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....
There's Teddy Pendergrass and then there's everyone else. Incomparable. Reconciling this performance with the circumstances surrounding his accident...WTF, man.
4:49 - Those guys faces..lol..They feel totally outclassed..Reminds me of being at a dance and seeing the Black guys on the dance floor with the women swarming around them..lol
Come here Girl, and bring that lovely Smile, with you and close the door, so I can give you exactly what you've been looking for, LOVE! Close that door allow me to blow your mind and steal your heart, get here S.T., get here Girl! ILTWYMF Baby!
@@sharrontaylor8003 Wow, My Queen, Your so Beautiful to Me, and Your lovely smile simply amazes me whenever, I see it....You put a spell on me and I like it, no, I love it......... Come here Girl let me kiss you all over starting with your smile, that would nice for sure. LYEML
Without the car crash in '82. The 80's would've been even better. Teddy, Smokey, James, Luther, Peabo, Jeffery and Michael would have been truly great rivals.
The only male vocalist that could do Teddy P's songs any justice right now is Christopher Williams. Look him up on youtube doing a Teddy medley. The man is on fire singing "Come And Go With Me". Teddy Bear, yes!!!!
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
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.
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.
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 ! 👏🏽👊🏽
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.
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!
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.😂😂❤
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
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.
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!
Ho la musique super il faut être deux pour prendre son pieds cela à été mon cas à Hambourg et à Londres Dommage il ne savait pas écouter se qu’il chantait on ne cour pas après le sex mais il vient à nous merci pour les bons moments MR Théodore Dereese et pour shuchana toujours heureuse de t écouter Love jv

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.
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.
Uncle Teddy doin' it big time here bringin' that chocolate thunder. Very surprised panties weren't getting thrown onto the stage during this performance.
"Let me do what I want to do...all I wanna do is make love to you!" Go head, playa! This song was the ANTHEM back in the day. Man, nothing beats old school music. Teddy was IT. Still is. R.I.P. Teddy Bear and walk tall with the angels.
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
Honey, I don't think there was a girl of any color that didn't think TP was crazy, sexy, cool. I sure didn't know any. He was the epitome of hot. I was just explaining to a young friend that back in the 70s, TV n radio was heavily censored so TP couldn't bust out his moves like, say Prince did. Good thing really, cause I'm certain there would have been a LOT of women fall out, literally. Yes I would have been one.
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.
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 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"!!

Without the car crash in '82. The 80's would've been even better. Teddy, Smokey, James, Luther, Peabo, Jeffery and Michael would have been truly great rivals.
The only male vocalist that could do Teddy P's songs any justice right now is Christopher Williams. Look him up on youtube doing a Teddy medley. The man is on fire singing "Come And Go With Me". Teddy Bear, yes!!!!
Natural voice no computer crap
Oh he can get it today 2020

What would he accomplished if he was still with us
❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏
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.
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🤷🏿♀️
Please make note of the fact this man is singing LIVE! Ultimate R&B vocalist and entertainer! R.I.P My Teddy.................

@@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!
There will never be any singer as good as Teddy.... His voice was unbelievable.......as well as his stage presence.......
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!
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.

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
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 😄😄
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...

@@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.🥰
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 hate to be that guy, but after watching this video I've got to say it. They just don't make music like that anymore. That's right, I said it, Uh!
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.
Man teddy killed this performance rip to a legend
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.
Dammit this man was oozing and dripping sex appeal...i bet he knew what to do with it❤️❤️❤️
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!
I would have slammed that door and locked it!
Rhonda Clements 🔐
that was foul to say
😂😂😂
This made me laugh
Lmao 😂
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 ❤️❤️❤️
😮🤣🤣🤣🥲🤭🫦🔥🎶👏🏼
He is perfection 😍😘
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
Pure sexiness

Back when singers actually had talent
Dont make me cry bro😢
That is a Man’s voice , not no high pitch girl voice
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
One of the best Fxxx songs of all time.... For any young people get of your phones and computers and get into the groove... this is life..😢
Lord have mercy!!! There will NEVER be another Teddy!! thank you for your legacy!
Watched this video thousands of times. Oh my!
Lusty thoughts for Teddy 😳😳😳
Girl, you got that right!!!!
I THINK I'M PREGNANT NOW AFTER LISTENING TO THIS SONG AND I CAN'T GET PREGNANT I'M 60 YEARS OLD THAT'S OK I STILL CAN DREAM ABOUT IT 😆
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
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.
Hello how are you doing today I hope you are a very beautiful day today and how is the weather over there's
WHAT A BLESSING TEDDY WAS. HE LEFT OUR WORLD WAY TOO EARLY 🙏🏼GOD BLESS TEDDY. HES SINGING FOR GOD IN HEAVEN
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.
king of sexy'ness teddy babyyyyy!!!!!!
This is a fabulous performance. Teddy gives it all. It's fun to hear/watch the audience reaction.
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.
If we only had soul singers like this today. Singers that moved your soul as well as your body. RIP to a legend
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
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
Never be another!
10th Anniversary of Teddy's death is next month, Jan. 13, 2010; let's blast social media with his music and pictures!
Yes
He got a standing ovation---and he sure deserved it. Great performance.
Uncle Teddy doin' it big time here bringin' that chocolate thunder. Very surprised panties weren't getting thrown onto the stage during this performance.
"Let me do what I want to do...all I wanna do is make love to you!" Go head, playa! This song was the ANTHEM back in the day. Man, nothing beats old school music. Teddy was IT. Still is. R.I.P. Teddy Bear and walk tall with the angels.
Well said
"CLOSE-THE-DOOR" come here baby!!
Come here woman!!!!!!
You know when Teddy told you "Close the Door", you ran for it! This is when grown men made music! RIP, Mr. Pendergrass.
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

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. 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
Hey, I LIKE THAT. Nice analogy. BOTH masters at their game which is the BEST we will see for a loooooong time.
I agree !!
I feel sorry for the men that came to this show with their women, lol.
give it up, set if off, let me have it, give it up!! see i know what to do with it! yesssssssss Teddy!
Teddy was the man damn!!! My goodness. "I know what to do with it."
What a great voice Teddy had - like warm honey.
Pure joy.. this man truly
I was in my early teens living in Detroit, a white girl, and found this man SO fucking hot!!!
Honey, I don't think there was a girl of any color that didn't think TP was crazy, sexy, cool. I sure didn't know any. He was the epitome of hot. I was just explaining to a young friend that back in the 70s, TV n radio was heavily censored so TP couldn't bust out his moves like, say Prince did. Good thing really, cause I'm certain there would have been a LOT of women fall out, literally. Yes I would have been one.
Here I am again, watching this video for the 100th time. I just can't help myself.
Gwan girl. 😄
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 ❤
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.
🎉 yes sexy lady
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"!!

Actually his son looks and sounds just like him
What about Marvin?
I remember watching this on tv in like 1980, OMG, damn that car accident!
