Harold
Melvin and The Blue Notes set the Philly-sound on fire in the early
70s. One of the first signs of disco music in its exquisite form from
producers Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff who brought soul music a new
edge. “Bad Luck” is one of the Philly classics that best outline the
power of soulful vocals and the smooth orchestrations of the 70s with
funky band players. This track features Teddy Pendergrass on lead vocals
and The Blue Notes following his incredible lead. A rousing experience
from an early period and indication that music was heading in a new
direction.
I
have taken the album version of “Bad Luck” and re-edited and reworked
parts of the classic for a ReStructure Mix with all of the looping and
fast-phasing to make this one a whole new play. It uses the piano riffs
which soon became the house music of the 80s to pull move rhythm and
moves from this dance event.
