  • Here’s a show I was hired to do the music production on for PBS that featured Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, Dee Dee Sharp, The Majors and The Silhouettes. After all these years I still had a VHS copy and proud to had worked with so many talented artist and musicians that I grew up listening to that night. Watch at the very end where the guys do a promo for WHYY. More to come.....Enjoy!

    Thank you so much for this beautiful concert of one of my most favorite groups. Mr. Saunders did an incredible job of recreating the sound and as he brought his own unique flavor. Not an easy thing to do while constantly being compared with someone else. Everyone has their own unique voice so he could not be Teddy no more than Teddy could be him. The whole group did exceptionally well in my humble opinion. It was nice that everyone was able to get a little shine. I hope you have more gems like this to post. Thanks again.

      I could not believe that people thought Teddy pendergrass was you Harold Melvin. No matter how many guys try to sing like Teddy pendergrass. It's going to be a tough act to follow.
      You have a lot of women who loves tall and dark skin men. I especially if he's a clean cut, kind of Guy. I would think about
      Him, to being my found Teddy pendergrass 🥰

      @@margiestreater5959 When in this concert did Harold Melvin 'try' to sound like Teddy Pendergrass?
      It appears, at least on this post, that YOU thought Teddy Pendergrass was Harold Melvin, or vice-versa. Harold Melvin isnt confused_____he was the one who hired Teddy in the first place to be a drummer, then as the featured soloist for the group.
      Harold Melvin has owned this group since the late 50's and knows what he is doing. I'm just saying that I think you are the one is confused as to the roles on the group.

Gil had his own group but in the end, and with Teddy’s persuasion, Gil took the position.In 1982..at 13:48 in this video, you’ll hear Bill introduce Gil as the answer to all their prayers. Gil held the group together for over 10 years.
