Philly soul staples Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were in full swing on 1975's Wake Up Everybody.
Sporting their trademark lush, string-laden production from Gamble and Huff (who also wrote about half the album's material), the smooth soul outfit delivers a mix of deep soul balladry and uptempo dance tracks.
The title track, with its socially relevant messages, is a standout.
There is no shortage of fine vocal performances all around, notably from Melvin and from future solo star Teddy Pendergrass.
