gospellin.....thx for the info....but, i have a slight problem with the year...if the year is 1985, then it must be their greatest hits, because teddy bear came out in the early to mid 70's...i'm positive of this....i first heard this when i was a young teenager...and if i had to guess, the year would be between 1972-75....in 1985, i was 26 years old...could you please get back to me and let me know when "teddy bear" first came out..thx so much..

@smush48 I only have the album the greatest hits and it's dated 1985 so I can't tell you the actual year it was first recorded. Sorry

[smush48]

omg....i've been searcing for this song..first time i heard it, was WHATam, in philadelphia on the "mary mason show"...powerful and loving memories...but i'd like to know....when this song came out????

@smush48 The album came out in 1985. I'm an announcer here in Philly and worked with Louise Williams on WDAS. I'm told Mary has dementia and is no longer on the air and WHAT was sold a few years ago and is now playing old standards from the 40's 50's and 60's aka Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. WDAS has gone Spanish and Louise is now on another station celebrating 50 years in broadcasting.

Peace and blessings

I just love this song. Everytime I hear it I think about my grandfather who was a trucker. How when he use to come back from a long haul, he would bring me a teddy bear from a truckstop that he had stopped at on his long haul. I use to ask him why he did it. He never gave me an answer till the day he died, and I got a letter from him with this song. Thanks for posting it. Today would be 10 years since he passed and it has helped me listening to this and looking at all the teddy bears in my room

In 1979, the Jackson Southernaires received a Grammy nomination for Teddy Bear. :-) That was the year of the initial release.
