Sad story their separation but TP was definitely not the loser...!

[PenzoLebza]

Please replace the image with the lead vocalist on it...it makes it dound even better...Baby please...satisfy the need in me!

[funkyswede62]

wow I've never heard this version before. Great vocals from Teddy (RIP). Big up for shawniskind for the clip, thanks a lot ;)

[marclechef]

Surely this must be the best song ever written!!!! have been looking for this version for years, thank you uploader. Anytime I DJ i finish on this song. Amazing!

[msccatman67]

Incredibly powerful version...the extended version is way better!!! What passion behind the words!

teddy killled this

Best version ever! Philly soul only existed 7 years, then the electro-disco entered the danceworld in the mid-70s. This version of this song (and others like this one) is why discotheques went skyhigh in popularity. Extremely danceable, great sing-a-long lines, exotic built rhythmsequences, horns, strings, etc etc. Oh yes, I'm a major fan of the Fender Rhodes ;)

very under-rated. Sad, true talent.

[luciansunset1]

These songs actually convince you that men do love. Absolutely brilliant. Music these days are based on weirdness and crap.

Real Soul music. Real Disco Music. You feel the SOUL. Teddy Pendergrass is missing from the picture and it's him singing. He made the song.

How can you upload a photo of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes WITHOUT Teddy Pendergrass' picture on it. His voice made the song

[shawniskind]

@glencro I know, but the mistake was actually quite simple. All I had to do was not pay attention, then google harold melvin and the blue notes and voila...

[riojanroll]

Great post - been looking for this for a while. So much more power than the shorter version.

[PHILIPVDL1]
