Teddy Pendergrass - My Greatest Inspiration

[leebabyraider]

Takes me back!

[10lilrip]

Cream..

[denisethornton919]

It would be a shame to go through life never inspiring another ..even worse would be to not know that LOVE is the greatest inspiration in the world......sing it Teddy!

[J1mmyleef50]

16 people playin... you don't search Teddy to submit dislike...hahahaha

[creole888]

Just simply delightful................beau­tiful song

[TheCassidyCain]

This remind anybody else of The Wood??? :P

[ATTITUDEOFTHECITY]

@TheCassidyCain I just watched the wood!

[OmakaRocksU]

When i hear this my heart smiles...

When my bff hears this, her panties fall. Maybe b/c she's easy or this is just that great of a song

[dorthyandtoto72]

they sure dont makem like this anymore... dayum it bring back the real music

[MrDfount1075]

15 people needs some inspiration

[antonirsmith]

this is real music here.

[TheQueen1228]

A beautiful classic!

[rgablejr]

This is music...straight from the heart..and no hooks required.

[omizfoshiz]

this is a great song by the way

[omizfoshiz]

love is the reason why the old stuff is better than today's shit

today's shit is about one night stands and quickies and shit like that

ain't nothing wrong with that from time to time but the majority of today songs are about the same shit

put the love back in the music please

[Michelle10039]

To the love of my life elijah and Keanu ,Cody

[Romanitabennamon]

To My Beautiful Wife...ROMANITA

[angel16879]

You call this new stuff music

[DrJacquelineLawrence]

Wow...imagine someone meaning those words from their heart while singing this song to you. Teddy sounds so, so good.

[MissNiceeeGirl]

"I Plan to give you all that I have, I'll be everything, everything you think I am. You Make life a Joy to Live, and I'm Thankful and I'm Blessed, just to know you"! My

12-31-11 wedding song. Thanks Teddy!

[armanisaint]

this is music... not drop ur panties and lets grind noise.. music i suppose to nurture the soul, inspire a mindset, relate to life,,,

[spindip32]

@armanisaint So true, although i'm sure Teddy saw his share of panties dropped...Look at how the women are eying him during this song. They look ready to drop them at any moment.

[jaya34ish]

@spindip32 LOL!!! That's FUNNY.........This reminds me of when I read his book & he said after his accident he missed performing & he missed "EVEN THE PANTIES" his female fans tossed on stage ;}

[armanisaint]

today;s music should be ashamed of itself.. hang its head low, stick it in the dirt and never rear its untalented ever again.. its like mistaken a diamond for a pebble.. we know the truth, you are busted, you are noise parading around like musice..

[armanisaint]

today;s music should be ashamed of itself... 

[bnardc1]

wow i hate music of today it's not life. its bull s....

[bnardc1]

wow i hat music of today it's not life. its bull s....

[kara9666]

those were days of good and intelligent music, not like today's all about sex and luxury! SALUT TO TEDDY RIP!!

[DAMOT81]

I sing this song to my girl every time she feels down I love you Tasha Muah!

[mrjtjt]

Only God can give someone a gift to sing this way. So much poise and control.

[blitzgreg1]

Wow look at Teddy's poise while doing this rendition. The man shows an intelligent grace lacking from today's black artistes, sad to say. His diction and pronunciation was impecable. Although he showed such clever restraint, he sang from the heart. I miss serious artistes like this. Atleast we still have Maxwell, Prince and john legend to save us from the bafoons that pose for talent nowadays.

[OhSoNasti]

@blitzgreg1 Thats reallll talk.



[nauris706]

ummmmmm, overacting

[chaka943]

@nauris706 SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A STRUGGLING ARTIST WOULD SAY LOL

[chinz89]

IS HE SINGING THIS LIVE?

[hoger19]

this is how the music should be

[aajones2aajones2]

13 people are not inspired to do ANYTHING but "dislike".

[BuyBenco]

@aajones2aajones2 yea

[Seyahhsod]

1:38 HEY......its RHODA MORGENSTEN !!! (Valerie Harper)

[melitimo]

are his nails done there ???? hmmm

[kylasnanny]

I love this song so very much! Higher,higher you inspire me!

[liljaden23]

This song is so beautiful I am going to walk down the aisle to this song one day...

[gfine2000]

He's gone on to join Gods Vast and magnificent chorus! He talent and natural ability to move people with song will always be appreciated and remembered.

[Guamjfk]

AH, TP! His voice is so smooth. He's not yelling or calling anyone a B***H or other raunchy stuff that they throw at you today. My son was listening to some RAP today and they were saying things that were XXX rated. That's fine for him (18) I s'pose.... but I prefer to leave somethings to the imagination. TP... Mmm, what a beautiful man he was.

[mizundrstod]

THIS IS THE MUSIC OF MY SOUL.I FEEL SO BAD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T FEEL WHAT I FEEL WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC. THE ARTIST S OF THE 60'S, 70'S AND 80'S WERE SINGING TO YOU, FOR YOU AND ABOUT YOU. I FELL IN LOVE WITH MUSIC WHEN I HEARD SONGS FROM ARTISTS LIKE TEDDY, MARVIN , SWITCH, LAKESIDE, DONNY HATHAWAY, O'BRYAN, FORCE MD'S, READY FOR THE WORLD AND SO MANY MORE.THESE ARTIST DID JUST WHAT TEDDY WAS SAYN, THEY INSPIRED YOU!

[roddit1]

Old school music is still yhe best

[deninho1986]

The Wood

[mslbz5]

R.I.P Teddy we love you lots and your music captures the hearts of millions. See you inspire me and you just keep on lifting me up..HIGHER.. Love you Teddy.

[trevele]

I love this song, all the words I wish I could tell my wife.

[MyRevon]

KrypticV3N0M you must be around 23 years old right now. that kind of music wasn't made for you and your age group, because you all wouldn't understand and appricate good music.

[pattykake2011]

One of the greatest singers of all time, my man Teddy Bear!!!

[MzGeekySwaggStar]

[maddog5460]

[dsmith8676]

One of the most beautiful love songs of all time. A perfect wedding song.

[322Scarlett]

Beautiful, nothing else needs to be said.

[jmanns007]

[KwyatMan]

[lavettavd]

My song.it is so lovely and romantic.

[2369939]

What a wonderful song. I always loved his music.

[stevez11]

I'm a italian american, And i want my brothers to bring back that old school soul

[breal9028]

How can anybody dislike this?!...they must be so use to the crap that's out now they don't realize real music when they hear it.

[jesus41803]

Back then u had to do this kinda stuff to get the draws but now,,,,,,,

[slatedumpmusic]

12 people evidently will never be inspired.

[scato1984]

Great emotions

[aries20041979]

one of the best songs ever

[Streamline09]

The best in quality and presentation, reaching for the highest within the heart, needs to be connected with today's youth. Sincerity and commitment will inspire them, so they in turn can inspire those who follow. Let's bridge the gap; each willing to keep an open mind and learn from the other in order to uplift. Thanks for posting this clip.

[MrThegreatest10]

The difference between the old music and the now music is...the old music, WE SING FROM THE HEART and .....the new music, THEY SING FROM BETWEEN THEIR LEGS. TOTALLY TRUE!!!! This why you don't understand the old music. You are waiting to have someone come and hit you between your legs...enjoy!

[MsSagittarius777]

@MrThegreatest10... great comment! Bingo!

R.I.P. Teddy...

[Wizdom454]

he was a great singer,alot good lovesongs.to this day its on my top playlist on my i pod...wiz454

[flex2125]

get chills pretty sickening music to do that. thats the right music

[MybRainIsBroken32]

Back when I was a teenager(early 90's) .My stepdad had a Teddy P tape we would jam all the time.I wasn't that into back then.But now in my 30's and being surrounded by the garbage that is called music today.I have re-discovered this music and I couldn't be more astounded with the quality and true talent that seems to not exist today.Teddy had a amazing voice .No one now a days even comes close.Its sad that todays artist depend on computers and auto-tune to sell records .No talent needed.

[MrsSatifactory]

Tears comes to my eye, goose bumps on my skin .......What can i say?........Teddy you are the greatest!

[breyabre]

i love this song :) :) :) :)

[goatspawn666]

im 18 and i love jammin this stuff makes me think of a time when there was more peace in the world :)

[dnell9889]

1:00-1:30 you can tell he believed in what he was singing about. @ 26 I just wish I could have lived back then. This music that can and have united people from all races. I got a white friend that loves this stuff just as much as I do

[breasmile]

im only 21 and this is my fav song of all time hopefully ill walk donw the aisle to this..one day

[peppermintwisty1]

Watching Teddy sing this song in college was so funny when a dorm mate lost control and fell backwards in her chair. That was funny; that was the power of Teddy.

[ash5starchick]

just love his voice....

[Emma16C]

i Had this boy who for a long time wanted to go out with me. He would pester me all the time saying he love the way i smiled and loved the way i looked and dressed, so i said i would go out with him but after a month or so he tried to change me telling me not to see certain friends and not to wear certain clothes so i dumped him now he is pestering me to get back with him but i told him he should have love me for me and not what he tried to make me. love them for who they are .

[russeli1941]

@Emma16C True that! If a person isn't inspired to be a better person themselves by being around you, then they need to leave you alone. You are already chosen for someone else. Conforming to please them is not love...it's a puppet show. You made the right choice. I believe you will find YOUR chosen one in due time

Peace, love, & friendship

Russ

[King1Darius]

this a cold ass song right here

[KrypticV3N0M]

WTF!!! The more I listen to songs from back in the day. It makes me dislike music of today.

[MrKreoleKreole]

@KrypticV3N0M True dat!

[urblegend79]

@KrypticV3N0M You're not the only one trust me. Most people feel the exact same way.

[blackie453]

@KrypticV3N0M You have the same feeling I have. todays music seems so made up and fake its almost comical...

[October3074]

*Wonnnnderful song for a first dance for a new bride & groom! <3

[Kuramaz1]

R.I.P Great Great Uncle Ted. And Thank You Everyone For The Immense Love. The Music Lives On

[soulsister0707]

Each time I listen to this wonderful kind of music I cry, like I am now. I am having hardships in my relationship, but i want to listen more and more. Hope one day I will find someone who willappreciate me just for being me. Who will see that I am worth more than gold....

[JoyNBaltimore1]

@soulsister0707

Soul Sister, you will find that special person! Sometimes it's the person you least expect. BE BLESSED! ALSO BE ENCOURAGED!!!!

[rishimaraj1]

There is only one person I think about when I hear this lovely song....******* *******

[rishimaraj1]

There is only one person I think about when i hear this lovely song....******* *******

[LivinWitness]

Does anybody know when and where he did this performance?

[soulsister0707]

TeePee you will be solely missed in the R&B Soul industry. Your lyrics deep from the soul. we are still yet to experience a soul singer who will sing a song with passion like you do without any effort. Thank you for the mark you've made in the music industry. May your soul rest in peace....

[lavettavd]

Love this beautiful song.

[CHACOLATEBUNNYLOVE]

I love you MY~MY July 7th..I plan to give you all that I have, i'll be everything, everything that you think I am...you make life a joy to live and I am thankful and yes I'm blessed to be your wife! I am in love with only you HONEY!!! YAHWEH, YESHUA, Yeshurun♥Ariyahna♥ :-)

BENNETT FARRAR.

[kourtneyRenea]

was this the song played at the wedding scene on the wood? ( the movie The Wood)

[REALSOUL4]

Teddy knew what a woman needed to hear to bring her joy! A woman need to be appreciated and loved there wouldn't be anything your woman wouldn't do for you! When a man know how to treat a woman he learned it from his mother! Teddy this one was one of your BEST! You was a inspiration by blessing the world with your BEAUTIFUL MUSIC! You are MISSED but you will always LIVE throught your MUSIC! R.I.P. MY BROTHER!

[datsyonnie]

i love this song!!!!!

[MrSmoothsongwriter]

Damn that sister at 2:32 has me speechless

[headedsomewhere]

@MrSmoothsongwriter ???

[MrPhillyrick1]

@MrSmoothsongwriter i agree. thats when black women were proud to be black. now they have been brainwashed into thinking that black isnt beautiful so they seek an european look. long silky straight hair, fake eyelashes, bright contact lenses, blonde hair! give me an afrocentric female any day! a woman with knowledge of self.

[hipsoul86]

this song makes me think of my fiance this our wedding song hands down

[MrCosell]

Teddy really hit this one in the most beautiful of ways ever!!! I miss you Teddy you were truly one of the greatest!!

[MrsMayo08]

Wow...somebody actually doesn't like this song? Obviously no idea of what real music is.

[0schoolboy]

@MrsMayo08

Some of the greatest things on the face of earth are GOD inspired and the rest are GOD given...

[pinky8465]

[chynaphotogurl]

Lovely..... 

[Omolofa88]

Did anyone notice Glowdyne White (sorry if I got the spelling of her foreame wrong) in the audience? She is the one with the braids. She had a look on her face - guilty pleasure...!

I wonder what she said to Barry 'the Walrus of Love' White later on ...?

[mjjcng8958]

@Omolofa88  oh love unlimited barry's wife? thanks for pointing that out.

[Omolofa88]

[compton1]

GOOD WEDDING SONG!!!

[271lazygurl]

One of my many favorites from Mr. Teddy P...You are truly missed......

[TheCpeachmarie]

Ahhh! My favorite!

[Streamline09]

I think this song reflects where his heart was at this time. The hot stuff sold well and the ladies only concerts sold out. But I believe this song reflects a more mature, romantic side of this sensitive soul. Thanks.

[dswilson2]
