Larry Brown R.I.P. 1944-2008

An original member of the rhythm-and-blues group Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes is dead.
Lawrence Lloyd Brown Sr. died Apr. 6 of a respiratory condition. He was 63. Word of his death comes from the Mitchum-Wilson Funeral Home.
Brown was still performing with the Blue Notes until January, when he became ill while singing at a show in Chester.
Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes are known for songs including "I Miss You," "If You Don't Know Me by Now," "The Love I Lost," "Bad Luck" and "Wake up Everybody."
Many people have forgotten that Simply Red's career-defining song is actually a cover version! Here is the original in all its true soul glory. This was the group's biggest hit, and made singer Teddy Pendergrass a star. Heartache, baby!
