Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes

Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were one of the most popular Philly soul groups of the 1970s. Though ostensibly led by Melvin, Teddy Pendergrass was the lead singer from 1972 to 1976, and the most influential member of the group. They were signed to Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International label. Though they had several hits from 1972 to 1976, they dried up after the departure of Pendergrass in 1976. The group continued touring, however, until Melvin died in 1997.
