So many memories from 1974. I was a 19 yr old United States Marine on Okinawa. I received the Dreaded Dear John Letter from my cute girlfriend back in the States. This song helped me get over her. But on 21 March 1981, I married the cutest lady and we're still married, 43 yrs.
Better days to come 🫴 to you too 🌹🌹💐🪷💐🪷🌸💮🌺🥀🌷🌺🥀🌷🌺 good luck 🤞 to her and The Red ♥️🍒 socks 🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦 My heart ❤️ was ripped out to maybe 🤔 will both be happier with out them you never know what God is going to bless us with My friend 😘🌷🌺🌲🌹💐🪷🌸💮🥀🥀
Teddy and Harold are deceased, but the fella that took Teddy's place does a fantastic job! I saw them, along with a handful of other Philly Soul groups in concert! Fabulous show! No other music compares to Classic Soul! Philly Soul, Motown, Chess, Brunswick, Atlantic, Stax, Volt etc, etc!
Teddy's presence was a combination of his soulful emotions he brought plus his charisma that came through his smile and expressions. The guys brought a lot of that feeling in this performance.
On this day in 1974 {January 26th} Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes performed "The Love I Lost" on the late Dick Clark 's 'American Bandstand'... Four months earlier on September 29th, 1973 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #7 and spent 18 weeks on the Top 100... And on November 24th, 1973 it reached #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart... R.I.P. Mr. Melvin {1939 - 1997}, lead singer Teddy Pendergrass {1950 - 2010}, and Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}
A few weeks ago i saw these guys live and was blown away, i always thought after group members leave or pass away i just didn't give the new guys a chance but i was wrong....They sound great and there keeping Harold melvins blue notes MUSIC alive, SALUTE!!!
69 today still dancing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx been out today with my lovely jane love her so very much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx my women xxxxxxxxxx
I strongly believe this song sounds greeeaat with the actual Blue Notes, and Big Daddy`s voice is nothing, I mean nothing less than the best ! Plus his great personality on stage.
Escuché y recordé UUUUTTT, recuerdos tan padres, estaba en la secun, mis grandes amiguísimos que nunca volví a ver, pero amigos de verdad: tetos, islas, jasso, irma, a mi gran amor de la secun Martha Téllez, a la de música de la que estaba perdidamente enamorado y mil cosas más, parece que fue ayer. Soy muy afortunado por haber disfrutado cada etapa de mi vida. La de hoy es maravillosa, asentado totalmente y feliz con los míos. Lástima que no pueda escribir todo mi sentir QUE HERMOSA ES LA VIDA
I will give them credit, they sound exactly like the original line up although the group line up has changed over the years. This is still an incredible live performance of "The Love I Lost", no doubt about it. The lead singer has an incredible bass voice. Smooth and soulful. Definitely a credit to Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and I'm sure Melvin would be proud. RIP Melvin. And yes, I agree with a comment below, you can't replace Teddy Pendergrass. All in all, great performance!
I love all music but not many songs have given me as much pleasure as this brilliantly sung always fills the dancefloor thank God for the pleasure of music
Excelente..! Su voz se aprecia tal como era la melodìa del grande de Teddy Pendergrass. Harold Melvin group se mantiene y sus canciones inigualable. Vale la pena recordar tan bellas melodìas. Un saludo cordial para todos.
I realize this is essentially a cover band comptaed to the originals, but they sound terrific and do great justice to the original Blue Notes. This lead singer loses little compared to Teddy Prendergrass. Doing a great justice keeping the sound alive. Bravo!!!
I feel like I m still spinning my partner around the dance floor in 1976. This song was released in 1973, but lasted the entire disco era. It is still amazing,...... and I am 70 folks,.... still doing the Latin Hustle!
With all due respect, and I LOVE Teddy P but this guy can sing also! Not sure of his name but he BRINGS it! TRUST me, I LOVE Teddy, but give this guy his due! He's NOT a scrub!
so many times here in the uk we get local motown night themed disco reunion's yet to me the philly sound was better by far i't's about time we had local philly nights reunions for once.
ESSA MUSICA MARCOU MINHA VIDA DE MUSICO.......A BANDA ZUTRIK......TOCAVA NO CLUBE SURIAN...E ... O ....SOUL..... ARREBENTAVA.... Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes - ...LOVE
Now you can get up and dance !!!!!! Wow back in the good ole days...we can say this in our time ! .........the west coast flying our birds the Rollers !!! flyumhightloft HAYWARD CAL
And let me clarify what I said to Detroitbob! Harold DID sing lead sometime but the HUGE HITS came with Teddy out front! Teddy was actually a drummer before singing lead!
i feel like a tratior to my beloved teddy pendergrass but i agree with you and the first guy from the right i love to see him dance, and for those who think that old age is a disease, shame on you.
This man is the closest that I ever heard sound like Teddy Pendergrass and that is TRUE!!!!!
He is great saw him I liked Teddy he was fantastic but he has great charisma also
Yes I agree. I thought it was Teddy.
LOVE this song. Loved Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes for over 50 years. The good old 70's.❤❤
Loved the 70's! Best years for me. I was wild and free!
