I accidentally stumbled across it, and I'm so happy I did. I was expecting Kenny Rogers or Richie at first, what a pleasant surprise. Btw I'm 24 years old.
His mother braved six miscarriages to get to Teddy, this was her only child. Now, she's over 100 and is still with us, bless her. Edit & update: His mother Ida Pendergrass died at the age of 104 on Wednesday, July 20, 2022
This is a perfect example of mature love. No games, ego trips, or mistreatment of his woman. He's not afraid to show his true feelings because he knows that the love that he has for his woman is reciprocated. Because when you treat someone well. That's what you get in return ❣️❣️
I feel the same way about this song as 3 weeks ago. I just want to add this: if a man dedicated this song to me, I'd never leave. Because a man who expresses his feelings this boldly is a keeper. No matter his problems, I know him having this type of love for me, he'd never be cruel to me.
Have you heard of Luther Vandross? This is stellar of course by the late great legend. Luther blew the stage up as well. Superstar is the song check it out. For the remake of songs by great male performers 🤙🏽💪🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💙🌈🙏🏽
He would have “crossed over” with this song and ge knew it. That’s why he was planning to record it but never got the chance - his accident happened right after this concert.
I totally agree. This is what I call amazing. I can not go to sleep as I restart this for the 10th time. My wife is snoring and this is how I feel for her. Wow Love is amazing.
Still regretting not being able to attend a concert. Always will be 😢 Grateful for all the beautiful music that comes from his legacy 🌊✨✨✨✨👏🏼👏🏼🎤💜 When he hits those last notes … I’m DONE 🤣…. His sultry baritone voice lays me out during the closing part of this performance….the high notes, lyrics, everything 😢beautiful song and voice 😰💥🌤️✨🪐
Wow! This concert was 40 years ago! 40 years later, and this song is still timeless! Teddy nailed this song especially at the end along with the musicians playing with him!
Songs like this cause an agonizing ache in my heart for my mama bc she lost my daddy 1/28/22. He was the love of her life, and she was his. A blessing to their entire legacy.
I grew up listening to Teddy as a kid. My mother stayed playing Teddy. I use to ask my mother.. Ma, why you always put your hand in the air with your eyes close and moving your head.. she said,when you get older you'll understand. ( I do now) lol
@IRON MAN Ha! Famous words from my momma also. The world was so open back then. I mean I asked my mother about Teddy ha I was 8. I could see and feel his soul then and deeper now as a momma.
When you're truly talented you don't need all the tricks, dancers, and the lights on the stage to accompany you. His voice, his presence and his, lyrics are entertainment enough. He's truly One in a Million!
nelson cooper. Nah not one of the best , the best. Teddy Pendergrass aka Teddy P and Marvin Gaye are the best male singers ive heard in my 36 year of existence
Listen to Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie, sing "Lady" two beautiful voices. Tip my hat to Lionel Richie, for writing such a beautiful song.But Teddy Pendergrass took "Lady" to another level.That beautiful baritone voice took it to another Epic level.
I know Lionel Ritchie wrote this song for Kenny Rogers, but nobody sings this song like Teddy. My boyfriend introduced me to this song and I cried the first time I heard it. What a BEAUTIFUL expression of love. We miss you Teddy❤.
Watched the documentary today & was blown away. I search for the song as soon as the documentary was finished. Simply amazing. Saving this for my wedding!
I lived through his story growing up in Philadelphia..happy to see the showtime special but its bone chilling to relive the events of what happened to this amazing entertainer. Was at that Sixers game the night it happened
🤎🤎🤎🤎Oh my goodness….this brought tears to my eyes. The passion in his voice and face made me feel it deep in my soul. No other like the incomparable Mr. Teddy P. Jan 2025🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
And let me tell this,the most fucked thing is the fact the because of completion in between talented people like Michael jackson and prince is the cause that artist felt the need to outshine each other...
Why do people make dumb ass comments like this? Duh! It’s 1982. What the hell do you expect? And what’s wrong with pyro and half naked men and women. That’s part of entertainment. So I fail to see your point. There’s nothing wrong with Teddy’s presentation or any other artist that chooses to do it their way. It’s like people don’t realize that times change.
Not sure if anyone has noticed that the days of real love songs when music about love is sincere and genuine. When men took pride in making efforts to land a woman they really love. Days of Teddy, Barry, Jacksons, Bee Gees Al Green ... Those days Are Gone!! Today, we sing about murder, rape and beating etc. More worryingly, women are increasingly behaving like men and may well be spending time and resources to get a man of their dream... What a generational change
I remember an still live those days. It inside of everyone! just let it out. Love, Respect,Self love,Happiness.Honesty,If we have all that an then some,We can bring those old days back.
Teddy was a gift from GOD. What an amazing talent. His performances were a spiritual experience on a level that few could hope to reach. He’ll live forever through his incredible music. 🙏🏾
Yes, that’s why I have watched this video, over and over. And it so sad, cause, after this he was never again the same. It’s like u can feel the accident coming . And he was just getting started. His documentary and so good. I have watched it, so many times. It’s just so good. They did a great job on Teddy’s. I have never watched a documentary that was so well put together. It touches you on every level.
I was lucky enough to be at this concert in London in 1982, and all these years later this song still gives me chills.. Teddy was completely unique. Missed but never forgotten.
T Treasured,Teddy was a great entertainer. yes he was a very unique, kind hearted, loving ,funny, great sense of humor, talented man. I pray God will bless more men to have his fabulous personality.TeddyBear was super role model.The world needs more of his kind.Love You Teddy.RIP
I love the lyrics. This is how a man should feel and think about his lady. That's a lot of real love. Once you experience it you will never settle for less! The voice is awesome but the love is the greatest.
@@michaeloverton2437 1:44am. Can't sleep. November 14th 2020. Looking at RUclips. Listening to "Teddy" singing "Lady" and "Somebody told me to deliver this message." I love listening to his music because it takes your mind off a lot of the chaos that's going on in the world today. Love & Blessings to us all.
Hi edagdwg God blessed this special man with a forever loving gift to share his life and love with the world miss him a forever loving fan Linda j.peace
Teddy changed the whole dynamics of this song. He sung it with great power. I’ve listened to this song over and over a million times and it takes my breath away every time.
Everytime I hear this song sung by him it brings tears to my eyes. No one sings this song the way he did. The emotion that he put into it makes you feel every word.
Man we living in sad days where we glorify being single, people get married to be divorced and when you love with all of your heart as man it's a sign of weakness... this is the beauty of love that speaks to my soul
💫✨@StreetPhat::Thank you for sharing/explaining this reality about the depth of a man’s love and the accepted misnomer (sad to say) that you’re weak as a man if you do . . .mine has for nearly 40 years now!💫✨
Right after I finished listening to this song both of my neighbors came over and told my wife and I that they were pregnant. My wife decided to check and she was too! 😁
I’m a young Guy and his energy and voice shows he put his Heart and Soul into what he sang. This fella was too smooth;would take yo woman in a heartbeat. 😁Rip TEDDY ONE OF GREATEST!!!
Absolutely! That's why I think his car was sabotaged to cause that accident! I'm here in 2022, watching the documentary, with tears streaming down my eyes in sadness. RIP Teddy, we still love you, even in death!🙏🏽♥️
💜🩵💚Another hit written by the talented Lionel Ritchie for Kenny Rogers (recorded in 1980); and perfected by the great Teddy Pendergrass! FYI: 🔹Teddy P was only 25yrs old when he left Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in 1975 to begin his solo career. He was 20yrs old when he joined the group in 1970 as a drummer. 🔸Teddy P also recorded the song, “Hold Me,” with Whitney Houston for her 1985 debut album. It appeared on his album “Love Language” in 1984. 😍Yes, I’ve been a Teddy Pendergrass fan even before his “Ladies Only" concerts!
@@marthaespinosa6264 NO, Lionel Ritchie WROTE, this song specifically for Kenny Rodgers. I like both versions, Teddy's just have more power & soul to it.
I had never heard this song, by Teddy Pendergrass, until Now. I had no warning; so, I didn't have time to put on my life jacket to protect me from the lyrics of 💓 felt 💔 passion and desire. Now, I'm drowning in your love. Save me.......
He was planning your record this song when he returned to the US - he was getting ready to use this song to cross over and become an International Star. But a month after this performance came the accident. This is the ONLY recording of Teddy singing this song.😢
You do... Jesus loves you so much more... He gave his life for you! As far as a human man just wait... When you're ready God will bring him to you, don't rush looking for him, when God's thru with him and he's worthy of your heart, and your heart is ready to receive him You will meet each other and know.. Don't go looking, do you, Your children if any, stay busy... Sending you Nothing but Blessings!! Just Wait💕
Absolutely, the most heart felt words sung by an incredible man. WOW! A voice so powerful, so filled with emotion, so great, so moving...I am blessed to be able to just hit the repeat button a million times!!!!!!!
Sonia, your words express my feelings EXACTLY. I'm 74 years old and Teddy has been my favorite for years. I still have several of his vinyl records. My treasure.
2024 and still the best live performance and arrangement of all time. Across all genres.
42 years later, I’m only 23 and you still touch us Teddy🕊️
Spoken so incredibly beautifully ❤…. Me and my man play him everyday, non negotiable
One of the best. I might put Marvin Gaye's Distant Lover slightly above if not even. ruclips.net/video/XSEmL3is76g/видео.html Then again Teddy was killing it here ruclips.net/video/3HklcUvW-5U/видео.html
My wedding song
I listen to this at least once a week. Well, I play it over and over, because there's always some nuance that I missed.
They were true professionals back then.
Anybody else watch this 10000 times and still obsessed!
Past week
DAMN SKIPPY Teddy owned his craft with pure authenticity
YES, about a million and still counting,lol
10001!!! Yes, I am obsessed!!! Teddy had a pure, natural voice.
Yes me
This is a song I play from time to time. I think of all the things I fell in love with my wife and now she struggling with dementia. I’m riding with you till the end baby. This song reminds me of my love for my wife.

There's no one who makes music like this in 2024
I agree...
October london
So true.
I accidentally stumbled across it, and I'm so happy I did. I was expecting Kenny Rogers or Richie at first, what a pleasant surprise. Btw I'm 24 years old.
No so thank God for youtube
His mother braved six miscarriages to get to Teddy, this was her only child. Now, she's over 100 and is still with us, bless her.
Edit & update: His mother Ida Pendergrass died at the age of 104 on Wednesday, July 20, 2022
Powerful, she is "Truly Blessed"🙏💯🎶🎵😇
She was happy when she was pregnant with him that's why he was teddy
What?! Wow, so sorry for her loss. May her heart be healed and may her son RIP
Wow..God bless her.. This performance is moving.
@@DG-Muzak amen
Nobody, I mean NOBODY singing like that these days...my goodness I love his voice.
@kiki cook he most def could’ve done a cover of this song and it would’ve been appreciated.
They can't not in a million years they have nooooooo love within their hearts ♥ they're heartless 💔
Yeees!
Nobody CAN sing like this these days.
Same thing I said

Absolutely ❤
Amen, you hit the nail on the head. Such passion❤❤❤❤❤.
Sung from the heart ❤️
His rendition of this song is magical!❤
@odessahallmenefee you ain't never lied!!
I have watched this hundreds of time.
I honestly believe that his is the absolute best soul performance of all time.
Have you heard of Luther Vandross? This is stellar of course by the late great legend. Luther blew the stage up as well. Superstar is the song check it out. For the remake of songs by great male performers 🤙🏽💪🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💙🌈🙏🏽
I 100% agree the soul. Can only be torn open so wide lol 😂
He would have “crossed over” with this song and ge knew it. That’s why he was planning to record it but never got the chance - his accident happened right after this concert.
Lol so have i
Might have to agree!!!
He sang the hell out of this song. Can listen to it 100 times over and still gives you chills
Good morning how are you doing today I hope you are fine and how is the weather over there
absolutely 💯 % my teddy 🧸 bear!
Yes he did I love this song
I agree
Yes he did. No more Teddy in these days, of sad music
Wow this concert was just one month before his accident.. He is still one of the greatest voices of our time! Love you Teddy! ❤️❤️❤️
He never even got the chance to record this in studio 🤦🏽♂️ damn
@@thenotoriousrin ahhhh that explains why I can’t find it! 😭
@@sallymcmullin it’s Lionel Richie’s song he was just covering it

Mr TP
If you were able to attend a Teddy P concert, consider yourself blessed
I was blessed to see him in circa 1975 De Montford Hall Leicester and solo in Croydon in 1982, so very special indeed.
I totally agree. This is what I call amazing. I can not go to sleep as I restart this for the 10th time. My wife is snoring and this is how I feel for her. Wow Love is amazing.
I was at this concert - I was a teenager and it was the only time I ever got to see him live.
I did in New Orleans with Lenny Williams as the opening act
Still regretting not being able to attend a concert. Always will be 😢 Grateful for all the beautiful music that comes from his legacy 🌊✨✨✨✨👏🏼👏🏼🎤💜
When he hits those last notes … I’m DONE 🤣…. His sultry baritone voice lays me out during the closing part of this performance….the high notes, lyrics, everything 😢beautiful song and voice 😰💥🌤️✨🪐
Why would anybody thumb down this song 30 yrs later still real music in 2020...
You know it was some young punks who listens to mumble rap all day and eat tide pods. They don't know pure talent when they hear it.
Hateful W🌍RLD !!!😪
Ti amo sou sua fa
Exactly! This is what you call real music for the grown and sexy.....Mr. Teddy P sung meaningful, beautiful music that is timeless!
I think that was an accident or someone wife got hit
Wow! This concert was 40 years ago! 40 years later, and this song is still timeless! Teddy nailed this song especially at the end along with the musicians playing with him!
I agree🎉🎉🎉❤
This is the type of lyrics we need our CHILDREN to listen too, because they will value LIFE. RIP TEDDY
They will value women
Exactly
Oh… The times!! If music could still be like this today. This younger generation will never understand and experience this.
That's grown folks music!
Who is still listening in Dec 2022? No grabbing privates, earrings, tattoos, ratchet words about bitches etc! THIS IS REAL MUSIC!
2024❤
Listening in July 2024🎉🎉
I’m still watching in August 24 and I will as long as I’m on this planet
Blud what's wrong with earrings? 😂
Teddy really takes this song to a whole other level! The absolute best version I have ever heard!
By far the best version
Damn right! I love this song.
Teddy's good, but nothing beats Kenny Rogers version.
@@securitysentry519 Teddy's good, but nothing beats Kenny Rogers version.
i agree with you
Lionel Richie wrote this song, one of the most beautifully written songs and only Teddy could deliver it
@Chili Been lionel wrote this song snd didn't write it for Kenny but he gave it to him anyway
Written for & given to KR by Lionel. He joked Commodores passed it up.
Kenny Roger's
Perhaps you didnt hear the Kenny version. No comparison to KR.
@@JoJo-ri4xx Teddy murdered everyone who ever sang this song
Songs like this cause an agonizing ache in my heart for my mama bc she lost my daddy 1/28/22. He was the love of her life, and she was his. A blessing to their entire legacy.
How sweet!
Me too. I mean I can't imagine my life without my wife. I love her dearly.

It is Hard
His voice is spine chilling. No one has a voice like him
Hello Jan how are you doing?
I would say that Frankie Beverly had a unique voice and singing style back in the day
Every woman wants to be loved just. Like. This.
Hello Kim how are you doing today??

When you’re feeling it so....
Many blessings to your Ma Truth!!!

Teddy Pendergrass and Barry White have voices that are not easily replicated...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤...
You are so right, but you forgot one more great. Luther Vandross. Those three voices are legendary.
@MikkiKing-oq4ot 💯👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
When you're truly talented you don't need all the tricks, dancers, and the lights on the stage to accompany you. His voice, his presence and his, lyrics are entertainment enough. He's truly One in a Million!
Example, Janet Jackson, dozens of dancers and weak voice.
He was one in a million. now we have dime a dozen
yep......bang on Mary
This man is the reason why I'm attracted to Dark skinned men with beards,

Never, never, never another like him..
Never forget this man his music will live forever xxxxxx

Lyle Andrew Le Codier you're right they will never be another Teddy never never never
This performance is insane!
This is by far the best version. The proclamation of love at the end is heart felt.

I know Lionel Ritchie wrote this song for Kenny Rogers, but nobody sings this song like Teddy. My boyfriend introduced me to this song and I cried the first time I heard it. What a BEAUTIFUL expression of love. We miss you Teddy❤.
I wished I could like your comment a thousand times.
Lionel and Kenny didn't deliver like Teddy. Teddy's version is number one!
He absolutely brings a different level of emotion to it. Love this!
I am so sorry but for me nobody like Kenny
Teddy is so powerful and with so much emotional love, I forgot that Kenny did it ! No comparison. I also love Kenny. ❤
The Showtime documentary made me look this song up so I can listen to it over and over and over....
Ant McKinzy me too!
Watched the documentary today & was blown away. I search for the song as soon as the documentary was finished. Simply amazing. Saving this for my wedding!
King Nod yes, this song is nice!
Me too!!! Wow what passion when he sang this, loved In my time
I lived through his story growing up in Philadelphia..happy to see the showtime special but its bone chilling to relive the events of what happened to this amazing entertainer. Was at that Sixers game the night it happened
Could you imagine the heights he could've reached if that accident didn't happen? Man, he's just incredible.
You know they cut the brakes on his car?
Dirty ass cops in philly
Still lives on 😘
So sad😢😭
He achieved more after the accident then alot of musicians will never reach
My Wedding Song, I actually Sing it to my Wife ❤️💯💯💯
That's crazy same here

Teddy Pendergrass did the damn thing them background singers bring it to a climax.
Yesssss they did!!!!!!
How are you doing today my name is Eric
Say it again sis yessss
Beautiful. Only to end the song so quickly 😢😢
The background singers DID THAT!
LEAVES ME SPEECHLESS! No man has ever touched a song like Teddy!
I totally agree with you, I don't think no one can. Teddy Bear was so gifted, my goodness.
Except me
Written by Lionel Richie, owned by Kenny Rogers , but teddy has a gifted voice too .
No man.
I pray that whoever reads this god heals whatever is hurting you?😢❤️❤️❤️❤️🍀

yea you are right..
Passion is right. He TOLD the story!
To think he’s in his late 20s singing this way. Kids today won’t understand
Reginald Owens hes 31 here but either way he sounded p much the same when he was younger his voice was always incredible

*Notice how there's not any pyrotechnics, no half naked men or women NOTHING distracting you from his unequivocally talent*
Facts! Back then you really had to be talented, so there was no need for side distractions.
And let me tell this,the most fucked thing is the fact the because of completion in between talented people like Michael jackson and prince is the cause that artist felt the need to outshine each other...
Why do people make dumb ass comments like this? Duh! It’s 1982. What the hell do you expect? And what’s wrong with pyro and half naked men and women. That’s part of entertainment.

i know lol that shit was weak as fuck were the hoes
Ice cube
Not sure if anyone has noticed that the days of real love songs when music about love is sincere and genuine. When men took pride in making efforts to land a woman they really love. Days of Teddy, Barry, Jacksons, Bee Gees Al Green ...
Those days Are Gone!!
Today, we sing about murder, rape and beating etc. More worryingly, women are increasingly behaving like men and may well be spending time and resources to get a man of their dream... What a generational change
Chris West I sure remember! I love some Al Green , Martin Gaye , Rod Stewart and Tina . Yea , things have gone down hill . Even the men lmbo
so true.. beautiful... awesome era of music... stop makin my face leak...
I remember an still live those days. It inside of everyone! just let it out. Love, Respect,Self love,Happiness.Honesty,If we have all that an then some,We can bring those old days back.

Carol you so right....if you can't feel love in heart profoundly during this sung ....you have never been in love .....
Yes, that’s why I have watched this video, over and over. And it so sad, cause, after this he was never again the same. It’s like u can feel the accident coming . And he was just getting started. His documentary and so good. I have watched it, so many times. It’s just so good. They did a great job on Teddy’s. I have never watched a documentary that was so well put together. It touches you on every level.
So sad he's no longer with us, What a voice, Thank you Teddy xxx
A truly beautiful man ,Nobody else can sing like him, RIP Teddy You will never be forgotten xxx
Carol ,I wish like you he was still with us, Ill never stop loving this man xxx
Wonderful voice lives on in 2024. One and only Teddy Bear❤

I love the lyrics. This is how a man should feel and think about his lady. That's a lot of real love. Once you experience it you will never settle for less! The voice is awesome but the love is the greatest.
Shot out to the background singers and the band..... amazing job! Teddy is ready!

@@michaeloverton2437 1:44am. Can't sleep. November 14th 2020. Looking at RUclips. Listening to "Teddy" singing "Lady" and "Somebody told me to deliver this message." I love listening to his music because it takes your mind off a lot of the chaos that's going on in the world today. Love & Blessings to us all.

This piano gives me chicken skin
@@nuyorican91st it’s great
R.I.P
Teddy changed the whole dynamics of this song. He sung it with great power. I’ve listened to this song over and over a million times and it takes my breath away every time.
Say it again beautifully spoken❤❤❤❤❤
As many times as this was re-made, Teddy sung it better...... No one sung this better than Teddy. R.I.P Teddy Pendergrass.........
Terrel Bivins u are right on target Terrel
Mae Day I know I'm right Mae Day. Lol!
G na8pp
+Terrel Bivins you are sooooooo right
Agreed! Thanks to Lionel Ritchie for composing it.
TO ALL THE WOMEN OF THE WORLD 🌹❤🙏🏿
Thank you so much. 😙

That build up is so satisfying
DJ Brown just soooo beautiful and heartfelt. He sings this song.
DJ Brown yes it is!!
My husband sang this song on our fist night it was magical ❤❤
Love Lionel and Kenny but this is without doubt my favorite..... plays it over and over....
Absolutely
Me too...I love this song...and I love teddy so much for singing🎶 this song like he does it 🎤🎤💖💕❤️💞👌👌👆👆
Same here
Janet Phillips I can’t find this on any of his albums
Brie C me either
Utterly beautiful. Sung with such feeling. What a wonderful thing to have someone feel this way about you
Everytime I hear this song sung by him it brings tears to my eyes. No one sings this song the way he did. The emotion that he put into it makes you feel every word.
Hello ReeRee, hope you're okay?
Beautyfol 🙏💖🤙💐
I always come back to this performance. Must've seen it a 1000 times. Thank you Teddy P
Hello Eleazar how are you doing??
He had such a beautiful voice and presence ❤❤
Teddy is so missed - my fear is no one really knows the treasure we no longer have to share in
Matt Bailey i agree so so sad the 2 most amazing voice teddy and Whitney may there soul rest in piece !!!!!
Just raw talent
Our music is dying.
AGREE
the music industry is aching for someone like this nowadays
Man we living in sad days where we glorify being single, people get married to be divorced and when you love with all of your heart as man it's a sign of weakness... this is the beauty of love that speaks to my soul
💫✨@StreetPhat::Thank you for sharing/explaining this reality about the depth of a man’s love and the accepted misnomer (sad to say) that you’re weak as a man if you do . . .mine has for nearly 40 years now!💫✨
I can’t find this version on any streaming platforms
Right after I finished listening to this song both of my neighbors came over and told my wife and I that they were pregnant. My wife decided to check and she was too! 😁
I’m a young Guy and his energy and voice shows he put his Heart and Soul into what he sang. This fella was too smooth;would take yo woman in a heartbeat. 😁Rip TEDDY ONE OF GREATEST!!!
😄😁😁Exactly! Teddy was a bad boy. Will Have yo woman fanning her dress tail. Lol!
School School
Blah Blah. 👁m. Old-school T Teddy Pendergrass got me a lot of cat🤘🤘
Absolutely! That's why I think his car was sabotaged to cause that accident! I'm here in 2022, watching the documentary, with tears streaming down my eyes in sadness. RIP Teddy, we still love you, even in death!🙏🏽♥️
This song was written by Lionel Ritchie for Kenny Rogers... Teddy tore it up!!
Bet he could've tore you up back in the day.
Indeed he did
It's like he stole it!!!!!!
It’s not a Kenny Rogers song. Kenny sung a Lionel Richie song. Lionel Richie wrote the song for himself.
@@blkthunderkat Lol...grand larceny!!!
He was a beautiful man and beautiful soul he's sadly missed, no-one sings like him, he had a velvet smooth vocal range ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯
🙏💙
Jahiem was the closes
There never will be another soul singer like this man.😢 R.I.P.
Hello Diana how are you doing today?
Who listening in 2025
I'm right here LADY
Me
I cant sing but if I could I'd definitely sing this to my woman when I get one.
This is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
David, today
Them background ladies are the killer❤🎶👏
Yes let's give them credit🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤.
💜🩵💚Another hit written by the talented Lionel Ritchie for Kenny Rogers (recorded in 1980); and perfected by the great Teddy Pendergrass!
FYI:
🔹Teddy P was only 25yrs old when he left Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in 1975 to begin his solo career. He was 20yrs old when he joined the group in 1970 as a drummer.
🔸Teddy P also recorded the song, “Hold Me,” with Whitney Houston for her 1985 debut album. It appeared on his album “Love Language” in 1984.
😍Yes, I’ve been a Teddy Pendergrass fan even before his “Ladies Only" concerts!
He made this track his own. Thank you Lionel for the lyrics but thank you Teddy for the love this track brings ❤️
Hello how are you doing today I hope you are fine and how is the weather over there
Kenny Rogers wrote this song.
@@marthaespinosa6264 NO, Lionel Ritchie WROTE, this song specifically for Kenny Rodgers. I like both versions, Teddy's just have more power & soul to it.
Making claims she don't even have backing for
I had never heard this song, by Teddy Pendergrass, until Now.
I had no warning; so, I didn't have time to put on my life jacket to protect me from the lyrics of 💓 felt 💔 passion and desire.
Now, I'm drowning in your love.
Save me.......
nadine Wilson 🤣🤣🤣

Good morning how are you doing today I hope you are fine and how is the weather over there
How are you doing
He was planning your record this song when he returned to the US - he was getting ready to use this song to cross over and become an International Star. But a month after this performance came the accident. This is the ONLY recording of Teddy singing this song.😢

As far as a human man just wait... When you're ready God will bring him to you, don't rush looking for him, when God's thru with him and he's worthy of your heart, and your heart is ready to receive him You will meet each other and know..
Don't go looking, do you, Your children if any, stay busy...
