ReStructure Mix Update (12/9/17) "Bad Luck” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes




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.
