The group formerly known as The Charlemagnes took on the name “The Blue Notes” in 1954,
with a lineup consisting of lead singer Harold Melvin (born June 25, 1939 in Philadelphia,
died March 24, 1997), Bernard Williams, Roosevelt Brodie, Jesse Gillis, Jr., and Franklin Peaker.
The group recorded for a number labels without success from its inception into the 1960s.
The 1960 single “My Hero” was a minor hit for Val-ue Records, and 1965’s “Get Out (and Let Me Cry)”
was an R&B hit for Landa Records. During this period, the group’s lineup changed frequently, with
Bernard Williams leaving the act to start a group called “The Original Blue Notes”, and Harold Melvin
bringing in new lead singer John Atkins.
In 1970, the group recruited Teddy Pendergrass as the drummer for their backing band. Pendergrass
had been a former member of The Cadillacs, and was promoted to lead singer when John Atkins quit
the group the same year.
This incarnation of the group, including Melvin, Pendergrass, Bernard Wilson, Lawrence Brown, and
Lloyd Parks, were signed to Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff’s Philadelphia International label in 1972,
and scored several major R&B hits over the next four years. Among the Blue Notes’ most important and
successful recordings are love songs such as “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” (1972, their breakout single),
“I Miss You” (1972), “The Love I Lost” (1973), and “Don’t Leave Me This Way” (1975), and socially
conscious songs such as “Wake Up Everybody” and “Bad Luck” (both 1975). “Bad Luck” holds the record
for longest-running number-one hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart: eleven weeks. A 1976 cover
