RECORDS
Independent American label: Source Records was a subsidiary of
MCA, and was devoted to Soul and Disco records. It was more prolific in
the States than it was in Britain: over here it seems to have initially managed
only five singles, which came out in 1979-80. Numbering was in the
SRC-100s, starting at SRC-100. Lee Moore's, 'Reachin' Out For Your Love
(SRC-100; 10/79) was popular on the dance floor but failed to crack the
Charts. Manufacture and distribution were by EMI. A couple
more singles appeared in 1985-85, with black labels and numbers in a SOURCE-0
series. Distributed By Mca Records. 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 The group formerly known as The Charlemagnes took on the name "The Blue
Notes" in 1954, with a lineup consisting of lead singer Franklin Peaker,Bernard
Williams, Roosevelt Brodie, Jesse Gillis, Jr., and Harold Melvin, the group is
most noted for several hits on Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International
label between 1972 and 1976, although they performed and recorded until Melvin's
death in 1997. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
