Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were an American soul and R&B vocal group. One of the most popular Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. Founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the group is most noted for several hits on Gamble and Huff’s Philadelphia International label between 1972 and 1976, although they performed and recorded until Melvin’s death in 1997.
Following the passing of Harold Melvin, Donnell Gillespie was approached by his widow and invited to be one of “Harold Melvin’s Blue Notes” which were formed to keep Melvin’s music and memory alive.

As always daba, thx for the info.
Thanks Flash for this nice one. Thanks Daba for the information.
The music on this album ( strong blues influence) is quite different from Harold Melvin's music.
And, to keep things interesting, there is also (according to Discogs) another Big Daddy & The Blue Notes.
BIG DADDY - Montana's Premier Blues Artist Steve 'BIG DADDY' Kelley picked up the guitar at the tender age of ten years old and turned professional at sixteen in 1964, playing rock & soul music. He was turned on to the blues by listening to the Rolling Stones and John Mayall. Checking into the authors of the tunes these bands were covering began a life-long research into blues tradition and an ensuing deep love of the music and culture. BIG DADDY toured extensively in the late 1960's and 1970's, sharing the bill with many top American acts, including Paul Butterfield, Canned Heat, James Cotton, and Steppenwolf. He put down roots in the Flathead Valley of Montana in 1977 with his wife, Mary Ann, to raise their children, as he continued to play locally and regionally. It was Madison Slim, long time harmonica player for the legendary Jimmie Rogers, who talked Big Daddy into touring again. They formed the Nightcrawlers in 1990 and tore it up for the next two years. Slim went back with Jimmie in 1992, and Big Daddy formed the Blue Notes. BIG DADDY and the BLUE NOTES play upbeat Chicago style blues, firmly rooted in the tradition of the great masters of the 1950's and 1960's, such as MUDDY WATERS, MAGIC SAM, SLIM HARPO, LITTLE WALTER, HOWLIN' WOLF, and SUNNY BOY WILLIAMSON II. Out of this tradition, Big Daddy and the Blue Notes have fashioned their own style of driving shuffle, sensual mambo, and hold-on-to-your hat boogie woogie that puts their audiences into a dancing frenzy! Their '96 release 'NIGHTSHIFTER' CD heralded rave reviews. To mark the band's Tenth Anniversary, a long awaited new studio CD project, 'Blue & White', is in the works, slated for a July release. Big Daddy often calls upon keyboard wizard Chuck Cummings, Sax master Fred Jones or the amazing Missoula Phil Harmonica for an even bigger sound. Add these virtuosos to Big Daddy's long time bassist Mark 'Sparky' Meznarich and drummer Marshall Noice and it adds up to be one world class blues band!
@Smokey You are right. Thanks for additional information so I could research and correct the information. 🤙💙🎼😎
OK Daba, your comment made me look a little further and now everything seems clear. Thank you for your research.
