Easy Like Sunday Morning - If You Don't Know Me by Now by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes

Today's Easy Like Sunday Morning Track is If You Don't Know Me by Now by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. This is off of their 1972 debut album I Miss You. Despite the groups name giving Harold top billing, Teddy Pendergrass was the lead singer and the most famous of the group.

The song was written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff and was originally supposed to be recorded by Labelle, a trio headed up by Patti Labelle. When they passed on it, the composers gave the song to Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. Later in the 80s, the song was covered by the English band Simply Red on their 1989 album The New Flame.

Thanks for the suggestion Billy Munn.


Here is the Simply Red version.
