{"product_id":"black-blue-1","title":"Black \u0026 Blue","description":"Harold Melvin \u0026amp; the Blue Notes' second album found the group continuing to ride its early peak, featuring the hit \"The Love I Lost\" (in a six-minute version longer than the one that made the pop Top Ten) and an additional Top Ten R\u0026amp;B hit in \"Satisfaction Guaranteed (Or Take Your Love Back).\" The album and its \"The Love I Lost\" single also became milestones for Gamble \u0026amp; Huff productions and Philadelphia soul in general for introducing the dance groove that became so integral to disco. But while the two hits and \"Is There a Place for Me\" were forceful uptempo tracks, they were balanced by a good number of effective ballads, the only misstep (and a most curious one) being the decision to lead off the album with a cover of \"Cabaret.\" The 2010 CD reissue adds the \"Pt. 1\" single versions of \"The Love I Lost\" and \"I'm Weak for You\" as bonus tracks, and, more importantly, very interesting liner notes spotlighting detailed recollections by MFSB guitarist Bobby Eli. ~ Richie Unterberger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868848640287,"sku":"886976077822","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/4174714bdbfcbae07f85b3790fc28aa9.jpg?v=1777843367","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/black-blue-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
