I first heard the amazing voice of Teddy Pendergrass on a compilation album. The track 'Turn off the lights', to use a metaphor, just rocked my boat.
Then, out of the blue there was the theme music for muller yoghurts on T.V, which used the theme from Love T.K.O, which of course is on this album too (and i thought wasn't too bad). So i gave this album a go!
Like 'Seal' had to find fame under the guise of 'Adamski', Teddy too was the voice behind another act more commonly known as 'Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes'. If you have heard, like so many people, 'Don't leave me this way', 'If you don't know me by now' and 'The love I lost', then you may not know until now, that the initial voice on these recordings is the man himself.
Teddy's voice is just so silky smooth and would rate it in my top three male voices of all time, and no Chris Martin's voice of 'Coldplay' is not up there!
This album, i could seriously not live without and whoever put the track selection together needs a nighthood. Well done to you sir (or madam)
Definately, an album to put your feet up to and sip a glass of wine after a hard day at work. How can music get better than this.
