Teddy pendergrass,The whole towns laughing at me .1977

[MyNatboy]

MAN!!!! WHAT 2 FOOLS HATE THIS SONG? COME ON MAN!!!!

[jrwilson87]

damn jagged edge totally bite off this shit lol

[oldschoolbx1970]

One of my favorite slow joints from TP himself. RIP,brothah.

[acrethrills]

This is my theme tune pretty much, although none of the stuff about having love or the bits about losing love apply in my case. Just the title really.

[2sweet63]

the whole towns laughing at me

[MrNooneseesme]

Touches the very soul of humanity

[MrNooneseesme]

Mr Perfection, only equaled by the greatest and never bettered. With us forever

[smoothiota4]

A lot of people want to say Teddy was caught with a transvestite, but I don't think he realized it at the time. I think as he was driving down the street he was probably moving his hand and and felt something totally unexpected that caused him to crash.

[jaya34ish]

@smoothiota4 THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU!Was having this EXACT Debate with a few (HATE'N AZZ GIRLFRIENDS).Those were my WORD'S and they argued me down about the(SO CALLED FACT). I REALLY THINK he was FOOLED/LEAD A STRAY. Not ALL Transvestites LOOK LIKE SYLVESTER (R.I.P.)...A DUDE in a DRESS.Some Transvestite's LOOK JUST LIKE TALK LIKE WALK LIKE NATURAL BORN WOMEN/FEMALES.It could have ended with Teddy P Blow'n (Homeboy's/Homegirl's) BRAINS OUT & spent the remainder of his LIFE Behind Bars.

[smoothiota4]

@jaya34ish So true. There probably would not have been a crash, otherwise. In our scenario, that would have caused anyone to freak out and wreck.

[TheDiva1971]

Everyone can see and speak on your skeletons that are in your closet but God only knows what's in theirs. Just love the music not peoples faults we all have them.

[bobbie458]

it was a shame when he got caught wit transvestite...but always love his music...

[MsMesha78]

But back on point, my favorite Teddy P song ever. Reminds me of my dad and when music actually MEANT something. Good memories.....

[TheRealmusic83]

...Remeber when life was so easy ...kinder...warmer...lovelier.­..quietly revealing a true love..that no one else was feeling like you..& you...& you? me 2.

[empressofthefrench]

@tanya0011 Close the door, let me give you what you are looking for -------- I would have ran through that closed door.

[DaOrigTruthSeeker]

@2hard2try: If you ever had a brain....now is the time for you to use it. You missed my entire point. I feel sorry for people like you because your hope is in the wrong thing. I too don't care anything about color...but apparently most Blacks did because they voted for Obama not because he was qualified or had a vision for this nation but merely because he was Black. They never really cared if he could actually do some good for this nation. Be real with yourself so you can be real with others.

[READY4REVELATION]

@GROFOOPERS: You got that right.....Obama has given all those who believed in him his ass to kiss. He has done a 360 on just about everything he said he would do when he was running. Obama is a con-artist and a mouth piece. Obama sold all you Black people out who voted based on skin color....and i feel sorry for many of you who have not even figured that out yet. THE WHOLE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT YOU. Wake up if you are even seriously thinking about voting for that house nigger.

[2hard2try]

@READY4REVELATION but isn't thats what YALL have done for years. Ran this country in the ground and now you think OBAMA suppose to be a miracle worker and fix everything over night are you kidding. YOU stop looking at color and see the facts because the country went to hell a long time ago. and so far its resting there

[2hard2try]

@READY4REVELATION but isn't thats what YALL have done for years. Ran this country in the ground and now you think OBAMA suppose to be a miracle worker and fix everything over night are you kidding. YOU stop looking at color and see the facts because the country went to hell a long time ago. and so far its resting there

WE ARE ONLY COLOR BLIND AT WAR TIME

[tabbykat677]

@READY4REVELATION What the fuck did the drunkard Bush do but be a for-front for his dad to continue fucking up the country--Obama is and was trying to clean up what the trailer trash left in the fucking dumpster dumb ass cracker...you're just as fucking stupid ass they are..... does it take an over-nighter to clean up the fucking country..hell no....it takes more than a few years to clean up a FUCK UP!!!! Thumbs Up To OBAMA!!!!!!!

[ladylinda59]

@tabbykat677 hey steady on!!! we are missing the point! The comments are for the Artist and the music. Lets not forget we clicked on this to hear a fantastic song

[tabbykat677]

U dumb ass poor crackers....u better vote for OBAMA... CUZ THE RICH CRACKERS DON"T GIVE A DAMN 'BOUT YALL STUPID ASS's...THEY"RE FOOLING U ALL 2....DUMB ASS's......OBAMA IS CLEANING UP THEIR FUCKING MESS....CAN"T YOU C THAT? Oh,I"M SORRY MOST CRACKERS ARE STUPID,BLIND,DEAF,&DUMB!!!!

[empressofthefrench]

@tabbykat677 What are u a rich cracker or just a dumb sob. We had a dumb white Pres, named Bush, remember him & we voted him in twice. He ran up the bill. Obama is only one man. What can he do alone? The Republicans don't back him. If we kept our noses out of other countries business we would be billions richer. Take back the FR out of the hands of Zionists, high interest charges, oust the bankers. Start with a fresh slate, eliminate all in Congress and the Senate.

[empressofthefrench]

@tabbykat677 In case you are unaware Israel runs the US not the other way around as stated by PM A. Sharon. Stop this overseas welfare. Let countries stand on their own two feet. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. We are the laughing stock of the world.

[MrNooneseesme]

@empressofthefrench Teddy is the man but all I see here is a bitch hate comment

[MrNooneseesme]

@empressofthefrench its like you are pissing on yourself -give it a rest and show respect for Teddy,save your bitterness and hate for another place and another time-this is way way too brilliant for anything else to interfere

[MsMesha78]

@READY4REVELATION Awwww, this shit got me rollinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! U are so right. I feel the EXACT same way and I voted for him! Both sides have valid points, but ur entire post is the end result. Doesn't matter how or why we got there, IT IS WHAT IT IS.

[easyriderfi]

grown folk music

[algthedrill]

sometime when a great singer puts his mark on a song ,all you can is smile or hum

[PopCulture20]

I LOVE the Regina Belle version!!!!

[RonyMexico]

did the bluenotes do background vocals on this? serious question

[taylor4660]

@RonyMexico No. For years I thought this was HBN.....The was wriiten and recorded in'76 after Ted left...The BN never did the backgrounds on any of their songs...just like the stylistics didn't do the vocals.....

[RonyMexico]

what a set of pipes this guy had, rip

[elvirap]

Pine Knob amphitheater. Anybody remember me running toward the stage? Well I was. Teddy cast a spell that day.

[2sweet63]

TEDDY P IS THE SHIT BEST SON EVER THE WHOLE TOWNS LAUGHING AT ME

[GROFOOPERS]

Thought of Obama, and this song!

[jellis4465]

@GROFOOPERS What "THE WHOLE WORLDS LAUGHING AT ME"

[spinderellafire]

@GROFOOPERS whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa..........calm down man.

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@GROFOOPERS only if you change the words to hateful fools laugh at me.

[thinkofmeproductions]

@GROFOOPERS You should think of that stupid as bush who fucked up the whole world with that shitty ass grinn when they told him about 911 while he was supposed to be visiting school children. but in relity he was hiding from Ben laden and the boys. But The real president went and got his ass and took him down. He ain't afraid on none of you motherfuckers

[smoothiota4]

"Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good thing?"

[DSkeptic86]

I remember this song. I was 12 yrs old at the time. lol It brings back alot of memories.

[TheStacykeys]

wicked tune!

[melvin1123]

philly vs detroit  gamble&huff vs.gordy&smokey

[kdog1m]

The first song I cried to after my first heartbreak :(

[powerbrokers54]

such a sad end to a brilliant musical career, live with the angels Teddy

[hot5pur11]

A REAL CLASSIC MAKE-OUT SONG FROM THE LATE, THE GREAT, THE IMMORTAL .... TEDDY P!.

[powerbrokers54]

All of Philly misses you TeddY . Be with the Angels~

[07bless]

A man never realize what he has until he losses it.So u should learn 2 treat ur woman right.And b man enough 2 admit like teddy did.Maybe i would have still been married after 34yrs. I love this song cause it is so true.

[Jhadzia]

Huttdawg100 in answer to your question about if we will ever have another? yes but only if you personally are involved in helping that to happen. Like keeping the arts and music in our public schools. After school programs that allow all of our youth to express ourselves, teaching them to use instruments, donating to the cause of music, feel me? Anyway yes there are more coming, hopefully the history of music will be instilled in them and they will grow to sing and make positive music. peace

[notorioustia]

Owwww !

[Huttdawg100]

Wow... That was really good. Some times I wonder if we will ever get music like this again. Luther is gone. Teddy is gone. Barry is gone. Who do we have left? Maxwell? Jaheim? I'm gonna petition the Border Patrol to deport T-Pain; his auto-tune gives me hemorrhoids and kidney stones.

[MrHoodldh]

@Huttdawg100 ....LOL...For sure the Artist have left us, but we are still blessed to have such great music left by those guys....and hey get that petition going and I will be the first to sign

[neckbone843]

MAN THE WORLD STOP WHEN THIS MAN LEFT HERE ;THAT FOR REAL

[Talon805]

Classic sound of Philly! I still can hear this on the Quiet Storm with Tony Brown as I get ready for bed! RIP Teddy....we lost yet another great one

[MrBlackdeath58]

@josshines oh how I wish it would rain

[Smlj3408]

great voice and great song RIP Teddy P

[decus69]

Deep!

[layorseniram]

this song reminds me of the true loves in my life traci jo bowden,even after all these years i still think of what might have been,i was a complete idiot to lose her this song sums it all up. if your out there babe i truly hope life's been kind to you xx

[steelerbaby6x]

I just found out that Teddy passed away in January. Seems like all the truly romantic singers are gone. But what a choir in heaven!

[Lordinvdious]

Do you hear that behind him? That is what you call a live band. No synthesizers,no audiovoxes( or whatever that thing is). Nothing but pure talent.

[josshines]

I have what I call rainy day music, there is nothing better than a little bit of Teddy with some rain to hide the tears.

[ayris76]

@josshines

..............Amen Baby!

[maedae1]

one of the great voices of uour time, Teddy Luther, Barry, Michael, and a few others. May they sing praises in heaven.

[TheJfamous]

When you were entertaining back in the day you had to have TP's albums. If you couldnt get any when his songs were playin then your game was definately weak

[SupermanNYC2006]

Thats right ljcca, this man had the women going crazy. All I can say is "A lot of these young ones were born because of this man music. Just put some headsets on and just listen to the lyrics to his songs! Wow!

[ljcca]

If I could go back in time 23 years I would be one of those women! :-)

[ljcca]

Oops, I meant 33 years... to 1977.

[Chris9273]

@ljcca

You GO girl!!!! LOL!!! Teddy was my moms favorite.

[mycalling52]

@ljcca Amen, sister...he could have sang to me, all night long...I just love listening to him sing....

[bhamsunshine91]

This is the jam! RIP Teddy!

[cashmatic5g]

Teddy P Rest in Peace

[groveshow]

Rip

[punkieponky]

Heard today the news...Teddy left this world on wednesday. Thank you for your beautifull music Teddy!! LOVE TKO

[Chris9273]

This song is a classic that never really got the air play like it should.

[BrendaJoi]

Thanks for posting. I love Teddy's music. (I always thought of it as great music to ooh aah")

[duhjuce]

"...thought you knew.." LoL Thanks Teddy for telin' tha TRUFH....CLASSICK

[JoyNBaltimore1]

I was only 14 years old when this song came out....I can still remember playing it the day I graduated from High School!

[JoyNBaltimore1]

Sing it Teddy!..........I cried once when he was in Baltimore and I thought my friends and I would be late for the show! Painters' Mill......that was the SPOT!!!!!!

[PF149]

one of my all time favorites!.My cousin Sherman Marshall, wrote this song!,I am soo proud STILL to know that pple throughout this country are STILL enjoy this tune!~.(R.I.P. SHERMAN!~). couz...

[taylor4660]

[Lady0nline]

[ctmedz]

This is one super fine and very talented singer from back in the day~~I loved all his music!

[RonyMexico]

been there, done that, got the t-shirt for proof-spelled dummy

[niyah2008]

this is my song right here

[sheila1945]

It's a cardinal sin for a man to be sooooo hot! And i still "get off" on his music!!! There oughta be a law against him! lol

[ljcca]

I was just thinking the same thing!! I understand how he was able to sell out "ladies only" concerts. Sadly I was a kid back then. Now I'm watching him, listening to this and it's so good it hurts.

[bobseldo98]

bobseldo98 im73 now .this music will always live on with mn.

barry isac, all gone part of me went with them

[Coachwkr]

I can relate. Thanks.

[licepo68]

[ssjbardock75]

[msrakestrau]

This classic could go on a lot of voicemail. I love it!

[trayjane]
