• Track Listing

Long before Teddy Pendergrass joined and sent them soaring up the charts, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes were already one of the greatest vocal groups in the land. This spotlight on their early days brings you most of their 1953–62 tracks including Josie releases and their first hit: 1960’s "My Hero," originally issued by the VAL-UE label. That joins "She Is Mine," "The Letter," "Wagon Wheels," "Hey Doc," "Blue Star," the Blue Notes release "Too Hot to Handle," the Bernie Williams releases "Don’t Tease Me," "Why Fool Yourself" and more!
