heat there. RIP, you sexy devil.
    The entire Moulton Remixes album is stunning. So glad I picked up the CD set when it was easier (and cheaper) to get in 2012, but I wish I'd gotten the vinyl version, too. I have a feeling Philly Soul sounds best on its original format.

    can't take it away from black musicians they had soul , and advanced every genre of music to what it is today. I only wish that some who died tragically were still here today. Without these musicians music would not be the same.
