- In this video we're listening to Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes. We know one song of theirs because of an 80's cover (If You Don't Know Me By Now). We're really eager to hear what else they've got. Enjoy!

When you don’t have soul, you just don’t have it. Not everyone can feel it.
Exactly!
Wow, still flabbergasted about the Simply Red comment. I'll just leave it at 'I guess you had to be there'.
For us disco dancers, this was a passionate song to dance to. I ❤ it!
When I was a young punk I had to hide the fact I liked soul music like this and also everything Abba , it was my guilty pleasure and as I’m an older guy now I don’t give a crap who knows I love this song , I seem to remember somewhere that this was around the time their producers figured out one of the Bluenotes Teddy Pendergrass was a better singer and frontman than Harold Melvin was , it caused lots of problems due to jealousy but Teddy eventually went solo and had a great career but cut short due to a terrible accident . This track shows his charisma off perfectly, enjoy
👍🏴
This was part of the philly sound with 3 degrees , and others
Although not my usual genre, you can't help but appreciate Teddy Pendergrass' lead vocals. The band also did the excellent "Wake Up Everybody".
No way that Simply Red's version of "If You Don't Know Me by Now" Is better than Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes original with Teddy Pendergrass on lead.
We like them both. But we could do a comparison video...
@@hanierfamily It will end up being judged along cultural and familiarity lines. (Mostly African Americans will pick the original and mostly Whites will pick Simply Red. (Whites are the majority) I'm trying to say this without sounding bad. Go ahead and do it and you will see what I'm talking about.
Totally agree 👍🏾
This song if fantastic
They recorded the original version of don’t leave me this way covered by Thelma Houston
And as much as I love Thelma's cover, Teddy sang it best with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes.
Love Philly Soul !!! (aka The Sound of Philadelphia) For some girl power from that legendary stable of Philly artists, please react to the classic 1974 hit, *"When Will I See You Again",* by The Three Degrees. There's a terrific video of them doing it on a TV show where all three girls (Degrees) are sitting on stools, and wearing gold dresses. It's on a TH-cam channel called, fecskefi, and has 2.4M views. Even if you've heard the song before, you should react to it so you can see what they look like. It's one of my favorite songs of all-time.
ps~It was also Princess Diana's # 1 favorite song. She and Prince Charles loved the girls so much that they hired them on multiple occasions to play at Buckingham Palace.
This song was the blue print for the disco movement, sound and beat.
The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic musical treasure Mr Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
High class soul. In the UK in 74-76, blokes would go out to the disco in smart suits. This kind of music influenced that.
Smokies - Stranger, I'll Meet You at Midnight and In the Heat of the Night...3 golden gems
I'm on your channel for your Jam SLF Clash Chameleons etc but I love this track - vocally amazing
Awesome stuff, loving their syncopated routine. Harold's giving a great performance,.. In my book, if you don't like this kind of stuff, you're already dead. 😁
Agree.
That's not Harold. Lol! The lead singer is Teddy Pendergrass. He had a great solo career as well until he hit paralyzed in an car accident. Check him out.
@@carladavis1473 interesting, I know Teddy very slightly from his solo career, I dont think I was aware he was a member of The Blue Notes. I had also forgotten that the name in the band in those days wasn't necessarily the singer like it tends to be now. Though, iirc, Harold Melvin *is* a vocalist, did he sing the earlier stuff?
That must have been annoying for Teddy! I'm sure I'm not the only one that made that mistake.
TSOP FOREVER ❤❤❤
You seriously think simply reds version of 'If you don't know me by now' is better than the original? Sacrilege!
exactly.
They just don’t get it.
I was thinking the same thing. They absolutely have a preference/bias which is ok I guess. R&b just ain't their thing. This is not disco either.
Brilliant
Very nice! 😊 I had not yet heard this one before either! 😀 It's also not _my_ favourite genre, but I do enjoy the occasional song from it, as it reminds me of my childhood in the 70's, a.k.a. happy times 😊
This is played on the northern soul scene in the U.K.
"If You Don't Know Me By Now" and "Wake Up Everybody" are songs of theirs that you both should check out one day even if you don't react to them...
Peace
Teddy Pendergrass was one of the greatest pop and soul vocalist of all time. His unique voice an true raw talent was remarkable. What a performance. This great talent is lost one these two
It grabbed everyone else
Philly Funk 🤘🏾
I love this song, the one thing that does annoy me is that the album version is six and a half minutes and the single is just randomly faded after three and a half, so the intro takes up far too much of the record and then it just ends abruptly in the middle.
You can always rely on these guys to give a quality song and performance.
My suggestion today is, Robert Plant, Big log
We know Big Log. Muchmusic had that one on heavy rotation. JD Roberts interviewed Robert Plant on the roof.
@@hanierfamily In that case how about Robert Plant 'Carry Fire' Live. The version you want is the one posted on his TH-cam channel 5years ago.
Obviously you'll have heard Elton John's Rocket man, but have you heard the Kate Bush's cover? That's a good comparison for you.

Show some excitement
Tt's the first time I've seen the reaction of these two and I'm disgusted. Without any feeling, as if they are already dead... and they still dare to comment.... but at least I enjoyed Teddy's gorgeous talent and voice. Nobody like Teddy...
