Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes featuring Theodore Pendergrass: To Be True (Philadelphia International KZ 33148)

Tom Nolan, Phonograph Record, March 1975

THIS EXCITING album by a veteran group (so experienced in working together they seem to anticipate each other's moves) is characterized by masterful use of dynamics, infectious rhythms and harmonies, and material especially well-suited to the dramatic Blue Note vocalizing led by Theodore Pendergrass.
