HAROLD MELVIN'S BLUE NOTES ON TOUR:
More than a decade after their namesake's passing, Harold Melvin's Blue Notes continue to epitomize classic Philly soul with their smooth harmonies, slick style, and nostalgic live performances. The group amassed a string of No. 1 hits in the '70s, and timeless classics like "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and "Wake Up Everybody" are as vital and moving today as they were 40 years ago. After nearly two decades apart the group reunited in 2013 for the Soul Train Cruise, and they continue to take fans down memory lane with career-spanning sets of their romantic hits on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Harold Melvin's Blue Notes got their start in the '50s as The Charlemagnes, adopting the new moniker only after recruiting lead singer Harold Melvin in 1954. They achieved minor success throughout that decade and the '60s, but things really picked up in 1970 with the addition of Teddy Pendergrass -- a vocalist whose contributions to the band ultimately eclipsed those of Melvin himself. With Pendergrass singing lead vocals, The Blue Notes racked up several chart topping albums and singles during the mid-'70s, including epochal No. 1's like "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and "The Love I Lost". Despite their popularity, the band's lineup continued to shift throughout the '70s and '80s, and in 1996 they called it quits after Harold Melvin suffered a debilitating stroke. The group made a triumphant return to the stage in 2013 for the Soul Train Cruise, performing with original member Lloyd Parks -- a seasoned veteran who continues to join the group on their unforgettable tours.
Sound and the performance for all three groups were great. Groups included the blue notes/lakeside/brick. Our seats were up front. Loved it looking forward to attending another concert @ lock 3.
This was an excellent experience showing the Legends still have what it takes.
We like the old school music. We got a chance to dance and sing to our favorite songs. We also got a chance the be close to the stage to touch singers. It was a very good night for my wife and me.
The 70's tour came on the wrong weekend.There were graduations and other events going on around the city of Raleigh.Let along Father's Day weekend.They definitely took away from the concert.Bad timing and planning on the promoters part.Durham,NC is the urban city.Will always be but show should appeal to the masses.Concert nice but no crowd.It felt flat and dead.Harold Melvin Blue notes awesome.They performed!!!!!!! Thank you for the experience.
The microphone cord wasnt long enough for the performers. I believe a cordless microphone should be in plc.
They still got it wonderful night still sounds good
The performance was excellent, Excellent venue. Bring more of the same music. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
I saw them a year ago....and they brought back great memories. Excited to see them again in Atlantic city
From beginning to end it was non stop fun and enjoyment.I loved all the artists there and couldn't ask for more.
Variety of artists was expansive. Great value for your concert dollar. 3 1/2 hour show. Franz Joli and Disco Unlimited were the best. Lime a close second, very energetic set! A few unannounced guests were very good. Carl Carlton was excellent. The rest were good. Overall a fun night! This was our second Jingle Bell Bottom Ball.
