    Some of these musicians, artists, and composers are no longer with us, but boy, did they leave something timeless and classic for us to enjoy for millennium.
    You had to be there in that reference of time when it was released. What a marvelous time to be alive.

      One day, we will have a conversation about a subject and talk about the topic without God and Jesus being injected.
      I'm not proselytizing. The subject was music.

    I dedicated this song to my daughter shortly after she was born in 1978. She recently went home to be with our lord and savior. I'm happy for her, but I miss her so much.

    What a great love ballad that only TP could sing and melt your heart with his soulful voice. . This recording never got the exposure it deserved from many Radio Stations in the 1970's.

    Back in 1975 i dedicated 'Pretty Flower' to my HS girlfriend cuz I thought it was soo pretty..She barely said thanks..the song never touched her Heart...we lasted 5 years...never made it thru the 6th year..that Pretty Flower wilted. I still love this song.

    I purchased this album just before we were deployed on Brigade 75-II to the F.R.G.(Federal Republic of Germany) in September '75. I'd been assigned to Charlie Company 1/66 Armor, 2D A.D. Ft. Hood, TX & was broken hearted. My 1st "True Love" had turned me down after I was hoping to be reunited with her. Sitting in those hot barracks & listening to this song reminded me of her & of our relationship. It seemed as if T.P. was singing the exact words & feelings which I'd said & felt to her on 27 May 1975. It took me some time to get over that pain of loss, but I did. As the lyrics state so plaintively, I would have done anything she'd have asked me to do, because she was & will forever be... My "Pretty Flower".

    For all you "Crooner Player Haters", before Gangsta Rap, and "Booty and BJ" lyrics, there was REAL MUSIC like this, that worked the woman's "mind", first. Might be a lost art, with some of this current set. RIP Teddy, the smooth original Blue Notes, w/ Harold Melvin of course. Smooth Grove, Old School Music Rules, forever

      Yes.

      Harold Melvin occasionally,
      but he and the other Bluenotes didn’t sing on the albums.
