My mom had a white dress like this back in 1980. She looked damn hot with her long thick (natural hair). Back when women looked like females and acted like it too.
@juceecherry Yes i looked into it...The song was made in 1981 and the following year Teddy had the accident...unfortunately. Great song. i remember enjoying listening to it on the radio back in the days. R.I.P Teddy P
W.H.U.R.-Howard University"s Melvin Lindsey made a habit of playin only the 12" version of this song where Teddy and Stephanie really stretch it out!!!
wow a duet in which both people can actually sing. R&b has really really fallen off the last 15 yrs . Nobody can sing - if they are not 16 they are portraying a 16 yr old image. lawd help us
@dgfilmdoc My mom said she saw an interview with the both of them and said Teddy was so much taller than Stephanie. To shot a scene with the both in a shoot would had to shoot to far back to fit the both in the frame.
ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG!!! I thought I was going to MARRY Teddy Pendergrass when I was a LITTLE GIRL....I was a 70's baby and enjoyed listening to his RECORDS/ALBUMS & looking at the ALBUM COVERS growing up.Thanx for SHARING.
There are not very many singers today that can stand in Stephanie's light, or her shadow for that matter... Been listening to her since 'The Wiz'... and I tell my daughter that if she wants to sing, she needs to watch how Stephanie shows you how it's done.. No gimmicks, no computer adjusted voice, no auto tune crap, just vocal talent in full effect!!!
This was and still is my jam,. Teddy P had the best soulful voice ive ever heard. Music back then was real and people really sung believe it or not. Great black music. I still blast this in my car when im driving.
This so classy.I miss the old school.I thank God I was exposed to the old school,because they song about love and happiness.Couples were so close than back then than they are in todays society.I love the groove,lyrics,and connection they with the music.
grown folks music here so any one dat doesn't understand ,feel or don't enjoy please leave without no dislikes thanks u... now enjoy, for those when music takes us back 2 the good days when music was creative and done wit REAL TALENT
This is my jam, I am 16 and know what real music is, and this is it right here, with the beautiful Stephanie Miles, and the sexy ladies man TP. I think I am in love.lol
@KingMellow11 man, how you gonna dis Teddy and Stephanie? You MUST be under 30 for saying something like that. That ain't cool at all. these are two LEGENDS.
I always wanna cry whenever i see or hear them perform together because they should have made a duet album which of course would be a classic by now! R.I.P. Teddy Bear!
Videos in the 80s looked extremely corny. I'm so glad Michael came along and changed that. Also where did a video like this air in 1981 if mtv wouldn't play them? I'd guess BET but i dont think it was that popular yet.
@fresh77896 Id take these corney videos over the crap thats on the tv today any day of the week.Even though Mike changed the game, nobody followed up with the creativity they managed to portray back then. Seriously...whos left to compete???
@cwayz08 I agree the videos of today are so lame. You can't even watch it with your family anymore. Videos are just not as pure and enjoyable as they used to be the female artists can't seem to find their clothes and there's always some naked video hoe in the males videos. Its such a shame. After the mid 90s they just became a complete waste.
@fresh77896 Record labels didn't give black artist money in the early 80's! Micheal paid for Thriller and Bille Jean out his own pocket! Not until the 90's did all songs have a video for all artist! So to see this video today is like wow! Also this video was on BET my uncle said Bet came out in 1980 cuz MTV didn't like black artist, so we came along way we struggled!!!!!! Black History Fact!
@TheHustlehustle09 ...in 1983 when MJ's Thriller came out (Best selling album/cd of all time) gay-ass RACIST MTV didn't want to play the video's at 1st
@TheHustlehustle09 You speak the truth Hustle, we black and we always had to hustle. Then of course they take it from us and black artists can no longer get a deal making the music we invented, so we leave it for them and invent something else then they take that too. These videos were cheaply made cos there was no budget for them..One day we'll all be free cos we really ain't yet...
When this song came out, I would listen to it as many times a day as possible. I bought on a 45. Anybody remember those? This is my absolute favorite duet by these two! I thought I would never find this song anywhere. Thanks a million for uploading it here! Great memories of my high school years!
@musiclover77able I used to think I was the only person like that. When I was in my teens and early 20s my friends and coworkers always marvelled at how many old songs I knew. Def. the best time to be born was in the mid to late 70s when we had so many great singers/ entertainers from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. And I'm from the Caribbean too so I was exposed to Caribbean music, Gospel, Latin and African music as well. I plan to raise my kids on all my influences....RIP Teddy!!!
OMG i miss those days even tho i was a youngun.Music was so darn good,im ashamed of where the industry has gone,A friend & i were talking about it yesterday how artists cant make money anymore because peeps download music now instead of buying it.Just sad,i truly believe we're close to the end of this system of the old world.
@JordinSparksFan08 Wasn't about the video back then it was actual talent and true artistry back then. That's why this song is on Youtube some near 30 years after its initial release. Try saying that about "Roger That" or "Oh let do it" Waka FLaka FLame in 30 yrs.
@rufus317@rufus317 Umm, Ok well If you knew me you'd know I was pretty "old school" when it comes to TV shows and Music. All I watch are shows from the 70's like good times, Different strokes etc. and I Like Motown/70's music. I don't know why youre coming at me like I just insulted the song or something!! All I said is the video was corny, and It is, it doesnt take away from the song. (and I dont even like that song roger that) :)
@rufus317 I LOVEEEE the song can you feel it by the Jacksons like you dont even know! But i think the video is horrible! LOL. But yes I understand what your saying and I do agree, I wish we could go back to days where Music was about more than sex and money.
@rufus317 It looks alot different in text with how I came across. The way you think I came across is not . I just said back then it was about the music. Sorry if I came off wrong.
teddy is sitting down because stephanie mills, is on like 4'11 while teddy i think was over 6feet so for the video he choose to sit so he wouldn't look like a giant over stephanie
Oh right, I thought it was because of the devastating car accident he had that paralysed him...but then i remembered it happened in 1982 and this vid is from '81...
Great great song, nice video but very strange in the sense that it looks like Teddy is already paralyzed with all of these shots of him sitting down - and yet I think this was prior to the accident. Weird.
URGENT - Help us to get the track "The more I get the more I want" by Teddy Pendergrass back into the UK TOP 40 Charts this weekend. 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
The reason they did it like that is because Stephanie is soooooo short and Teddy was a fairly tall man; the difference in their height was hard to work out for the video so they had him sitting in the scenes! :)
one of the best duet parners. I don't know why they didn't do an album together. I didn't know there was a video to this song. Stephanie and Teddy look great together on this song I love this video.
That's when R&B music was at it's best!! Teddy and Stephanie had such a great chemistry..Not all singers have that Chemistry to sing together. Rick James and Teena Marie also had that great chemistry.
@ladydee20784....Dont forget Roberta Flack & Donnie Hathaway...now they rocked it too. And Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye. Now thats when music was music, and only the truly talented people had record deals. RIP Teddy & MJ...Music is not the same without you guys. Stevie Wonder & Prince is all we have left ya'll....I miss the 70's & 80's...whew...
Dang,they have a couple of old school radio station down here in Atlanta and you don't hear this song or several others at all just mostly the same old thing.
@The1baddman My experience is few of these stations really dig deep. We had old school once in Seattle. Man, talk about pathetic! Lame! I suppose it was an attempt to lasso white listeners, but every tune was the fm radio staple. If they cued Commodores, you can bet it was Brick House. Earth Wind and Fire, it was Boogie Wonderland. Gladys Knight, Midnight Train to Georgia. You get it. Nuttin' wrong with those, but please, know the discography and dig deep! Might be too much to ask these days.
Teddy and Stephanie had such great chemistry. Her personality really sparkles in all of her performances! And if her hairstyle wasn't the fliest thing ever. I still rock that when I'm in the mood for a 80s throwback.
@nothinghumanlovesfor Perhaps it's because I'm older, but I just don't feel the same way when I hear R&B these days, you know? It doesn't touch my heart the same way. Remember when the old-heads used to say, "music isn't what it used to be". Now, I know what they mean. I'm only in my 30's, what will it be like when I'm in my 50's? Lol!
exactly i know how u feel. i'm almost 33 and when i was 6 i was listening to music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s i always could apprecite good music or what ever, but music to day suck also cos people are so damn cocky, back then they were humble , i think music to day all sound the same lol
@nothinghumanlovesfor You're absolutely right about artists being cocky. However, the record companies are partly to blame. Before it was about sharing your own sound with the world, now it's about how many albums you can sell. Most songs do sound the same on the radio and that's because execs hear a tune that sells and mimic it in one form or another. Hopefully we'll see a rebirth of the old.
@nothinghumanlovesfor Thank you for the compliment. My thoughts come from seeing friends try to make it in the music industry, very tough. But anything worth having is worth the struggle.
any time, i k now how u feel, i'm a song writer my self and every time i try to make it in the industry, men just wanted to sleep with me which i never gave IN. i will always write songs even if my dream never come true and i wont ever sleep my way to get some where which still no grantee lol cos my songs are that good enough. hopefully one day it will happen for me
@nothinghumanlovesfor Men stink sometimes, but it happens. Don't let that deter you. Never give up on your dreams, as long as you're alive, it's never too late. These two kept at it for a long time and look where they ended up, two of the best in the business. I expect to hear good things from you in the future. God bless you and good luck.
man i so wish i was born back in these days to experience these kinda music videos...i just have the luxory of going through all these classic albums and songs that we have at home thanks to my mom and dad
I had the honor of orchestrating this song...I knew it was special from the first time I heard it in the raw!! DUNN PEARSON - Arranger...Two Superstars!!
Hats off to you blackbeethoven30! What an honor it must be to be involved with this cut! You are part of history bro. History of great music, that is.
My mom had a white dress like this back in 1980. She looked damn hot with her long thick (natural hair). Back when women looked like females and acted like it too.

I love this song. They look nice in their white.
Stephanie looks beautiful. I remember when that hairstyle was out that she's wearing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there any reason Teddy P is sitting the duration of this video? The video is from 1981, so it's before the accident.

I was wondering also!!!!
karameldreem 2 years ago
The reason they did it like that is because Stephanie is soooooo short and Teddy was a fairly tall man; the difference in their height was hard to work out for the video so they had him sitting in the scenes! :)

@Msredhoney720 That makes sense.
kimmy1984 2 years ago
one of the best duet parners. I don't know why they didn't do an album together. I didn't know there was a video to this song. Stephanie and Teddy look great together on this song I love this video.
karameldreem 2 years ago
@karameldreem I agree, why these two didn't do more duets together we will never know.

That's when R&B music was at it's best!! Teddy and Stephanie had such a great chemistry..Not all singers have that Chemistry to sing together. Rick James and Teena Marie also had that great chemistry.
ladydee20784 2 years ago
@ladydee20784....Dont forget Roberta Flack & Donnie Hathaway...now they rocked it too. And Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye. Now thats when music was music, and only the truly talented people had record deals. RIP Teddy & MJ...Music is not the same without you guys. Stevie Wonder & Prince is all we have left ya'll....I miss the 70's & 80's...whew...

Dang,they have a couple of old school radio station down here in Atlanta and you don't hear this song or several others at all just mostly the same old thing.
The1baddman 2 years ago
@The1baddman My experience is few of these stations really dig deep. We had old school once in Seattle. Man, talk about pathetic! Lame! I suppose it was an attempt to lasso white listeners, but every tune was the fm radio staple. If they cued Commodores, you can bet it was Brick House. Earth Wind and Fire, it was Boogie Wonderland. Gladys Knight, Midnight Train to Georgia. You get it. Nuttin' wrong with those, but please, know the discography and dig deep! Might be too much to ask these days.

Teddy and Stephanie had such great chemistry. Her personality really sparkles in all of her performances! And if her hairstyle wasn't the fliest thing ever. I still rock that when I'm in the mood for a 80s throwback.

i was just thinking the same thing the other day
nothinghumanlovesfor 1 year ago
@nothinghumanlovesfor Perhaps it's because I'm older, but I just don't feel the same way when I hear R&B these days, you know? It doesn't touch my heart the same way. Remember when the old-heads used to say, "music isn't what it used to be". Now, I know what they mean. I'm only in my 30's, what will it be like when I'm in my 50's? Lol!
mogreld 1 year ago
exactly i know how u feel. i'm almost 33 and when i was 6 i was listening to music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s i always could apprecite good music or what ever, but music to day suck also cos people are so damn cocky, back then they were humble , i think music to day all sound the same lol
nothinghumanlovesfor 1 year ago
@nothinghumanlovesfor You're absolutely right about artists being cocky. However, the record companies are partly to blame. Before it was about sharing your own sound with the world, now it's about how many albums you can sell. Most songs do sound the same on the radio and that's because execs hear a tune that sells and mimic it in one form or another. Hopefully we'll see a rebirth of the old.
mogreld 1 year ago
@mogreld u are so right, i agree. i like how u think.
nothinghumanlovesfor 1 year ago
@nothinghumanlovesfor Thank you for the compliment. My thoughts come from seeing friends try to make it in the music industry, very tough. But anything worth having is worth the struggle.
mogreld 1 year ago
any time, i k now how u feel, i'm a song writer my self and every time i try to make it in the industry, men just wanted to sleep with me which i never gave IN. i will always write songs even if my dream never come true and i wont ever sleep my way to get some where which still no grantee lol cos my songs are that good enough. hopefully one day it will happen for me
nothinghumanlovesfor 1 year ago
@nothinghumanlovesfor Men stink sometimes, but it happens. Don't let that deter you. Never give up on your dreams, as long as you're alive, it's never too late. These two kept at it for a long time and look where they ended up, two of the best in the business. I expect to hear good things from you in the future. God bless you and good luck.
