    Without a doubt, one of the biggest soul acts of the mid-70s was Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, and singer Jerry Cummings was a big part of the mix. These days, Jerry works with younger artists as a “music and life coach,” and remains active in the music world.

    In 2017, Jerry released a long lost solo song of that was recorded during the Blue Notes’ heyday, but which was never formally issued. “It’s My Pleasure” is a classic Philly-style ballad, with Cummings’ first tenor sounds just terrific as it guides the listeners through the track.
