Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - I Should Be Your Lover (Airplay Version) b/w I Should Be Your Lover (X-Rated Version) (1980)

Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were an American R&B/Soul vocal group, one of the most popular Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. The group's repertoire included soul, R&B, doo-wop, and disco. Founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the middle of the 1950s as The Charlemagnes, the group is most noted for several hits on Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International label between 1972 and 1976.
Source Records believed enough in H. Melvin & his Blue Notes to back them to album release.
Keep in mind that once Teddy Pendergrass left the group, for a solo career, Philly Intl. Records unceremoniously released Harold and the remaining group members. It wasn't the easiest going for the group and changing members thereafter. If listening to urban radio stations during time of this release, how can one not remember the now sought after song "I Should Be Your Lover"?
This is the best music ever, the lyrics the melody all made with real instruments and the artist sang from the heart. bands like the stylistic the dramatics, Delfonic's, four tops, blue magic, chilite's, Temptations etc. etc. etc.
All had the right notion of the meaning of love & heart ache. I'm sure everyone can relate bcuz we've all experienced this feeling in our lives.
