THANK YOU HAROLD FOR ALL YOUR HITS, I'LL NEVER FORGET THEM..REST IN PEACE..

The Man, the Myth, the Legend. His genious launched the group that swayed the crowd from the Motown sound to the Philly sound.

Harold Melvin, in my opinion, was a great entertainer. I had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions. He was a dear friend of my uncle, Vinny Martino, and on the night that the Son Of Sam was caught, I was DJ'ing at the Chateau Pelham with Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes as the musical guests. Teddy Pendergrass was already persuing his solo career and the lead singer, Dan Ebo, was superb.
R.I.P. Harold. You will be missed

Harold Melvin had the voice of silk. His legacy and music will continue to live on and he will never be forgotten.

Where Are My Friends?

Bad Luck

Wake Up Everybody

The songs play on!

R.I.P.

His "Blue-Notes" Honor His Memory AT The Soul 70's Concerts, They Still Sound Fantastic And Are Billed As "Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes"

WHERE ARE ALL MY FRIENDS, are they with THE LOVE I LOST? Or is it simply BAD LUCK! I can joke with those titles only because everyone knows them. We are all aware of the many,many huge hit records that HAROLD MELVIN and The BLUE NOTES released. The question I put to you is, Was Herald Melvin and his Blue Notes the FIRST so-called DISCO group? Certainly they were one of the first groups, their name recognition provides us that. But were they THE FIRST? I can tell you they didn't think so. Harold once told me that they are a "Rock n' Soul" group. He compared himself and the Blue Notes to a "sixties-Motown" type group. That they were, but in our DISCO world, they were one of the first DISCO bands as well. WAKE UP EVERYBODY, Harold Melvin was one of our pioneers, he came out with one hit record after the other in the early seventies, when DISCO was young. He played all the clubs in Philly, and New York, and I spoke to him all the time in the seventies. The last time I saw him, it was in a DISCO in North Bay Village, Florida. He was much older, leaner and looked ill. But when he performed, it was like he was a young man once again. The energy and emotion was still there! He nurtured one of DISCO'S great voices, TEDDY PENDERGRASS, and imagine how hard that must have been. To maintain two huge egos, and talents,in one group, and never lose control is amazing. Harold wrote most of these songs as well, did you forget that? I could go on and on talking about one of my favorites, but I am going to go play DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY! Love ya Harold, GOD BLESS YOU!!!
