Music reviews of Essential Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes
Music Review: classic--and a wonderful place to start as well
Rating: 5 Stars
Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes made some of the best Philly soul/pop music ever; and just one listen to this album proves it! Of course, their collaboration with Teddy Pendergrass was flawless; Teddy's passing away really makes me think of the days when this music was just hitting the airwaves. It certainly brings back memories!
There's so much fine music here that everything glows bright; but there are some songs that are my personal favorites. "Wake Up Everybody" features Teddy Pendergrass singing squarely front and center--which is quite all right by me! That music adds a wonderful feel to this song and it's hard to forget this awesome tune. "Don't Leave Me This Way" sounds as terrific as it ever did; Teddy's excellent diction bolsters his performance even more. Thelma Houston did a great job covering this but Teddy along with the rest of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes really outdo even themselves on this number; this music leaves nothing to be desired--it's all THAT good.
Other great songs include the very dynamic "The Love I Lost" which made the airwaves sizzle; "If You Don't Know Me By Now" with that beautiful music to accompany the vocals and "Bad Luck" with that amazing beat--what an exceptional song this is! In addition, "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon" with Sharon Paige really is another standout--it shows just how versatile these performers were--the slower, softer feel to this ballad works wonders for it. "I Miss You" is quite a torch song; and listen also for "Yesterday I Had the Blues" with that percussion, guitar and more that rounds out this song as Teddy and the band ace this as effortlessly as if it were mere breathing! Of course, we know it really wasn't all that easy; their talents carried them through every time.
"Satisfaction Guaranteed (Or Take Your Love Back)" has Teddy Pendergrass singing at his very best with the rest of the vocalists doing an outstanding job; and I also like the relentlessly upbeat and joyous "Tell the World How I Feel About 'Cha Baby." The CD ends strong with "Keep On Lovin' You;" this is one brilliant last number that leaves me wanting more!
Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes had a great deal of talent; and when Teddy Pendergrass worked with them everything was even brighter! This is a great CD for fans of Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes; and Teddy Pendergrass fans will be very pleased with this album, too.
