by Craig Lytle Even though Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were an R&B group with much soul, the message in their music was truly profound, uplifting, thought provoking, and full of love. This album featured only two singles. The title track is a plea to the world to come together and rid the society of all its ills. Written by the prolific writing team of McFadden/Whitehead/Carstarphen, it conveys a message in line with the ideology of the album's producers. The connection felt when listening to the song permeates the soul, and will momentarily produce thoughts in one to make a change. This is a very moving song. It held on to the number one spot on the Billboard R&B charts for two consecutive weeks. The aggressive arrangement of &Tell the World How I Feel About 'Cha Baby& carried it to number seven on the charts. Other notables are &Keep on Lovin' You,& &To Be Free to Be Who We Are,& and &I'm Searching for a Love.& Sharon Paige is featured on the balladic flow of the latter. &Don't Leave Me This Way& became a disco theme for Thelma Houston. This album was the final chapter of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes featuring Theodore Pendergrass, who released a solo album the following year.
