They dont make music like this anymore. And it's unfortunate. Teddy Pendergrass MEANT IT when sang a song. You can feel it. You can taste it. Soul R&B from this era is totally different from what it is today. These guys actually cared about their music FIRST. The almighty dollar was nice, dont get me wrong, but for artists like Teddy Pendergras, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Freddie Jackson, Jeffrey Osbourne, etc. their music, and the quality of their music, came first. Todays artists will put out any old piece of crap just for the money. Their music has no soul. This is a beautiful album. I love to put this album on and just let it run. Teddy has such a beautiful voice and his lyrics come right from his heart and soul. When Mr. Pendergrass is hurting in a song, the listeneer is also hurting. This music is timeless. I wish todays artists would wake up.

Alright, class, I don't think I ask for much in my music, na'mean? Jus' a nice groove, lush n' firm vocals an' some content I can relate to. Not even necessarily relate to, jus' sumpin' with SUBSTANCE, 'cause my mind is starved for that in this year 2003. I grew up hearin' Teddy Pendergrass, my sister was ALL ABOUT some Teddy P. an' I picked it up from that point. Is' jus' that voice, is' guttural an' raw yet seductive at the same time, e'nuff 'ta work two bodies up into a frenzy. Serious point though, listen to this at nighttime, by a fireplace, with a woman, an' some wine. She might think you pourin' it on a lil' thick when she heats 'Love T.K.O.' an' 'Close the Door', but when that 'Turn Out the Lights' comes on, ohhhh man, is' ON! Teddy'll be screamin' an' shoutin' an' you'll be pretty much sangin' along. This disc is a must fa' the bachelor's pad or the player's ball, 'cause if you think you got game an' your collection is missin' Teddy P., then, son, you don't have no idea what you're doin'. Alright, class dismissed. For homework tonight, go buy this CD. If I don't see no struttin' or no confident smiles when y'all come back, I'm'a mark you down as a zero, 'cause I'll know you ain't do your homework.

Teddy Pendergrass put it down on every slow jam on this album. Every song is classic, but the masterpieces everyone has heard. Close the Door, Love TKO, Turn Off The Lights, You're My Latest My Greatest Inspiration, Come Go With Me. Everything is crystal clear and timeless. The lyrics are beyond greatness and the instrumentation beautiful. Simply Put it's a must have. Don't hesitate!

back in the day Teddy Pendergrass had alot of Classic SLow Jams."Close the Door" was a Monster Jam as was "Love T.K.O".Pendergrass's SOulful Voice&the Philly Sound went Hand&Hand.this is a Must for Fans of Strong Slow JamsPowerful Vocalists.

I happened upon this album by accident & I'm so glad I did. Not only does it have the full versions of such classics as "Close the Door" & the Whole Town's Laughing at Me", but it has gems that got little to no air play back in the day, like "Somebody Told Me" and "And if I had". I bought the c.d. for just two songs, "It don't hurt now" & "Come go with me", and look what I found! I'm so glad to have found this album. What a classic!

This is a very good cd and it brings back a lot of old memories.

Despite its featuring some of TP's most popular slow jams it could have included "Is It Still Good To Ya?" which is the crowning moment of the "TP" album. With that exception, this is one nice compilation full of romantic gems from an R&B legend.

One of the greates voices of soul music...to bad there is a few gems missing from this collection. Still a good buy.

this cd will get you and your love one in the mood , its one of the best of all times love making and happy feelings cd with hit after hit thanks BiggBadd Danny Quinn.

He's so awesome, you need to go out and buy this album. Teddy has the "know how" when it comes to sensuality.
