A.k.a. The Blue Notes (3) The Harps
Soul - funk - disco male vocal quintet from Philadelphia, PA. Originally named The Blue Notes (3) from the mid-50s, they changed their name to "Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes" in the mid-60s. One of the original member Bernard Williams (3) then started his own group The Original Blue Notes. Became one of the most popular soul acts of the Philly soul scene of the '70s.
