Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes – Wake up everybody
This is one of my all time favourite soul tunes. Socially conscious and still prescient today, despite being released in the mid-70’s.
It is classic Philly soul, written by McFadden and Whitehead and featuring Teddy Pendergrass on lead vocals on what would be his last album before turning solo.
Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes (great name) are well worth some further investigation, having made some great and varied music from Disco to Doo Wop.
