@4531camille I was just telling someone else, I didnt know he was so damn fine and desirable!! If i wasnt a lil girl back then i would've been at every concert... his groupie!! LOL
I will forever be greatful to my parents for introducing me to great music! May not have grown up in the era but I appreciate all of the talent! RIP Teddy!
Truth is Teddy was and still is the best soul singer ever and I got to see him 4 times . I was upset when he was involved in the car accident . And sad when he died. He appealed to all black White male female straight gay there will never be another Teddy
all the good singers are gone now..hi..beside you is another star.the r&b songwriters are quitly dying.the last soul singer is death hello new generation givin up for your new world you searched..ok..but keep the real soul singers in your mind!
look at the audience, just as many white women loved teddy as much as black women maybe more.
look at all dem faggots in the audience, oh man faggots loved teddy, white, black,polkadot, faggots of all colors. this suppose to be a ladies only concert. those are what teddy did.
@sdeschanel1 HEY WHITE BRITISH FAG ITS OK, ITS OK . ILL SHARE TEDY WITH YOU. ALL YOU WHITE FAGS LOVE TEDDY. YAW LOVE OUR BLACK MUSIC. YOU KNOW BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL, RIGHT?
@veeseee128 LOL you seem to have fixation with fags pal, come out the closet and and let go of the deceit you will really be a happier person for it. Don't be afraid, just do it!
And i definitely do know that black is beautiful my friend!
Teddy had raw sex appeal....just makes you keep watching and listening to him....Im in trance while watching his stage presence....I just got one thing to say ladies.....go check yo drawls.....lol
How strange and very sad is it seeing someone able bodied and moving freely on screen when you know that just a few years later it would all be so cruely taken from him. The spinal cord might only be small, but damaged it has a HUGE affect. I very much hope this great man is at peace now
I would like to say that this young man Died to soon The last time I seen him it just History and if you knew the people then you will really pay. A very many memories. I have seen them all of the countly just by coinidense I I wasin town watching them.
I had the good luck to be at the Teddy Pendergrass concert in Lake Tahoe in 79'. It was also my good luck for him to call me out of the audience to sing and get that infamous kiss! I was honored then as I am now. There will never be another like him! I have the CD of the concert to treasure forever....RIP Teddy.
@1GMommie OMG...I am a huge Teddy fan but unfortunately never got to see him in concert. I do have some concert DVDS and when it gets to the part where he sings to and then kisses the girl, I AM SO ENVIOUS!!!! So you were one of those girls, huh, lucky you...I am so jealous!! A memory to truly cherish. And yes, there will never be another like him. Love you Teddy!
@1GMommie OMG really i have that dvd, he called 3 ladies to sing for him, which one were you?? when i watched the dvd I wanted that to be me singing to him, but i was toddler then LOL
Wow!! Love me some Teddy...I think my favorite song by him is"It don't hurt now". Love all his music...I have alwayed loved him and his music. R.I.P. Teddy; your music will never be forgotten!!!
This one of the greatest songs ever made. I sang this song at the age of 10 and 11 growing up in Compton, as if I was a grown man who fully understood the concept. I crushed on young girls to this song. I swear!
You see, Teddy was sweating so bad it was all in his eyes and he could not continue. Also if you look closer, All the single ladies were in the groove. The women with their men, husbands and what not KNEW what time it was and so did Teddy. If ANYONE has ever been to a Teddy Pendergrass concert back in the day y'all know he brought all kind of sexxxy to the stage, he was not even playing. This performance is Soooooooooo toned down & still you can see the men in the audience is hella threatened.
I feel so blessed to have lived during the 70's and also had the pleasure to see Mr. Pendergrass perform back in the summer of 1978 at the Kool Jazz Festival. This video brings back some great memories. RIP Teddy!!!
@killawest..lol..yea, u have missed it not being able to grow up on this music. i was 16 when this song was banging ("79) so...it has great memories for me.
Teddy Pendergrass was so soulful, i wish he was singing this song to a none white audience. These white people look completely detached and out of touch with the live soulful music been performed. I guess this is apart of their culture.
@ederrick987 I agree with @darrenlad I'm white and Teddy Pendergrass had a beautiful soulful voice. I'm also only 18 and love this type of music! It's not all about race and colour
Had that great raspy soulful voice...reminds me of David Ruffin, can't get much better than that man. Shame what happened to this man. James Ingram belongs in this group, comfortably IMO. Ingram may be the most under-rated singer of all time...
I was 20 years old when I heard Teddy in 1979. I was an instant fan and am to this very day. I'm just sad that Teddy is gone but we have his music which will always remind us what a magnificent talent we had here on earth. RIP Teddy.
Teddy was Six foot four inches tall, built like an atlhlete and as graceful as a gezelle. Plus he had this incomparable powerful sensual voice. I saw him many times live; in fact my good friends Alfie Politt and Eddie Green were his musical directors at different times; both are highly accomplishe Philly pianists. The womwn went mad whenever Teddy sang these love songs. He used to have "Women Only" concerts and it would get real raunchy!
@TheViewFromSugarHill I soooooo wish I could have been to at least one of those concerts. I fell in love with Teddy when I was in high school. Still love him sooooo much n I'm, ha ha, a little older.
I have a ridiculous crush on this man..... I love to see a man that is secure enough to serenade a woman without adding in "now bend over and show me that thang" no matter what era... Spend some time telling me you love me and then Ill show you what I am working with... RIP MR. P!!!
When he smiles i cant help but smile! That is a look of someone who is truly happy and his lyrics are so uplifting. well now he is in a better place and he has that smile on his face right now! :)
Take it from an "old head" (41 yrs old), soul & R&B was so good back in the late 70s that Teddy - as great as he was then - was just one of a plenty of good talent around. He was undoubtedly the best solo male artist of his time, but there was so much good African American music - the Commodores, Brick, BarKays, EWF, OJays, Stevie Wonder, Isleys, Enchantment, etc. - putting out hit album after hit album. Year after year.
You're right. Especially Enchantment. Gloria is one of my favorite R&B ballads. Stevie Wonder's peak was around Talking Book and Innervisions. Both are great song by song albums. As far as Teddy P, no one can replicate that voice.
@thekillawest I'm almost 18 and it's a shame that most of the music we hear these days on the radio is fucking trash. I'm like how the fuck we go from where u must have talent to sing to now it's more the get rich quick scheme. That's why I have a cassette adapter for my mp3 so that I don't have to listen to wack ass songs.
I love him, it seems that all the men with talent, beautiful voices who have touched my life are taken away (Luther vandross, Michael Jackson, now Teddy, I sure will be listening to their songs forever
I seen Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes,was I was young lucky to be able to hang with some of them,they were cool guys to hang with. Too bad Teddy passed away, I enoy there music. Rest in peace Teddy,we miss U.
A hundred years from now people will still be playing Teddy's music as if it were brand new and fresh because Teddy's music is TIMELESS. R.I.P. Teddy. You certainly will be missed. God Bless my brother.

Please join our facebook group GET TEDDY PENDERGRASS BACK IN THE TOP 40 THIS WEEK! Every download counts and costs only about 70p. We are going to ask the record label to donate to the HAITI Disaster Appeal in Teddy's memory. Please help us to achieve this - support is growing but time is running out. Thank you, Fiona & The Team xx
@melissav6, you are so right. Very few singers that can actually SANG, sing. This new generation of young singers can barely hold a note. Half the time they are whispering and you can't tell one from the other. Male or female.
i love how back in the day you go on stage and sing and you just sing the song no crazy dancing or lights it was just about the music. he could of just dropped the mic and stepped off and got a standing ovation.
This exquisite, beautiful man was one of my singing idols as I was growing up! He was a powerful singing masculine man who expressed himself with love, sensuality, strength, and hope for the universe! You will never be forgotten for what you contributed! R.I.P. Teddybear!
I have "turned off many of lights "Closed the door "after I ask her to "Come go with me"and been thru some TKOs.
I am his biggest fan. It was a sad day then when my girl called me in 82 and told me he was in a car accident. We had went to his concert at the Merriam theater in Philly.
The Jones girls opened for him. I have all his albums solo and w/Harold Melvin Bluenotes. My 24 yr old daughter is here because of Teddy's music. Best voice ever. RIP!
I agree with you latina you are absolutely right. Jaheim should do a tribute to him by singing his songs cause his voice was similiar to Teddy. He was a handsome man rest in peace brotha
im1asshole..We still have Al Green. For my money, he is one of only a handful of artist I would even compare to Teddy. But Teddy was my man! I was dancing to "Bad Luck" and "Keep on Loving You" this morning while making breakfast.
I rather be dead with Teddy, Marvin, Barry, Luther, & MJ and listening to their voices in heaven then be listening to pointless songs nowadays. R&B music is not how it used to be like before with true meaning and love. R.I.P. TEDDY BEAR ;-(
I wouldn't want to be dead, but hey I get your point, My question to you and other what in the Hell happen. Music is junk. Music today is Lady GaGA please.
@LatinaSource check out Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings or anything from the Daptones label...maybe that will restore some faith...it ain't Teddy but it ain't shit
Yes, brother Pendergrass has gone on to his reward. I know he was ready. He was at the Cheyney graduation in 2008, and I did not even recognize him, in his wheelchair. There didn't seem to be any of the old Teddy left. Whatever the events and circumstances of his life were about, having it all and then losing it all, I'm sure that he grew tremendously in this life, and overcame a lot of shortcomings. God bless his soul on it's journey to our Source. He was a gift to us all. my God mother
Its a such a shame but he lived a great life and lived longer than anyone known in his condition for 30 years!! We love you Sir Pendergrass. May God have you sing for Him forever!! Thanks!
@im1asshole...I know. Its so sad that all the greats ones of our time are leaving too soon. All we have left is Stevie & Prince...I miss all of our great soldiers of yesteryear. RIP Teddy, MJ, Marvin, Luther, & Barry. GOD be with you on your journey to the other side...Amen.
My mom was the biggest fan of his when I was growing up ,so I grew up listening to his musci. His music was so intimate and suggestive but not vulgar like today's artists. What a beautiful man with a powerful baritone voice. He had real talent and he will be missed.
harold melvin and the bluenotes can u remember

A hundred years from now people will still be playing Teddy's music as if it were brand new and fresh because Teddy's music is TIMELESS. R.I.P. Teddy. You certainly will be missed. God Bless my brother.

@melissav6, you are so right. Very few singers that can actually SANG, sing. This new generation of young singers can barely hold a note. Half the time they are whispering and you can't tell one from the other. Male or female.

This exquisite, beautiful man was one of my singing idols as I was growing up! He was a powerful singing masculine man who expressed himself with love, sensuality, strength, and hope for the universe! You will never be forgotten for what you contributed! R.I.P. Teddybear!

I have "turned off many of lights "Closed the door "after I ask her to "Come go with me"and been thru some TKOs.
I am his biggest fan. It was a sad day then when my girl called me in 82 and told me he was in a car accident. We had went to his concert at the Merriam theater in Philly.
The Jones girls opened for him. I have all his albums solo and w/Harold Melvin Bluenotes. My 24 yr old daughter is here because of Teddy's music. Best voice ever. RIP!

I agree with you latina you are absolutely right. Jaheim should do a tribute to him by singing his songs cause his voice was similiar to Teddy. He was a handsome man rest in peace brotha

im1asshole..We still have Al Green. For my money, he is one of only a handful of artist I would even compare to Teddy. But Teddy was my man! I was dancing to "Bad Luck" and "Keep on Loving You" this morning while making breakfast.

I rather be dead with Teddy, Marvin, Barry, Luther, & MJ and listening to their voices in heaven then be listening to pointless songs nowadays. R&B music is not how it used to be like before with true meaning and love. R.I.P. TEDDY BEAR ;-(

Yes, brother Pendergrass has gone on to his reward. I know he was ready. He was at the Cheyney graduation in 2008, and I did not even recognize him, in his wheelchair. There didn't seem to be any of the old Teddy left. Whatever the events and circumstances of his life were about, having it all and then losing it all, I'm sure that he grew tremendously in this life, and overcame a lot of shortcomings. God bless his soul on it's journey to our Source. He was a gift to us all. my God mother

My mom was the biggest fan of his when I was growing up ,so I grew up listening to his musci. His music was so intimate and suggestive but not vulgar like today's artists. What a beautiful man with a powerful baritone voice. He had real talent and he will be missed.
