Led by Harold Melvin, they formed as early as 1954, but struggled for many years until they finally broke through in 1972, thanks to then-new lead singer Teddy Pendergrass. With the addition of Pendergrass, and the orchestral productions that Gamble & Huff supplied them with, the group found success with such tracks as "I Miss You", "If You Don't Know Me By Now", and "The Love I Lost". Together with The Spinners, The O'Jays and The Delfonics, among others, they helped to define the philly sound. In 1976, Pendergrass left for a solo career, and the Blue Notes were not able to sustain their success for long without him, though they continued to record until 1984.

Hope That We Can Be Together Soon
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm away from you, boy
All I seem to do is cry
And then when I see you, boy
My, how the time does fly
I don't know if you need and love me
The way I love and need you

I hope that we can be together soon

I hope that we can be together soon
I hope that we can be together soon
Real soon
Can you make it real soon?

When I think about you, girl
Chills run up and down my spine
And if my wish would come true, girl
I'd be with you all the time
Wrong or right, day and night I'm gonna miss you
All my lonely heart seems to do

I hope that we can be together soon (Maybe tomorrow)
I hope that we can be tegether soon (Maybe tomorrow)
I feel that we can be together soon
But will you make it real soon? (I can't wait)
Can you make it real soon? (I can't wait, I can't wait)

I hope that we can be together
I swear I can't wait any longer

Every day my love grows stronger
Ooh, baby

Overall Meaning

In the song "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon" by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, the lyrics speak of the pain and longing that the singer experiences when they are away from their loved one. The first verse describes how the singer cries when they are apart from their partner but time flies when they are together. The second verse talks about the physical reaction, a chill running up and down the singer's spine, when they think about their love interest. It is clear that the singer's love for their partner is strong and they are hoping and wishing for a chance to be together soon.

The chorus of the song repeats the hope and longing for a reunion, asking if they can make it real soon. The repetition adds to the urgency and desperation the singer is feeling. The final verse shows the depth of the singer's love, swearing that they can't wait any longer and that their love grows stronger each day. The song is a classic representation of the power and pain of love and how it can make us feel when we are apart from those we care about.

My, how the time does fly
Time passes quickly when we're together

I don't know if you need and love me

I hope that we can be together soon
I want us to be together soon

There is something special about us black people, and can hear in our music! That’ s something the racist can never take away!

@WhosieWhatNow

11w↑8

I'm white and 64 years old. In my teens (all through the 70s) I didn't really appreciate R&B/Soul music, as I was a typical white teen rock music consumer back in the great days of 70s soul. Don't get me wrong, the obvious huge songs were appealing to me.
Honey Cone, The Three Degrees, Freda Payne and many more, but I didn't pay enough attention to it, being that white teen.
As I got older, I appreciate that great music so much more. It is timeless music.
I will also state that I never cared for disco as a genre, although it grew out of R&B/Soul, but just found it more of a formula than the true musicianship that went into the earlier music.
As to racism, as the saying goes in some football team hatred, "They hate us 'cause they ain't us." If people show contempt, it's more likely jealousy that they can't do it as well.

Happy days to you, cd5516.

How can you tell that there is no lipsycing? Pure talent, to be sure, although I must say that Teddy Pendergrass puts Harold Melvin in the shade. But most of those singers on television in the 1970's were lipsyncing. And why not? It did not diminish their talent, which is what really matters.

@JohnLomax-fu9qj

@@vegasmitch1472 I have seen a video of Al Green on Soul Train that seemed to be live, but you are right. Most acts on Soul Train were lipsynced. This song by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon," tracks the recorded version note for note in its voices, intonations, phrasing, instrumentals, and arrangement. All but impossible to do without lipsyncing. But so what? A great performance by a great group.

“Hope that we can be together soon” and “When will I see you again” sings the love we all desire into our hearts. They manifest what the nickname of Philadelphia
Exemplifies. Gamble and Huff were the best R&B producers period in the early to mid 70’s in my opinion along with Thom Bell. The Philly sound was strong from 1967-1977.

This song was released in '74. I was born in '75. My dad always blasted his stereo with these old school melodies when I was a kid, and still do. There's nothing like 70s music, it gets me on a euphoric high. I wish I was a teenager in this era!

I lived through this area of music and when I tell you that we had some good times we had them we may have been dirt poor but we had good times when it came to our music. I grew up in the sixties and seventies but my teenage years was the seventies and it was great times for music we listen to everything and everyone on television and the radio. When I tell you that all was good it was. So keep on listen brother and enjoy all that great music that I grew up on. God bless you and your family.
