Pendergrass began his career as a drummer for The Cadillacs. The Cadillacs merged with Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes and Melvin soon invited Pendergrass to become the lead singer. After signing with Philadelphia International Records in 1972, the Blue Notes had hits such as “If You Don’t Know Me By Now,” “I Miss You,” “Bad Luck” and “Wake Up Everybody.” |
