Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes - To be true - Philadelphia International

Brilliant recordings, one of the most potent and powerful voices in soul music!

Four Shades - My World

Sensations - It's a new day

Exits - Another Sundown in Watts

Rotations - We need Freedown

Final Solutions - We can work it out
