[xxxlady77]

[sunraypower]

Teddy Pendergrass was at one time during the mid seventies and early 80s a household name in the R&B world. He started out singing with a group called Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes. They had hit records such as "The Love I Lost", "I Miss You", "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and "Wake Up Everybody". Teddy was the lead vocalist on those songs. In 1977 Teddy left the group to persue a solo career which was very successful for a number of years.
