SING IT SHARON PAIGE!!! She KILLIN'!!!
Yes she is❤👍💯
One of my favorite female voices
❤❤❤❤❤❤
RIP
Teddy stepped on Harold. Intentionally 😝
I was Harold Melvin's (and The Bluenotes) last Bassist for five years, before he passed over. I was also Sharon Paige's Bassist and Music Director when she and Teddy seperated from The Bluenotes. Bassist for Billy Paul and The Delphonics. Philadelphia International Records will always be known as THE SOUND OF PHILADELPHIA (TSOP) 4EVER!!!!
My LORD, do you have a musical resume. Thanks for your contribution, Brother. GOD bless.
@@iluvmyboba Thank you Sister, it has always been my pleasure and privilege. Peace and blessings from PHILLY, Pa.
🙏🏽💞💕❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✊🏽💯
Thank you for your contribution sir. This music & these artists are way before my time but I still love them
@@kyjuan89 It is indeed my HONOR, Kyjuan Carter. I appreciate the fact that you listen to this music. "There's a message in the music". Peace and Blessings from Philly, Pa.!
I’m 55 and this is real music that I grew listening to when my family would play it
Teddy lurking in the back like I’m bout to tear this shyttt up #confidence
lol
😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯💯
i see it 😂😂😂
I didn't notice him I'm going to have to look again,thanks
lmao YEP!!!!!
Don't act like y'all don't see them boys back there with that smooth ass step!
Those cats were taking care of business back there.
Yes sir
Indeed
I was just about to say that. Nothing like the old school groups with their silky choreography.
I loved my black folk❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹
My parent's generation grew up to real music.
My era just Timeless music ❤❤❤I be 45 and yes no other era doing it like we did 70's 80's 90's and 2000's ❤
-- YES we did. -- I'm 63 and I was 14 when this song came out. I loved it then and still love it now. 💙💙
Yeap | Yup… Absolutely 💯
Yup! Were built diff’rent!
So did I - lucky me!
THE INSANITY IN MS. SHARON PAIGE’s VOCALS!!! she deserved more.
Facts!!
Yes she was so talented. She sadly passed in 2020. Worst year ever. She was only 67
Check out her solo recording "New To You".
More what,??? Stop saying that ish

No lipsyncing... just pure talent
Weeell Actually Soul Train Made u Lip Sync. Only a Couple of Big Time guest in the 70's like Stevie Wonder, Aretha & or maybe 2-3 More i saw didn't do it on 1 or 2 Appearances.
No lipsyncing, so very, very true! In comparison to the great singers from back in the day, these young kids are pure trash!
Well this one one of those groups because this was raw live
How can you tell that there is no lipsycing? Pure talent, to be sure, although I must say that Teddy Pendergrass puts Harold Melvin in the shade. But most of those singers on television in the 1970's were lipsyncing. And why not? It did not diminish their talent, which is what really matters.
@@vegasmitch1472 I have seen a video of Al Green on Soul Train that seemed to be live, but you are right. Most acts on Soul Train were lipsynced. This song by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon," tracks the recorded version note for note in its voices, intonations, phrasing, instrumentals, and arrangement. All but impossible to do without lipsyncing. But so what? A great performance by a great group.
Sharon was great. RIP beautiful ❤❤❤
I absolutely love Sharon Paiges' sultry voice. The artists usually lip sync on Soul Train, but Sharon, Harold & Teddy are all singing live. RIP Sharon, Teddy & Harold. I miss R&B music like this.
REAL TALK.....
Unsung
Bless you for this comment with such respect for the incomparable Sharon Paige and the power of Teddy Pendergrass with the genius of Harold Melvin. May they all rest in POWER!
Didn't know Sharon and Harold were decease RIP
@@deborahcummings7621, Years now.
who still listen to Sharon paige's voice..out there..
Me it's 2024❤❤❤
Me too 2024😊
I am !!!!
I met her. She was very beautiful and very nice
This Sister was Bad!!!❤
One of the baddest songs! EVER!
Without question!!!💯💯
Yes indeed
Still is
I agree,heck she gave my chills 😂🫶🏽🫶🏽🔥
Damn black women in the 70s were the shit! She's cold with the vocals!
Yes, and we still are. 😊
You have no idea. Back then life was the music and music was life. We walked and breathed the sounds back then.Young people don’t let it die.
Absolutely!!!@@user-uw9uw4dd4m
@@jwalk7659 Nope.
@@jbuk4369 you must be a person of another persuasion; otherwise, you are forgetting about the women in your family. Your perspective is skewed by the black women you encountered. It’s unfortunate that the black women in circle lack class and dignity, or you may be a negative person.
Nothing will ever come close again to this Era of music!! Just classic with class, no half naked women to grab your attention , just pure vocal talent!!
And as you know this is the real and complete standard to model and all that have deviated from the best example can’t replicate greatness in the same genre no matter how much they use A.I. to make sounds, movement’s and images appear to be real. Real will always recognize real…….and real recognize fake! Soul, Rhythm & Blues Music is the Supreme standard for all genres of Music, the best model to emulate, respect and extend!
Touché
No half naked women 😆 yeah sure umm just start with Cher and then you’ll get more from there. Y’all fantasize about a past that didn’t exist or only does in your head. There’s always been sex appeal.
@@TyraHigh it's not a fantasy!! Yes there was always sex appeals or sexual innuendo. What is today only grabs the eye 👁attention can not grab your ears. The women covered their bodies and allowed their vocals to entice you. Sorry you don't feel nor understand this, but it is what it 🤷is
well... not as many half naked women... but I get your point
That's our beautiful black family much love always
The background brothers were stepping there butt off. Great showmanship 😂
You've just got to love them!!!
They was cuttn up ❤❤
Her voice can never be duplicated.😇
NEVER
So true! And the enunciation is impeccable…..👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I still have the album that Sharon Paige appeared with Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Oh the music back then was creative and soulful. We don’t have that anymore.
Yes. Her voice is beautiful.
It reminds me of Sarah Vaughn.
Just so pure, that voice.....she sang that song.
Her voice is phenomenal, she should have been a huge star.
Yeeeah Surprised She didn't hv a Few Solo Hits??!! 🤨
She looks like taraji p henson, the actress from “Baby Boy” and “Hustle and Flow”
@@n8vmilk Naaaaw 🤪 Both Cute but Naaaaw
What a beautiful voice ❤
They sung it live and sounded exactly like the record, wow!!
Sharon sounds even better!!
True singers....their voice transcends the recordings & live versions are just as phenomenal! Don't need no lip sinking.
Teddy was the much better singer on that stage.
But Sharon was great as well.
Because they were real singers. Natural talent, something these modern singers don't have.
Yes
The brothers was steppin’ 🕺🏿🕺🏿🕺🏿!!!!!!!
High steppin'!!
Yesssuuhhh
yes they were
that was smooth
too bad Teddy didn't join in
he could have stepped with them in unison before he sang
Won’t they steppin?! 💯
Yes sir..in Chris Rock voice and you know this man!!!!!
how did we get away from this type of music
☺️ I grew up during this era. I feel blessed. Black music 🎶 was...EVERYTHING.
And I Mean EVERYTHING!!!!
still is luv!
RIP Sharon Paige, Teddy Pendergrass, Harold Melvin
And Lawrence Brown and Bernard Wilson.
Sharon Too? Oh no..last I heard she was alive..RIP Ms. Sharon, I would sing this song all the time..
@@cindyb8478
She died last summer on July 5th,2020.
😢
@@jaysinger535 YES!
Yes Janah Jill. May they all Rest In Peace!!!
Sharon Paige has the most beautiful voice ever. That song was made for her in that duet. And it’s live. Made perfect 👍
I love hearing her so sweet and pleasing voice lead more than hearing Teddy
LIVE recording!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes her voice was truly made for this song.
“Hope that we can be together soon” and “When will I see you again” sings the love we all desire into our hearts. They manifest what the nickname of Philadelphia
Exemplifies. Gamble and Huff were the best R&B producers period in the early to mid 70’s in my opinion along with Thom Bell. The Philly sound was strong from 1967-1977.
I agree
Teddy was destined to shine and be a superstar. He wanted to leave his mark and he did. He was a force of nature and amazing!! Rip Teddy.
I'm missing my baby it's almost my platinum Anniversary if he not here SMH
Show ya right!!!❤
This quality of music will never be repeated.
The COLDEST MALE VOICE, IN THE GAME. Nobody cant outsing TEDDY
The awesome unmistakable sound of Ms. Sharon Paige ..RIP (July 5, 2020)..Gone, but never forgotten
Wow I never knew that she passed on RIP🇧🇲
@@originalsteppa3461 I sad to hear that
I am sadden to hear this. I always loved her voice. R.I.H Ms Sharon Page
What did she die of??
@@kyliehandler6246 Not sure.
2023 and this is still such a beautiful song.
The 70’s are considered by most Americans, particularly African Americans, to be the greatest decade, in part because of music like this as well as the explosion of fashion.
Definitely the best, imo. Our sound was mature, unique, and not frivolous, filled with joy, heartache, pain, and love!
And the Black Panther's 😊
Born in 1970 and blessed! ❤
Since the 1960s and 1970s so much has been lost musically and artistically and it has not been replaced with anything near the caliber of that golden age of music!
Agree! When the Sugarhill gang made it big with their rap lyrics. I said then we were in trouble. Originality went down the rabbit hole!!
They ripped the soul out of Black America, that is what happened.
You aint neva lying. 100 percent goddamn truth.
Touché

TSOP! #philly
June 18, 2024 and still a bop! 💃🏿
July 3 2024!!
Sliding and spinning💜
Sharon Paige's vocals on this track is just crazy! She deserved more credit than she got. A pity she wasn't featured on more of the group's songs.
She actually was Lead Vocalist on a Great Chicago Stepper's classic, ""You Know How to Make Me Feel So Good".She and Teddy were amazing on that hit as well!
She was on all the early big hits singing the high part vocals with Lloyd Parks, harold and Teddy.
@@sofumba I always thought that was a Stephanie Mills song. Well, shut my mouth!! 😃😂
Harold was still wrestling with the fact he was the Ford to Teddy's Ferrari;
now here comes Sharon the Rolls Royce, a WOMAN reducing him to an Edsel;
he never could accept the fact he needed to stay twenty feet back with the other backup voices;
I agree.!
She was supposed to be a bigger star with that voice!
Yep,and Alicia Myers too ✌🏼👍🏽💙😄
I totally Agree!❤
ABSOLUTELY NOT 100 but 200 percent AGREE 👍!! Ms. Paige has a glorious voice that most certain merited much more recognition. She, Phylis Hyman and Angela Bofill were simply STUNNING, astonishing vocalists!
Now, that was MUSIC!!
A Facebook clip got me here and now I love this song
This song was a MAJOR hit in the 70's.
Sure was 😂
They killing those dance moves.. 😂
Just a WOW performance. OMG Sharon!
Sharon Paige, YESSSS!!!
Y'all the late Sharon Paige puts some mercy on it
Teddy's voice was like a hurricane!!Great & Inimitable🙌🏽
Add urgent
hahahahahahahaaaaa
Facts ☺️ Hurricane Teddy 🌀🐻 Coming thru 💯‼️
Teddy should have sung the entire male part. Not to disrepect Harold.
@@melroze u got that right
Her hair is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! Voice is too!
Absolutely! She put modern black women to shame.
Sharon Paige was a mesmerizing fox
The 1970’s was the best decade for music in my opinion.
I so agree 👍🏿
Wow Sharon Paige, Harold Melvin, and Teddy Pendergrass all sound great. This is one of the most beautiful love songs ever. Written by Gamble and Huff. We hear a lot about Teddy Pendergrass singing lead for them but Harold Melvin was a great singer too. He was well capable of singing lead.
Such a beautiful song
I wish they will do biopic movies for all these groups, how they started, the trials and tribulations, successes, etc.
THIS was a complete performance from lyrics, vocals, stage presence and choreography.....WHERE DID SHOWMANSHIP GO??
Into the bin!!!
crack and alcoholism zapped the talent and vocals.
It went to skinny jeans 👖
@@cyndisays They had cocaine and alcohol back then, but cats didn't let it affect the performance, if it did... they were HISTORY
@@missayawk maybe higher quality too.
Sharon Page was a great addition to the Blue Notes 🥰 Sure do miss all of them. 😔
Rip Sharon,Teddy and Harold we miss you and everyone else from Soul Train and the bluenotes

Used to love singing this song 🎵.
I miss them too.
A song from Heaven right here! I am so glad that I was growing up during this time. Music is in my blood! Thank you Lord!
Voices like silk. These artists today could never.
Such a cool name "Azucarmorena" ❤❤
That's bcuz these are Not artists. They're Clowns making Noise
She is so beautiful........god showed out when he made black women.....her message just massages my soul
Melanin is superior. Aedin
Her back up musicians got it going on. You 🤔 🤔 think.
I remember hearing this song riding with the family from Georgia to Baltimore to see my dad's youngest sister. This lady's voice mesmerized me. I still sing it sometimes today.
Why Sharon Paige never released a solo album is beyond me. She's wonderful.
She was suppose to do a solo album but negotiations with Harold and the record company didnt work out.
Money!!!!
I wish that she had made an album. Her vocals are everything!!
Damn shame!!
Music industry is especially hard on women. Gotta be pretty, friendly, and willing to work cheap. Damn shame is right.
Teddy….haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa baby baby baby!…BADD DUDE! The gorgeous Ms. Sharon Page was phenomenal in every way! Harold Melvin was smooth as silk…The brothers had those steps down…Awesome!!!
When people knew how to sing… miss those days and the music we listened to. What talent! Still listening in 2024. ❤️
This song sends chills through me. Just so lovely. Our children need this music to come back, maybe it will calm them down somewhat.
Chile...this song takes me to a beautiful place❤❤
My children grew up listening to this music from my era, and now they are raising their children with it. There are a few today with talent, but not like the performers from the mid-twentieth century.
Love ❤️ her voice on after you love ❤️ me why do you leave me!!!! Beautiful lady Beautiful 🤩 voice
My child 46 yrs and grandchildren. 28...22. ...16 yrsknow this music....and appreciate it....blast it every chance they get....they say to me that I was lucky live when music was great.
Great song, make me feel so good inside
This lady is so beautiful.
This is timeless classic music!!! We are ever so blessed to be exposed to this greatness!!!
Those Soul Train dancers were spellbound by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes popular hit song. They watched in a performance second to none. I am now 80 years old and keep coming back to this soul classic. I am a musician, still performing on piano. I lost my wife, to health issues couple years ago. We were soulmates . Married for 51 years and miss her like crazy.
Hi dear happy you're still here enjoying life ❤😊rip 🙏 to your lovely wife sir.
God bless you brother and may your wife rest in heaven
God bless her soul...
Sorry for your loss
Bless you❤❤❤❤
First time seeing Sharon Paige up close. She is as beautiful as her voice….
Teddy could not be stopped📣
2:25 I just love the way Teddy moved forward. It’s like he was trying to hold back the power inside him. He then tests the water, so to speak, with a couple of words. Then the power is released and people cheer.
True statement
Exactly
Without a doubt, that’s why he had to break free from the group, causeHarold wasn’t having it.
Facts
lol what? You do realize this entire performance is choreographed to match the timing of all their vocals?
That's some real steppin' in the background!!!
was Harold Melvin's (and The Bluenotes) last Bassist for five years, before he passed over. I was also Sharon Paige's Bassist and Music Director when she and Teddy seperated from The Bluenotes. Bassist for Billy Paul and The Delphonics. Philadelphia International Records will always be known as THE SOUND OF PHILADELPHIA (TSOP) 4EVER!!!!
This song does something to your soul.
There is something special about us black people, and can hear in our music! That’ s something the racist can never take away!
I'm white and 64 years old. In my teens (all through the 70s) I didn't really appreciate R&B/Soul music, as I was a typical white teen rock music consumer back in the great days of 70s soul. Don't get me wrong, the obvious huge songs were appealing to me.
Honey Cone, The Three Degrees, Freda Payne and many more, but I didn't pay enough attention to it, being that white teen.
As I got older, I appreciate that great music so much more. It is timeless music.
I will also state that I never cared for disco as a genre, although it grew out of R&B/Soul, but just found it more of a formula than the true musicianship that went into the earlier music.
As to racism, as the saying goes in some football team hatred, "They hate us 'cause they ain't us." If people show contempt, it's more likely jealousy that they can't do it as well.
Happy days to you, cd5516.
Amen. Well said.👏🏽✌🏽✊🏽
As a 78 year-old white woman who considers this music to be the soundtrack of my life, I agree that racism IS ALL ABOUT ENVY OF THE BEAUTY, GRACE AND TALENT OF BLACK PEOPLE.
Still grooving in 2024❤
They been studying our genes unfortunately
I love this clip cuz these were REAL SINGERS no lip singing here
Grown folk music at it's finest
Yes sir
Not so Sir ,my father had the album. As soon as I learned how to use his turntable all I ever played was H.M & Blue Notes 😎, Crusaders, Curtis Mayfield, and on occasion Cannonball Adderley 🤩✌🏼🕊️🇿🇦 love , peace and All that is beneficial to you Sir and your family. Ps I'm only 50 yrs young.
100
Most definitely 🎉
Naturally incredible voice, Sharon Paige. Love when she sings!
How Ms Sharon never became a breakout star on her own is absolutely beyond me. She slays every note and phrase with such precision. The live concert version when shes singing directly to Teddy is priceless and telling as to what her true vocalist talents were. Sinister chemistry between she and Teddy, aside from her vocal contributions on BlueNotes background sessions.
Harold Melvin couldn't her singing to Teddy...he thought had her sewed up. Teddy was too smooth for that.
@@bobbylong8073 I'm not intimate as to the details. If that passionate phrasing was intended just for "show" coulda' fooled me. I'm guessing she really was expressing herself to Teddy, no harm in that, Ms Paige was a beaut in her day.
@@jesincere8589 thanks for you reply....
@@bobbylong8073 Anytime buddy!
maybe she didn't try.... a feature and a few backrounds won't do it.....
Thanks Jag and Gene ❤
I was going to say the same thing ❤

Yeah yes yes yes 😊🎉❤
Man, them sisters from that era were FINEEEEE.....Polished ladies with style grace and legs fa days 😍
Harold Melving were awesome, I really miss music like this.
Just nice. Today just nice
RIP Ms. Sharon Paige
I’m 65 and remember this particular show when they sung this. My lord were they great, Their gone now, it’s tough to look back and see them so young and full of life their entire lives before them. Their all together again may they all Rest In Peace their music will live on forever.
All of them have passed ?
Thank u Ms. SHARON PAGE❤❤❤
Miss Sharon Paige is the total package. This song makes me feel so "GOOD." FLAWLESS!!!
2024 Listening with a smile. This was an UNMATCHED era and full of wonderful talentS 🎶
Teddy is dancing for only me… I can’t stop looking 😊
Lol 🧸
It's Teddy at 2:54 reminding Harold not to play in his face ever again, for me. 😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Well done, Mr. Pendergrass.
‼️‼️‼️
It's the build up for me 😭 he couldn't wait to release them vocals 😂😂👏👏
When music was good. Sure missed them days
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
You were born then?
Si ya no hay tan buena música.
So True my Brother!
You right about that
Teddy P!!!! You can just see Harold Melvin saying why did I let this brother in the band dammit!!! Love the song.
Harold Melvin vocals was smooth like silk.
This is the grown folks JAM! And they did this live?! OMG!
TP was a king in music back then 😊
SEEING THIS old video reminds me how BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING our black people ARE CAN BE.
The 90’s were the last great decade for RnB, but the 70’s were the greatest decade for RnB! RIP Teddy P
Teddy was way ahead of his time
Agreed
That lady is a great singer ❤
What’s really crazy is that Teddy is only like 25-26 here. You’d never know it by looking at him or hearing that magnificent voice
MUSIC WILL NEVER BE ON THIS LEVEL AGAIN!!!! QUALITY!
What a shame... at least we have wonderful memories like this
Hello Fatou, how are you doing?
I agree. I'm a musician and we don't know how to play it.
Sad, but true. It's about the times😊😊😊
Miss the lovely Sharon ❤
How bout they singin live...AMAZING!!!!
Not to mention the smooth choreography...my, my, my!
I remember seating in front of the TV watching this eating a bowl of Rice Crispy Cereal, What a great time in life 🥂
The Blue Notes' steps! Love it!!!
Damn she’s beautiful
Sharon Page what a beautiful lady sharing with the Bluenotes.
RIP Sharon Page
What do you mean RIP - The Curse of the Blue Notes. WTF?
Vocals were as smooth as Butter!
The end of the song when H.M. passed the vocals to T.P. was so smooth! If you didn't see it. You would think it was 1 voice. HARMONY!
I love this song. Sharon Page has the most beautiful voice. Harold Melvin has a great voice. I love seeing Teddy on stage. Irreplaceable. They don't make music like this anymore. Miss it.
Was said that the beautiful as can be woman that sung in this video has been dead since about July 5,2020.RIP,Sharon Paige,you have been greatly loved by those that love your musical vocal talents ( one of them is me) and oh too sorely missed.
R.I.P. Sharon Paige. This Philadelphia singer had a magnificent voice!!
