Teddy Pendergrass - Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose

[TJSol]

My favorite Teddy P song!

[timmy841212]

lol PIR was definitely funky. Motown had its funky moments though. :)

[Kwambomb74]

Today is the second anniversary of this brother's passing. That's why I'm here listening to this jam. Plus,I'm locking to it too. RIP Teddy. Your memory and legacy will forever live on and on.

@oldschoolbx1970 HI DUDE, I UNDERSTAND YOUR FEELINGS: I STARTED SPINNING RECORDS IN '81 & MY FIRST RADIO NICKNAME WAS PHILLY DJ SINCE I HAD THE DOUBLE Ps ON EVERY TURNTABLE... I'M HERE SINCE I'M CREATING A TRIBUTE PLL FOR P.I.R. IT'S 4Ost ANNIVERSARY OF THIS LABEL REDUCED TO A WEB RADIO, STILL, STAY HAPPY, OK?

[oldschoolbx1970]

@65emkay Thanks for the 411 of PIR from when it was under CBS(now Sony). And I'll stay happy,too.

[daiquirialwayscool]

Locking music.. =) btw it's not reruns dance. Locking was started by a man named Don "Campbellock" Campbell and the name locking is short for "Campbellocking"... quick history lesson for you guys.. One love =)

[oldschoolbx1970]

@daiquirialwayscool That's right.

[xxhumblepiexx]

I spun at 4 different discos between 1978 and 1981 and loved all Teddy's stuff as much as the crowds his music put on the dance floor.

RIP brother.

@xxhumblepiexx

It's official. Gamble & Huff are the baddest producers to ever grace this earth that we live on!

[queeneastcoast]

@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING They were funkier than Motown. No disrespect against Motown. Motown was truly successful. Their biggest mistake was to not evolve their sound. Gamble and Huff did just that. Philly is just an all around soulful city anyway. If it ain't the record label, it's the artists. FRANKIE BEVERLY & MAZE? C'mon y'all!

[atessaway13]

:D Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss­sssssssssssss!!!! LOVE! Great memories!!!!

[queeneastcoast]

Three people who voted against this video don't know how to get up, get down, get funky, get loose. LOL

[redcarol57]

@queeneastcoast Got that right!

[sexymd07]

I call this Rerun's Jam! LOL!

[sexymd07]

Hell fuck yeah! Rerun used to jam his ass off to this. Anybody who thought that fat people couldn't groove better think again. You ain't got to be no certain size to dance. Rerun be moving better than lots of skinny people.

[tomeka1971]

Love This song!

[astron33]

@ThePinkflower39

[Juwar1974]

I remember my daddy used to play this all over the house. I also remember Rerun used to dance to this jam.

[sexymd07]

@Juwar1974 LOL! I was gonna say the exact same thing about Rerun dancing to this. The good days were the best weren't they?

Teddy was da man back in the day. I used to try to imitate his style, and even grew a scraggly beard at 18 because my girlfriend had his poster over her bed. That was 32 years ago. Now that girlfriend probably has a beard.
