Teddy was 28 when this concert was filmed in Lake Tahoe, CA in Feb. 1979. At the end of this song, the audience gave Teddy a spontaneous standing ovation.
He takes my breath away total stage control the voice the beard the perfect teeth the wife beater vest how could any woman say no to this gorgeous man still loving him in 2024
No autotune no voice tuning. He sounded even better live than on the album. What happened to needing this level of talent to be considered a performer? This man is truly a legend. RIP
I agree with you Cindy. I literally lost my breath when he took his shirt off. From head to toe this man was the whole package - pure man ! RIP Teddy Bear🐻 Thank you for Blessing us with your passion for music.
I have never ever in my 50 years of life seen a man as sensual, sexy, charismatic and TALENTED. NOW I know how it feels like when seeing and watching someone takes your breath away.. It is real and I had never before experienced it. Now I know, Teddy Pendergrass is the most stunning and soulful man I have ever seen in my entire life. Bless your soul, Teddy.
Now you know why Teddy said some of the 'big boys' purchased front row seats for one of his performances in Philly, (I believe it was), and their ladies became so enamored with him that he could see the men becoming vehemently angry with him. He knew what those men were capable of, so he would not risk his life by doing the second show. Teddy said he lost money, but he didn't lose his life. My man Teddy.😂😂❤
To this day there hasn't been a soul singer to reach this caliber of A) vocal strength, spirit and unparalleled stage presence. B) Magnetism and sheer testosterone. C) Ability to actually sound better LIVE than the recorded studio versions of their work. Teddy Pendergrass was the Reverand James Cleveland, Marvin Gaye( Stronger pipes go to Teddy) and Jackie Wilson(Stage Presence) rolled into one. His concerts were legendary and besides being geared towards the romantic theme, his concerts were like going to a gospel jubilee. High energy and no holds barred when he hit the stage. The man had the audience completely eating out of his hand when he walked on stage and to say he was captivating was an understatement. Close the Door was a favorite I would sing to a young lady I was dating back in my teens and Needless to say I owe a debt of gratitude to Teddy for giving me some tips on how to romance a beautiful lady through song. Luther Vandross never really hit home like Pendergrass did at least to me. Like Budweiser and Budweiser Lite, Luther was teddy "lite." Meaning Luther didn't have half the swagger or charisma this man did. Vocal wise Luther had good harmony in his voice but Teddy had FIRE. Teddy had SPIRIT and you knew he was feeling the holy ghost even in his "love zone" recordings. A true legend who belongs with the ELITE of the elites. RIP Mr. Pendergrass. The Lord has brought you back home and I know that choir is in good hands now.
Michael Washington Hey Michael, how are you? No disrespect towards Marvin Gaye at all. Marvin was a very formidable singer and as far as i'm concerned a true American poet on many levels. BOTH men were the bonafide as you would say REAL deal but Teddy did have the stronger pipes. Even Gaye HIMSELF said as much. Two different style of singers but both possessing the GIFT. As far as live performances I personally prefer Teddy because he just had an energy and fire that Marvin to me didn't seem to have. Teddy had that extra "IT" that made his live performances off the charts. Vocally he was on point in his live performances and Marvin at times had a tendency to sort of not give 100 percent. BOTH sounded just as good as their studio work live but there were times Marvins voice did not project and one could barely hear him. Marvin sung from his throat and Teddy sung from his diaphragm. Big difference there. Nonetheless I RESPECT and miss them both. True American legends in my book.
Curtis Ostriker marvin and teddy not even for the same category... both EXCELLENT......... singers.... story tellers ...performers.. sexy and beautiful!... teddy to me vocal style is like a cave man.... rough .. sexy... seduccion.... beat the chocha up with his pipes... kind of man. marvin .... his voice is like fine wine.. also seduction... but a more relaxed sensual and mellow...... to me he's the trick you out of your panties.. with his smooth voice kind of man.....and will have the panties en the floor before you even know you removed them... teddy will just snatch them off!.. and there will NEVER be anyone again like those 2... just my truths... be blessed
They just don't make them like that anymore. Handsome, classy and down right a fantastic deep voice... almost all the good ones are gone now,,,teddy, luther, barry, isaac etc. they all had the music and voices that just made you wake up and listen... God Bless you Teddy no more hurt from this world....
Serious soul singer, when he walked away from the Mic and came back and said I waited all day long the power that he has as a singer / vocalist is incredible rip Teddy Pendergrass ! 👏🏽👊🏽
holy crap, this man is incredible. This is one of my all time favorite jams, and to see this performed live, I probably would've screamed just like all the ladies.... the dude is too good.
They will not be forgotten just happy that I was born to live and enjoy the great music and memories they have given us. Not like the cheap music of auto tune the music today is about money not talent
If he was here on earth, he would mentor the young black male singers such as Johnny Gill, Neyo, and Jon B into bring a lady to Estasy without having to take your shirt off and it’s about letting your voice do most of the work!
Some people just have "it" - they don't even need to try. Teddy had the deadly combination of being ridiculously handsome with a sensational voice - it also helped that he was sex on legs ... Absolutely stunning performance - today's artists should watch and weep because they can only dream of this level of talent. Very much missed 💔 ... And now we have Bruno leaving the door open - confused!
Teddy was a minister as a child. Don't know if that was Biblical, but he, like Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, Aretha and Marvin Gaye had those Church backgrounds. I'm beginning to wonder if God has a problem with his people crossing their singing over into secular music. A few of them have left here in a really bad way. Besides that, Teddy's voice was "phenominal"!!

This is a very sad day. Many gen-X'ers were conceived during Teddy Bear songs...he was the official mid 70's music to make love to! Awesome drummer with the most incredible, sexy voice ever. RIP Teddy P, you will never be forgotten. Love and blessings to your family. You are in our hearts and prayers.
Teddy was something. he said I know what to do wit it lol. Rest on, Teddy Pendergrass. He was so talented. He sounded exactly the same live as he did on the radio or record.
i'm a man and i think the performence is extraordinary. it's extremely real, no bullshit, the message is clear. sometimes i feel like i'm born too late seriously.
Teddy, Teddy, Teddy. You really had it all. What an amazing talent. The sound of Philly. Thank you for the music and the memories that went with it. Peace.
Yes, Teddy can definitely inspire a woman to crave what he gives! I loved him since he first recorded this song, and so many others. I still feel the sensuality of his performance to this day! Geez, where is a man I can transfer that to! God bless your soul, Teddy. I will see you again.
Uncle Teddy doin' it big time here bringin' that chocolate thunder. Very surprised panties weren't getting thrown onto the stage during this performance.
Loved this man since he started singing when I was young with the very first love of my life, who I am still iñ love with. I hear him singing and chills come over me. May he RIP knowing how his songs meant so much to so many
My mother and my grandmother would jam to this black bearded man all the times, Teddy one of the best singers of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes 🎶🎶🎶 changed the game of music , that explains how great he was You closed the door 🚪 for the future until the day you died RIP Thank you TP
Will always love Teddy....there will never be another. I am so glad I was growing up in this time...saw him in concert several times, will never forget it, he was greater than great. Sexy man. May you rest in peace as you legend lives on. I am so glad we have your music.
WOW!! Phenomenal performer. Today's artist couldn't dream of being this talented. The 70's and 80's offered artist with legendary talent. Teddy, Marvin, Whitney, Anita.......true legends.
I know that everyone's focus is the dripping sexuality in this video (which is very understandable), but man, listen to the quality of that live music. The horns, the tapping percussion.....this is old skool R&B music at it's highest level.
The Trendsetter. The Bar Raiser. The GOAT!!! An Apostolic Reverential Divine Masculine Experience. The likes of which has never been and probably will never be seen again!! Rest In Power and Reside in Heaven my Brother Teddy Pendergrass!!!
Oh, boy! Classic song! Extraordinary performer! Mr P was just absolutely phenomenal! Can't still get enough of his stuff after over three decades of listening to him. No one like this roaring lion!❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Most of the R&B singers of today wish that they could generate this kind of response. He was charisma from head to toe. He held the audience in the palm of his hand and they did what he wanted them to do.
Thats really soul feeling!! Very handsome .Really Brother to me.Real soft and nice.Hi I come from Italy Venezia. A very beautiful place to be..ciaooo Ciaoo.Stay with me .Like two diffrent culture .Also i enjoyed.Ciaoo.
175 lbs. of pure testosterone and muscle. this old school music will never fade away... it is timeless. 100 yrs from now , folks will find this music and it will have the same sensual effect as it did in the 70's and today. words makes the best music, word that are images. these young " rappers" of today , will never hold a candle to teddy pendergrass or barry white or issac hayes; their words created images that burn into to your heart.
Man was an uncut diamond!!Pure haven and sheer joy just watching and listening him perform here....crowds response is nowhere near how it should be!......RIP Teddy Pandergrass,you brought joy to all of our lives with your music and for that l think we will forever be gratefull.You will truly be missed
LMAO.. TEDDY SAID I KNOW WHAT 2 DO WITH IT!! GIVE IT UP!! I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT TEDDY!! I WAS ONLY 5YRS OLD WHEN THIS WAS OUT,BUT MOM PLAYED YOUR MUSIC ALL THE TIME,N I GREW UP ON SO MANY GREAT 60'S,70' N 80'S ARTIST!! MIND BLOWING MEMORIES ;) REST N PEACE..TEDDY
***** my definition of "the swag king of R&B" is he brought something different to the R&B game, like Luther, Marvin, Otis, Stevie, Sam, Lou, Isaac & Freddie just to name a few. His stage presence and quality in his recordings is what you call R&B. He changed the pinnacle for all male singers involved at the time. His baritone and "swagger" is what set him apart. Had he not had that accident, he well could've been the biggest R&B star in the manner that Luther, Marvin and Stevie Wonder did. Yet their versions of R&B are totally different. That's what I was implying.
If not for the accident. He would have challenged Michael. Think about it. By’82, Teddy was 32 and Michael was 24. 8 years separating them but damn, women would have posters and promotions would have been OUT OF SIGHT.
@@Jetsea The men of R&B were showing out. So many talents. Teddy was going where no other artist (maybe Prince) was going. He held R&B down, but I wondered what if he went the pop route and didn't have that accident.
Please make note of the fact this man is singing LIVE! Ultimate R&B vocalist and entertainer! R.I.P My Teddy.................
Oh yes
Yes!! He Was! So frigging talented 💖💖💖💖🐻🎶🎶🎶🐻💖🐻💖🐻💖💖💖
@@ellawaller382 when your live performance is better than the the studio. No helps needed. Beyond awesome.
CORRECT ‼️. I said the EXACT thing‼️. 9/2020
Of course he is!
Teddy was 28 when this concert was filmed in Lake Tahoe, CA in Feb. 1979. At the end of this song, the audience gave Teddy a spontaneous standing ovation.
28 turning 29... Oh the optics. Not a care in the world!
lj8
Yes o yet
and the females were dripping in their knickers too loool
I can see why!
He takes my breath away total stage control the voice the beard the perfect teeth the wife beater vest how could any woman say no to this gorgeous man still loving him in 2024
Sexy vest 🔥love the physique outline🎶🎶🎶🤝
Lindo 1.85 de pura beleza.
What would he accomplished if he was still with us
❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏
No autotune no voice tuning. He sounded even better live than on the album. What happened to needing this level of talent to be considered a performer? This man is truly a legend. RIP
What a Loss him and Donny Hathaway were right in their prime!
@@kencody4287 How did he die? Did he drown in Pussy?
@@philou425 ok, this made me laugh!!!
Absolutely brilliant love him
No other like Teddy. One of a kind, we lost him way too soon. I wish he never had that accident.
Ohhhh my god! This could wake up a 90 yr old woman's hormones. Gosh, he was amazing!! Love you Teddy RIP.
Right
I agree with you Cindy. I literally lost my breath when he took his shirt off. From head to toe this man was the whole package - pure man ! RIP Teddy Bear🐻
Thank you for Blessing us with your passion for music.
I love love love this song
Cindy Weir - that’s the best comment I’ve read 😂😂class 👍👍
Lol!!!
Still gives me the chills watching and listening to him, feel sorry for the ladies of today, their is no one like Teddy P
Rhonda R clements you are so right the men was so handsome back then
Teddy was so sexy. His voice was-omg! I get the chills too listening to him and looking at him.
True facts
You say that again
No need to feel bad for us. He liked the men🤷🏿♀️
This is almost 30 years old, and still sexy as hell. Teddy, you were an original.
Mary McMullin More like 40 yrs 🙃
I wasn’t even born yet, but WOW...I am in awe! I think I have a crush on a dead man. 😕 What a specimen. It’s fascinating, really.
👑KING TEDDY👑
Love him! 28-05-2019
Mary McMullin this song came out 1978 so 41 years ago
Unfortunately ,he is in heaven...
There will never be any singer as good as Teddy.... His voice was unbelievable.......as well as his stage presence.......
Who is still in love with the teddy Bear?
I am
meeeeee
Fell in love with him in 1974 and have yet to see a more gorgeous man ❤️❤️❤️
He was such a sexy man🥵
I’ve been in love with him since 1974 and I still am today xx
This song got me through a horrible break up Teddy made me feel loved at my lowest 2024
Glad this was my era. I wouldn’t trade 70s and 80s R&B for the homogenized stuff they have today. Teddy, Luther, Barry, Marvin, Isleys… Thank you… ❤️
I know, I was born in the 1960's. This 2020's crappy, poor empty souls.
AMEN 🎉😊
Honey, I was a DJ in this era. From 1981 till 1990. I played at clubs playing Disco Dance music.
Yes ❤ youths of today don't or can't even imagine this era of real music, really singing, live bands & musicians!❤❤❤❤😊
Your so right so many wonderful artists of this era ❤
I have never ever in my 50 years of life seen a man as sensual, sexy, charismatic and TALENTED. NOW I know how it feels like when seeing and watching someone takes your breath away..

@@sandraatkins2539 -Teddy was the TOTAL package. No man in an audience can come close to him.
@@citygirlingraham Teddy was such a gorgeous man.
Absolutely all true. He was so sexy.🥰
To this day there hasn't been a soul singer to reach this caliber of A) vocal strength, spirit and unparalleled stage presence.
B) Magnetism and sheer testosterone.

Teddy Pendergrass was the Reverand James Cleveland, Marvin Gaye( Stronger pipes go to Teddy) and Jackie Wilson(Stage Presence) rolled into one.
His concerts were legendary and besides being geared towards the romantic theme,
his concerts were like going to a gospel jubilee. High energy and no holds barred when he hit the stage. The man had the audience completely eating out of his hand when he walked on stage and to say he was captivating was an understatement.
Close the Door was a favorite I would sing to a young lady I was dating back in my teens and Needless to say I owe a debt of gratitude to Teddy for giving me some tips on how
to romance a beautiful lady through song.

A true legend who belongs with the ELITE of the elites.
RIP Mr. Pendergrass. The Lord has brought you back home and I know that choir is in good hands now.
Teddy is a favorite of mine but please do not disrespect Marvin by saying Teddy is a better singer ..SMH
Michael Washington Hey Michael, how are you? No disrespect towards Marvin Gaye at all. Marvin was a very formidable singer and as far as i'm concerned a true American poet on many levels.
BOTH men were the bonafide as you would say REAL deal but Teddy did have the stronger pipes.
Even Gaye HIMSELF said as much.
Two different style of singers but both possessing the GIFT.
As far as live performances I personally prefer Teddy because he just had an energy and fire that Marvin to me didn't seem to have. Teddy had that extra "IT" that made his live performances off the charts. Vocally he was on point in his live performances and Marvin at times had a tendency to sort of not give 100 percent.

Big difference there.
Nonetheless I RESPECT and miss them both. True American legends in my book.
Curtis Ostriker marvin and teddy not even for the same category... both EXCELLENT......... singers.... story tellers ...performers.. sexy and beautiful!...
teddy to me vocal style is like a cave man.... rough .. sexy... seduccion.... beat the chocha up with his pipes... kind of man.
marvin .... his voice is like fine wine.. also seduction... but a more relaxed sensual and mellow......
to me he's the trick you out of your panties.. with his smooth voice kind of man.....and will have the panties en the floor before you even know you removed them...
teddy will just snatch them off!..
and there will NEVER be anyone again like those 2...
just my truths...
be blessed
Hey, I LIKE THAT. Nice analogy. BOTH masters at their game which is the BEST we will see for a loooooong time.
I agree !!
It's unhealthy how many times I've watched this sorry I have to close the door 🔥🔥❤️🎶😍😂🍀

God Bless you Teddy no more hurt from this world....
Like how cool is GOD just ask teddy hes ready to sing in Heaven
That actually takes guts to perform like that on stage. Teddy had the body language to match the voice!
That’s what I’m talking bout 😮💨💯🔥☄️🎶🎶🎶DONE 😋lost and don’t want to be found ✨✨👏🏼🎶💜🔥
I’ve played this about a dozen times today. Omg!!! His voice, body, omg!!!
🥰 Yes he was amazing!!! So sad that He suffered so much… I can always hear his voice!!🕊
Me the same
Yea you know his back is strong 💪 rest in paradise Mr Teddy I hope he knows people still making babies off your music
Serious soul singer, when he walked away from the Mic and came back and said I waited all day long the power that he has as a singer / vocalist is incredible rip Teddy Pendergrass ! 👏🏽👊🏽
Can not help myself making another comment. Just love this guy and miss him and his 🎵 so damn much. No music like that anymore, can't be HE'S GONE!
who ever still has this footage wow I was just born in 1979, but this a hell of a performance!!!! black people we need to make music like this again

He raised the bar on how male singers should perform for their audiences.
Hello how are you doing today I hope you are a very beautiful day today and how is the weather over there
holy crap, this man is incredible. This is one of my all time favorite jams, and to see this performed live, I probably would've screamed just like all the ladies.... the dude is too good.
So sexy!
This is a master piece
WHAT A BLESSING TEDDY WAS. HE LEFT OUR WORLD WAY TOO EARLY 🙏🏼GOD BLESS TEDDY. HES SINGING FOR GOD IN HEAVEN
Wow watching , and listening to this song - here in 2024 makes me hot for Teddy ! Thank you , and bless you ! I text this song to a few!
Man teddy killed this performance rip to a legend
I love this man...right on time with Marvin Gaye, EWF, Al Jarreau, Barry White et al ! Simply AS LEGEND.....
They will not be forgotten just happy that I was born to live and enjoy the great music and memories they have given us. Not like the cheap music of auto tune the music today is about money not talent
If he was here on earth, he would mentor the young black male singers such as Johnny Gill, Neyo, and Jon B into bring a lady to Estasy without having to take your shirt off and it’s about letting your voice do most of the work!
You know when Teddy told you "Close the Door", you ran for it! This is when grown men made music! RIP, Mr. Pendergrass.
Some people just have "it" - they don't even need to try. Teddy had the deadly combination of being ridiculously handsome with a sensational voice - it also helped that he was sex on legs ... Absolutely stunning performance - today's artists should watch and weep because they can only dream of this level of talent. Very much missed 💔 ... And now we have Bruno leaving the door open - confused!
😍yes indeed
Yes indeed
Hermosa imagen, bella canción, voz profunda, sexy, elegante, me encanta, ya no hay cantantes así,enamoran sólo de oírlo
bout Bruno kkkkkk Lol
I saw what you did there 😄😄
Nobody can sing like Teddy, gifted in every way!
Teddy was a minister as a child. Don't know if that was Biblical, but he, like Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, Aretha and Marvin Gaye had those Church backgrounds. I'm beginning to wonder if God has a problem with his people crossing their singing over into secular music. A few of them have left here in a really bad way. Besides that, Teddy's voice was "phenominal"!!

If we only had soul singers like this today. Singers that moved your soul as well as your body. RIP to a legend
Who could beat this man? nobody!!!!! sexy,soulful and smooooooth, he has given us so much,left us with so much,thank you,Teddy,RIP

teddy p was one of the finest old skool gentlemen who knew how to sing to the audience. what a shame that he was injured in his prime.
I got chills...
That voice, that body, that charisma, that SOUL

OMG, this gorgeous man was amazing visually and audibly. Still takes my breath away watching him perform now as he did 30 years ago!x
Hello how are you doing today I hope you are a very beautiful day today and how is the weather over there

Teddy is maybe a singer who comes out once in 100 years in my personal opinion.
Yes he is a 10 never been another no 28 look like this today
Watched this video thousands of times. Oh my!
Lusty thoughts for Teddy 😳😳😳
Girl, you got that right!!!!
This is a fabulous performance. Teddy gives it all. It's fun to hear/watch the audience reaction.
Yes, Teddy can definitely inspire a woman to crave what he gives! I loved him since he first recorded this song, and so many others. I still feel the sensuality of his performance to this day! Geez, where is a man I can transfer that to! God bless your soul, Teddy. I will see you again.
Wow ❤
What a great voice Teddy had - like warm honey.
Pure joy.. this man truly

Hello how are you doing today I hope you are a very beautiful day today and how is the weather over there's
Wow, he said let me blow your mind and he pointed to the sky. And those horns playing right on time. There's no one like him...
Watching Teddy in his younger years excited me more than I care to admit 🤗😍😳
Hello how are you doing today I hope you are a very beautiful day today and how is the weather over there
He's a man's man. It's 2024. Teddy you could never be replaced. Thank you for the memories over the years. 👍❤️
Uncle Teddy doin' it big time here bringin' that chocolate thunder. Very surprised panties weren't getting thrown onto the stage during this performance.
He lets his voice, the song, and his presence seduce the audience without having to take his shirt off! That is pure talent!
Teddy, singer/ performer. At the absolute top of his game ! Tragic....., much loved and missed 💕
Saw him and Stephanie Mills live in 1981 for my 17th birthday...Best concert ever
Girl, I know they did they did the thang with Feel The Fire! Mercy
To the world Teddy was a son, a friend, a lover, an artist...But too Philadelphia he was "OURS"......We will always love you Teddy!
Now this is soul music...This is how you entertain the crowd... RIP to a legend
I wouldve loved to have been at this concert !!! Jesus take the wheel LOL
Really me too, just to look into hes eyes
He’s so dang dreamy 🤤 if I can’t have a man that looks like this, I don’t want one! And the voiceeeeee. So obsessed
the definition of GROWN FOLK music!
What ever happened to songs like this?? miss this music xxx
Teddy was one of the greatest I miss his music so much his vocals were awesome😮
Loved this man since he started singing when I was young with the very first love of my life, who I am still iñ love with. I hear him singing and chills come over me. May he RIP knowing how his songs meant so much to so many
My mother and my grandmother would jam to this black bearded man all the times, Teddy one of the best singers of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes 🎶🎶🎶
changed the game of music , that explains how great he was
You closed the door 🚪 for the future until the day you died RIP
Thank you TP
I remember watching this on tv in like 1980, OMG, damn that car accident!
I watched on HBO. Several times.
Will always love Teddy....there will never be another. I am so glad I was growing up in this time...saw him in concert several times, will never forget it, he was greater than great. Sexy man. May you rest in peace as you legend lives on. I am so glad we have your music.
Hello how are you doing today I hope you are a very beautiful day today and how is the weather over there
When he sings “I know what to do with it !” Someone hand me a towel and a cold drank .
Fetch me the smelling salts!!
If he had stepped towards me I would have closed that door quicker than an Olympic 100 meter runner ❤️❤️❤️
😮🤣🤣🤣🥲🤭🫦🔥🎶👏🏼
I remember as a child, my mother wore this album out!!! It was a masterpiece. You will be missed Teddy.
that man said give it up 😍😍😍
I like the part where he said "Give it up GAL".I have the LIVE ALBUM IN CONCERT.........PRICELESS
This so freekin GOOD. I have never seen this side of Teddy..... DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!
WOW!! Phenomenal performer. Today's artist couldn't dream of being this talented. The 70's and 80's offered artist with legendary talent. Teddy, Marvin, Whitney, Anita.......true legends.
Teddy is showing his showmanship in this video. Bless you Teddy.

Hello how are you doing today I hope you are a very beautiful day today and how is the weather over there's
Teddy was the man damn!!! My goodness. "I know what to do with it."
ONE of the best male singers in existence. . The best. . A powerful voice and a sublime appearance. . Perfect. . Timeless ❤️🌟❤️
I remember my mother used to love her some Teddy Pendergrass back when I was a kid.
I get it now. 😏
Most of the R&B singers of today wish that they could generate this kind of response. He was charisma from head to toe. He held the audience in the palm of his hand and they did what he wanted them to do.

He was definitely the total package. I can only imagine being old enough to be at one of those concerts.
I was
175 lbs. of pure testosterone and muscle. this old school music will never fade away... it is timeless. 100 yrs from now , folks will find this music and it will have the same sensual effect as it did in the 70's and today. words makes the best music, word that are images. these young " rappers" of today , will never hold a candle to teddy pendergrass or barry white or issac hayes; their words created images that burn into to your heart.
Unreal performance.. so natural.. God bless us men with this naturalistic love
Back when singers actually had talent

The swag king of R&B.
***** my definition of "the swag king of R&B" is he brought something different to the R&B game, like Luther, Marvin, Otis, Stevie, Sam, Lou, Isaac & Freddie just to name a few. His stage presence and quality in his recordings is what you call R&B. He changed the pinnacle for all male singers involved at the time. His baritone and "swagger" is what set him apart. Had he not had that accident, he well could've been the biggest R&B star in the manner that Luther, Marvin and Stevie Wonder did. Yet their versions of R&B are totally different. That's what I was implying.
If not for the accident. He would have challenged Michael. Think about it.
By’82, Teddy was 32 and Michael was 24. 8 years separating them but damn, women would have posters and promotions would have been OUT OF SIGHT.
@@Jetsea The men of R&B were showing out. So many talents. Teddy was going where no other artist (maybe Prince) was going. He held R&B down, but I wondered what if he went the pop route and didn't have that accident.
@@DavidRichardson95 I wonder that myself.
Saw Teddy in concert in San Diego back in the early 80's. OMG! What a night!
give it up, set if off, let me have it, give it up!! see i know what to do with it! yesssssssss Teddy!
