    "comment": "Rev's 3 AM Slow Jam of the Week <3\n--\nA self-taught pianist, as a teenager in 1953, Melvin began singing doo-wop with a vocal ensemble called the Charlemagnes. The following year, 1954, he established a quintet, the Blue Notes gathering together Bernard Williams, Roosevelt Brodie, Jesse Gillis, Jr., and Franklin Peaker. In 1972, the group now known as Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were on tour with the Cadillacs, whose young percussionist was Theodore “Teddy” Pendergrass. Later in 1972 Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes released their first album on the Philadelphia International label, I Miss You.  It featured a single of the same name that became a signature recording for the group with Pendergrass as the lead vocalist. \n--\nR.I.P., Harold Melvin, who died last year at age 57: https://www.nytimes.com/1997/03/27/arts/harold-melvin-57-led-the-blue-notes-to-success-in-the-70-s.html",
