Hope That We Can Be Together Soon - Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes


            I absolutely love this song. Been a favorite, and I am proud to say I can actually have it on rotation. Meaning I picked up this on vinyl, and awhile back over the summer. I loved the album, in fact it was the first one that I put on when Karl and I returned from my first ever day of digging! However, this became one of those tracks that I just skimped over. I have no idea why, perhaps I was just flying through the LPs to find what was dope and what would be fun to sample for my first time!
           This is seriously perfect. That nice slow intro of the absolute sweetest grooves. The piece that probably is most familiar to me ears it that boom-bip type of beat. Carries something you hear in a lot of hip-hop tracks nowadays. And Sharon Paige, the lovely lady featured on this LP, is the star on this track, a magnificent voice. Singing the hook that I can't help but sing along to, my god it is catchy. The tunes are so sweet throughout the track! The strings that bring out the power of the vocals are a treat. The horns are great too! I must say this is my idea of soul, every element is there. The sweet words and rhythms, and the emotion carried through each voice. When you can tell they are really belting it out and are truly one with the music, that is when I get inspired and really know they love what they are doing.

Short and sweet post, enjoy the classic!


And this was recorded onto my computer straight from the wax, I was pretty impressed with the quality, being this was a $1 record! And oh it is worth so much more!
