Harold Melvin

Wake Up Everybody

Satisfaction Guaranteed

The whole Worlds Laughin'

The Sound Of Philadelphia - (Teddy Pendergrass)

          

After the heady days of original soul Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes became very successful. A great act and had such a group been around in the mid sixties, without a doubt they would have been played extensively at the Manchester soul clubs. However, the 'Northern' scene ignored them as if they didn't exist. I wonder why. Could it be they were too popular? Too Easy to obtain their records? And if so it means that the Northern Soul scene had degenerated to a cult not a scene that liked great soul music but only rare soul music. Surely not.
