  • Tom Moulton's fabulous remix of Teddy's masterpiece. When Tom cut the final mix, there was a prominent conga line that starts at 5:16, which you can hear on this HD version. Because of a labeling problem, this version was never mastered and the version that was released on Tom's Philly Remix album was not the one Tom had planned....no congas. That mix is only available on this UA-cam channel, thanks to my friend Tom's generosity.

    Moulton invented the 12" single as well, by sheer accident. An engineer ran out of 7" discs for a test copy to give Moulton for his usual fix/mix magic. So the engineer used a 10" platter. Moulton thought it looked ridiculous to have a three minute song scrunched up at the edge and told the engineer to redo it with wider grooves. As soon as Moulton heard it, it was a revelation: Wider grooves made the lows and highs more distinct. Extended singles became industry practice almost immediately.

    Harold Melvin came from a time of excellence in all things. You didn't get a recording contract unless you had the chops to make it. You didn't get a hit unless you had a great sound, great production, fantastic backing musicians, the right look and the personality...AND of course, talent. What has happened is that drugs took over the industry.. and they didn't care about quality...Music today is depressing..just horrible noise. Those who don't remember the golden age of music...........probably the mid 50s to the mid 70s give or take, simply don't understand that there was a time just before them when everything went right. Life itself was a glorious thing to behold, and the music reflected it. Sad to say, it will not return............those who remember it, cherish those times. Those new to this music, consider yourselves lucky to be able to hear it on You Tube.

    When I was a kid we had the Beatles and musical groups on that order. My parents would ask us how we could listen to that noise. In the 70's and 80's we had the Tops and Temps, Harold Melvin with Teddy, the Stylistics, Dramatics and on and on. I bought all of their cassettes. Then CD's came out and I spent a fortune on them. When my neices and nephews heard my collection they said, how can you listen to that noise. They listen to rap music. I echo my parents. How do you listen to that noise? We have to live with our memories of our music. Everytime I hear those songs it brings back those great memories that we all should cherish. I do whether it's a mix or an original!

      @@bethvirginiaphillips4583 Hi Beth. I understand that you may have been exposed to a great deal of generic modern rap which has understandably left quite a bitter taste in your mouth, but PLEASE try not to tar all Rap/Hip Hop with that same brush. There's a whole world of meaningful, insightful hip hop music out there. I have learnt valuable lifelong lessons from this music - How to treat women with respect and dignity from sounds like "Royalty" by Gang Starr , wise lyrics speaking on methods of empowering our communities and uplifting our people by teachers like KRS One and Common. Artists like J Dilla taught me how to feel strong emotions through melody at an early age. There's more to it than what's shown on the TV and played on the radio.

      @@Dangizzle I guess what sounds good to someone may sound like fingernails on the blackboard noise to another. It is all a matter of personal preference. While I'm sure Rap is enjoyed by many in the Black community, I still prefer Motown, Brit Invasion.........and a whole array of 1960s sounds. We just had so much to choose from in that fabulous decade....from Dean Martin to the East Coast sounds of the Four Seasons, legitimate country, jazz...it was all there in the sixties like going to a fine buffet and choosing whatever original new sound was there on a given day. It was brilliant. I guess I will never be into Rap but do appreciate and honor your choice in music. That's what America is about....and speaking of the group America, I still love them! Now that's pretty music.

    By far one of the best remix jams I have ever heard! Smooth blend of tracks that we have not heard on the radio or the albums. You are right droopusmaximus...Moulton is a bad dude. Been remixing longer than anybody. FYI... those that do not know he invented the REMIX in the good ole 70's. I truly hope REAL music like this does not get ignored and buried. Would be such a shame. Music like this makes you smile, makes you move, makes you think, gets down in your heart and soul. You just feel it.

      He sure did. We know there was a Philadelphia Classics the first volume. Too bad there wasn’t a volume 2. This song would’ve been perfect on the album. Nothing like hearing the classic Philly sounds. We all know the artists, but let’s not forget the backbone of the great Philadelphia sounds. The house band MFSB, they became the East coast answer that comes across between Motown’s Funk Brothers, and California’s Wrecking Crew. Special thanks to Earl Young on the drums, Vince Montana on Vibes, Norman Harris on Guitar, and many others that made the Philly Sounds famous, and they helped put Disco on the mainstream.
