Oh how I remember when this was released. It was never released as a single so you had to purchase the album in order to get it. The album was titled "WAKE UP EVERYBODY" and this cut was on side 1 [or side A] of the album. The album itself was released in November of 1975. I was not even a teenager yet. But I absolutely LOVED this song. So much that I memorized every word to it. I still know it to this day.
Great and lovely. From 1975. Reminds of "You Take My Love Away" composed by Bill Conti, music in the film Rocky sung by DaEtta Little & Nelson Pigford, from 1976 I think. Also tempo, rhythm, melody reminds about William DeVaughn "Be Thankful For What You Got" from 1972.
@healhurt True about William Devaughn - Be thankful for What you Got, could also add here, Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes - To be True, The Impressions - Sooner or Later, The Dramatics - I Cried All The Way Home, Donny Hathaway - Love, Love, Love maybe even Marvin Gaye - Mercy Me (The Ecology....all nice groovy soul.
I almost forgot, you should check out "After You Love Me, Why Do You Leave Me" which was released after TP left. Harold and Sharon make beautiful music on that song too.
This is the jam of all jams along w/Sharon Paige God Bless her, I just listening to all the Blue Notes music it just take you back when "life was worth living." another Teedy P joint!!

@BBSatin13 She was definitely underrated. I saw her Harold & the Bluenotes in 1976,or '77. Harold really looked stressed. This was when Teddy left the group, and the other guy came in. It seems that after TP left, the group had declined - probably due to the the big brass at PIR. There should be an Unsung on the entire group. On TP's Unsung, Harold wasn't so right, either. Still a great song though.
For all of you non-music folks, Teddy only had one-line in this song, but ad-libs throughout! The main parts of this song are sung by S. Page and H. Melvin! Let's get that straight! That said, Teddy was a BEAST! In my opinion, the GOAT!
this is a song to dedicate to the one that lives in your heart,the words speak for themselves, its the person you want to say i do and take their hand in holy matrimony, and spend the rest of your life with them,ive waited all my life for an angel like her, she is "GODS " to me, and i love her so much because my life has never been the same and my heart has never beat the same, i love you baby,,,, god bless you because :GOD" already blessed me with you living in my heart, ..
Taking me back to a time when things where so simple. listen to the radio before going to school and going to sleep with it on. sound timeless song.[and if you had five dollars in your pocket you was saying something:-))]
This is so beautiful, classic songs like this simply make any true music lover want to cry........the lyrics are on point, instrumental arrangement on point. What more could one ask for, I feel blessed knowing that I am able to appreciate timeless music such as this, call me an old timer( and i aint even that old ) but truth be told they don't make music with so much emotion like this these days.Thank you nyseamex for uploading
I love this song. It's beautiful, romantic, nice and slow, the lyrics are awesome. This song make you wanna chill with a glass of wine. This song bring back a lot of memories.
Go ahead on, this is REAL MUSIC. Music that withstand the ages, I have always loved this song and it sounds as good today as when it was first made. Thanks for the great music

Okay, some folks were jammin this song real loud outside in their car, i heard it, and I was typing up the lyrics to it while I was listening and here I am. Great song!
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever....i first heard it on Carlito's Way (2005 Edition) with Jay Hernandez and Mario Van Peebles. Sharon Paige was off the chain and Harold was too.
Cant get much better than the Philly sound.The lush arrangements,the harmonies,the strings OMG :) I have not heard this tune since the early 90s thx to most of the radio stations going corporate & playing the mainstrem crap.Thanks youtube,what would we do without you?
Yo...Fella's....Ladies....If you don't know how to tell them....play this cut...100% they will get it.....how can anyone not?!!!....OMG listen to this one Ya'll!!!!(over and over)
@afiggiani1558 Actually, this song features Harold Melvin, Sharon Paige, and Teddy Pendergrass. Harold sings on the verse, and Teddy on the bridge. They switched off leads on a few songs. Teddy's voice was much heavier. Great cut!!!
Its amazing..but although the group is called Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes..He was Not the lead singer..the female singing is Sharon Page..and the male is Teddy Pendergrass..which lead most of the songs..and hits..no wonder Teddy quit. he had to split the money evenly with the other members yet HIS voice is the main one we heard. I would have quit too. He didnt need the blue notes.
