It's hard to believe it took until 2004 for somebody to anthologize Teddy's stay at Elektra. After his auto accident, Pendergrass left Philadelphia International and signed with Elektra. 14 of the 16 songs on this CD are from that era and it covers the years 84-93. Rhino throws in 2 Philly years ringers: "Close The Door" and "Turn Off The Lights" to back up their title concept. Besides the R&B hits, this also covers some album tracks, and is a decent look at his Elektra stint. Some people say this era wasn't as strong as the Philly years, but there's enough great songs here like "Joy" and "You're My Choice Tonight" (the latter written and Produced by Luther Vandross), as well as his last R&B #1 as of 2004, "It Should've Been You", to refute that claim. There's also one song that stands with the 2 ringers here, "Love 4/2" that's as good as anything Teddy has ever recorded. The only weak link on this CD are the liner notes. A useless 5 page reminiscece by a Tracy H. New that offers no insight into Teddy's career or his Elektra years. If you have his Greatest Hits CD or the Anthology CD than this is a must have for your collection.

Unfortunately, this fabulous singer, songwriter, producer, drummer, entertainer, etc. is no longer with us. What a voice. I own this CD and many, many other Teddy Pendergrass CDs and I have a whole bunch of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes CDs too. I probably have them all. I quit counting a long time ago. Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever posted a review on any of Teddy's music. Truth be told, Teddy don't no review anyway ~ his songs can stand on their own because they are all just great works of art.

There are no words to express the sorrow I felt (and still feel) when I learned of Teddy's death. My sincere, heartfelt condolences goes out to his family as well as his very loyal fan base, of which, I am proud to be a member.

ALL of Teddy's work with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and his solo work is all phenomenal.

This multi-talented balladeer will surely, surely be missed.

Rest In Peace, Teddy

Words cannot adequately describe the feeling i get when i listen to these bedroom classics.Absolutely beautiful incredibly romantic music of the highest quality.My favorite track is #9 in my time it brings emotional goose bumps all over me.

This album is perfect with the inimitable style of Teddy's soothing notes washing over the entire room when he's singing.

This is the BEST of Teddy Pendergrass! Smooth, beautiful, romantic. Worth its weight in gold!

This CD is fantastic. It's sexy, relaxing and just hot!!!

I am a great Teddy Pendergrass fan I have all of the cds and whatever dvd is available. For this particular cd it is truly one for the bedroom. Sexy, Sexy just for cuddling with your special someone. Purchase and you will not be sorry, light some candles and just listen and soothe your mind to the greatest voice that ever lived. Love you Teddy Pendergrass and the compilation is truly awesome and fantastic. This man can sing now doubt about it.

This CD contains the songs done by Teddy that I liked the most. "In My time" will always be one of my favorites. I believe this song was released after his car accident. It was like he was reliving his life.

I have always been a Teddy Pendergrass fan and I have the vinyl to prove it. I was looking for a cd that had some of the less well known of his songs. This cd does that as well as giving one a glimpse of the songs that made him great. I highly recommend this cd for anyone that loves Teddy; anyone that wants to get the basics and/or anyone that loves soul ballads. Is there a Bedroom classics II?

Teddy at his finest. His voice perfect pitch. It was the feeling Teddy put in that makes this soooo great.
