Lawrence Brown Sr., original member of the Blue Notes, dead at 63

at 14:46 on April 12, 2008, EDT.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA - Lawrence Lloyd Brown Sr., an original member of the rhythm-and-blues group Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, has died.

A spokesman for the Mitchum-Wilson Funeral Home in Philadelphia says the 63-year-old Brown died last Sunday of a respiratory condition.

Brown performed with the Blue Notes until January, when he became ill while singing at a show in Chester, Pa.

Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes are known for such songs as "I Miss You," "If You Don't Know Me by Now," "The Love I Lost," "Bad Luck" and "Wake up Everybody."

Despite frequent changes in personnel - including Teddy Pendergrass becoming the group's lead singer in the 1970s - Brown remained the second tenor.
