First Time Hearing Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes - I Miss You- 1973 Live REACTION🔥🔥🔥

A man can make you feel good for a night, but a real man can make you feel good for life

[@pd4104lang]

The late great Teddy Pendergrass on lead vocals, the reason Harold Melvin was jealous! 😂

[@byronhunter3991]

Big facts

[@carlitosortiz2870]

Jealous, on all their albums TP is pictured front & center plus the album would have the tittle : featuring Teddy Pendergrass.....Harold Melvin was the manager.

[@ProfitPathTV-zf6je]

@@carlitosortiz2870 Only ONE album ever said "Featuring Teddy Pendergrass." The last album Teddy did with Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes (Wake Up Everybody) did NOT say that. Teddy ultimately left because of fights with Harold Melvin over credit...and MONEY. Leaving was the best thing for him, because he absolutely blew up when he went solo, and this group eventually fell off the face of the earth.

[@carlitosortiz2870]

@@ProfitPathTV-zf6je Who's in the middle of all the album pictures, just cause TP made a business desicion that don't mean Harold Melvin was jealous, greedy yes but jealous?

[@carlitosortiz2870]

@@ProfitPathTV-zf6je the reason TP was the lead singer was because Harold Melvin put him at lead singer...you're statement about jealousy makes no sense. TP didn't write the songs that made the Bluenotes famous.

[@princedejour2686]

Teddy P is a legend! One of the greatest Lead vocalists to ever walk on this earth! Rest in Heaven Teddy P!!! Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes are a truly great R&B/ Soul group!!!!!

[@carlitosortiz2870]

Definitely not an over statement...dude was......well no words for now.

[@nikkisatchel4699]

teddy bear, is teddy Pendergrass, he used to be the lead singer for them before he went solo

[@SoldierOfDemocracy]

Nice video. I liked your reaction. The person singling lead in this song was Teddy Pendergast. I highly suggest listening and /or reacting to more of their songs. They had some great songs. Also, Teddy eventually went solo and had some great songs of his own, including Close The Door, Turn Off The Lights, T.K.O. and many more. His looks, music, and voice drove the ladies crazy. This group and era of music influenced me greatly.

[@qpeace1]

Teddy PenderGRASS!

[@virgilkennedy6692]

Teddy had a process in his hair, almost fooled me as to who he was.

[@paulrobinson3213]

Shout out to Lloyd Parks who murdered that falsetto opening.

[@VisionPoet]

Lloyd Parks sets this song off with the falsetto. Gives me goosebumps every time

[@kurtadams3021]

The LEGENDARY Blue Notes featuring THEODORE PENDERGRASS aka the voice

[@alsprettycreations8005]

The lead singer on this song is Teddy Pendergras. You should react to Teddy Pendergras song called... "You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration".

[@thuizar]

You are 100 percent correct - we have to put our women on a pedestal in our music like the past.

[@Boo-kw2bx]

different women, different times

[@BegodeEx30]

The women back then knew they were women, possessed genuine femininity & respected men & masculinity & all that entails. Blame the "strong independent don't need a man" women embraced for men ceasing to sing this way.

[@thuizar]

@@BegodeEx30 - I would agree with you for the most part, but I still blame us men for glorifying dominance, money, and power over women. It's not what a man is all about.

[@BegodeEx30]

@thuizar Besides the already greedy wealthy who are destroying this world the average man doesn't glorify money nor seek dominance over anyone, feminist minded women do that. Intelligent men only seek to be the very best man they individually can be, not in competition with anyone but the man in the mirror & only desire women to respect that. With that said, men will be wise not to pedestalize women, none are worthy of being glorified, glorification belongs to God Almighty alone, not some mortal flawed woman, nor mortal man.

Nothing like that 70's R&B

[@shontaemitchell7274]

The whole towns laughing at me is another good song

[@sonandsanford4963]

Theodore (Teddy) Pendergrass was the lead singer of the Blue Notes prior to his excellent solo career. One of my favorite songs by him which I still listening to often is "The whole towns laughing at me".

[@a.c.6475]

Teddy is singing lead on this track, every man back in the day had this on 8-track or cassette, we would play it after we messed up! You have an "old soul". God bless!

Lead singer Teddy & the one holding them notes Lloyd Parks I thank you from the depths of me ❤

[@migueltodd73]

I’m old timer, but I sure like your flow! This brings back memories.👍🏽

[@pnojazz]

That’s Teddy Pendergrass honey. Harold was the low life that stole from the group so Teddy Pendergrass went out on his own. Classic tune, and the soundtrack to my youth. I love your reaction videos, they’re so authentic!❤

[@cliftonparago4547]

The Lead singer was Teddy Pendegrass, now deciest. After going out on his own he was in a car accedent that left him without the use of his legs. Later after learning to drive a van with hand controls, he was in another crash that paraized himdown from the neck down. He died a few years after.

[@thewordkeeper]

I've looked at a few of your reactions and you really get it about how people sang from the heart back then. Like what Dennis Edwards (Rip) of The Temptations once said, "back in those days we sung about love." You're absolutely right about how the men back then sang about getting their woman back no matter what it took. Some months ago I was watching a couple of young folks react to *_The Temptations Ain't Too Proud to Beg._* When lead singer David Ruffin sang the lines: "If I have sleep on your doorstep all night and day just to keep you from walking away. Let your friends laugh even this I can stand. I want to keep you anyway I can." They weren't having it. They were like 'What? 'Sleep on your doorstep all night long?' Ain't no way. It ain't happenin.' Figuratively they just didn't get it. It wasn't so much about sleeping on the doorstep literally. The singer was letting his woman know that he was wrong and no matter how foolish it looked trying to get her back he's willing to go through it. So these young fellas today, not all of them, but a lot of them have no concept of what it means to hold on to their ladies.

[@miltonslocum8957]

Great request! There's so much great music from the 60' and 70's! We certainly slow danced to this tune holding each other close. There was a lot of baby making music back in the day🤗 By the way, that's Teddy Pendergrass singing lead. He went on to have a very successful solo career. You should react to Close The Door Teddy. Another baby making song 😊

[@leetheaarceneaux8151]

I can’t get over Teddy Pendergrass hair ! 😂

That's right! I'm a 70 's women back then you had to know how to sing or should I say "Sang!!

No that's not Harold Melvin. That's Teddy Pendergrass. Remember, at the beginning of the video, Harold call TeddyTeddy Bear. He was the lead singer of the group until he went solo. He went on to make hits like "Turn off the light" Close the Door' and "It don't hurt now" just to name a few.

TRUE re Harold Melvin

[@darrylstaves748]

Not to mention that Teddy P. was stealing the spotlight singing lead, and not Harold

[@ZAMBIQUE]

Stealing all the guys money! They went on tour Teddy go to the hotel Melvin had a 100s of thousands under the mattress Teddy said we need some $ Melvin” he gave him a stack and said don’t tell them! Fvcked up Bro! He felt like he was the brains but Teddy was the group! Melvin was a fvcked up dude! That’s y he changed the name to Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes! He wanted ppl to think he was Teddy! But HuFF and Gamble Snatched up Teddy! Harold was so jealous of Teddy for Leaving! Wished death on him etc. he created the ruffle!

[@ZAMBIQUE]

@@darrylstaves748That’s y he changed the name to Harold Melvin! Once he did that he can change the dynamics of how much he gets. It was very crafty bc he knew TP was the one! Ppl for yrs thought he was Teddy Although Harold could sing he wasn’t Teddy!!!!!
