Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes were one of the dynamic groups that came out of Gamble and Huff's Sound of Philadelphia and went on to become one of the most popular acts of the 1970s. Led by Sugarbear Aikens, "The Legendary Bluenotes" carry on this long-standing tradition of excellence. Working with famed Philly Soul producer Butch Ingram in the past few years, the group has released a handful of singles and a few critically acclaimed full-length albums including the excellent holiday album, "This Christmas," which was one of the most outstanding holiday releases of 2022. Sugarbear & The Legendary Bluenotes decided to up the ante this year with a special Christmas EP, perfect fare for roasting chestnuts on an open fire. With Sugarbear front and center, and the Legendary Bluenotes firing on all cylinders, these cherished classics come to life with a modern soulful edge that will beg repeated listening.
