The Ebonys’ second LP (the first was on Philadelphia International)
doesn’t have the highs of the Gamble & Huff production, but it doesn’t
have the lows, namely “Sexy Ways” and “Hook Up and Get Down,”
either. Their only Buddah hit “Makin’ Love Ain’t No Fun,” charted at
number 83 in 1976 but didn’t make this party for some inexplicable
reason. The label did, however, include that song’s successor,
“Neighborhood Gossip,” which made some club noise but didn’t chart.
There’s some heavy soul wailing on “If You’re in Need,” and “Mr. Me,
Mrs. You,” which producer Tony Camillo did again with Creme
D’Cocoa; Jennifer Holmes, who co-leads it here, did the same on the
Creme D’Cocoa version, a group whose lineup included Holmes and
three former Ambassadors (“I Really Love You”). The other Ebonys
were David Beasley, James Tuten, and Clarence Vaughn. Also
contained here is a torchy rendition of Average White Band’s “A Love
of Your Own.”

The Blue Notes are:
Bernie Wilson, John Atkins, Larry Brown and Lloyd Parks. When Harold
Melvin left PIR, Teddy went on to his fantastic solo career. Melvin
formed a new set of Blue Notes. Bernie, Larry & Lloyd formed their
own set of Blue Notes, adding Atkins to make it a foursome. As far as
I know this was their only album. More info can be found here:

Although this is a CD rip, it’s obvious by the sound quality this was
taken straight from the album, not the master tapes. (DAP)

From DustyGroove

A strange but great chapter of The Blue Notes – working here without
Harold Melvin or Teddy Pendergrass, but still sounding pretty great on
their own! This version of The Blue Notes is a male quartet – not the
Melvin group with Sharon Paige who were recording for ABC – and they
get some fresh help in the studio from George Perry, who brings in this
soaring groove that still echoes earlier Philly work, but also has a bit
more of a clubby vibe overall! The style’s never disco, but makes for
some great uptempo soul – the sort that really lets the group’s
wonderful vocal style soar strongly – a rich blend that’s totally great
even without Teddy, and which has a great mix of raspy leads and
warm harmonies. Titles include the wicked jazzy dancer “The Girl
Makes Me Wanna Sing” – plus “It’s Over”, “Memories”, “Standing By
You Girl”, “People Are Running Around”, and “The Truth Has Come To
Light”.
