5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Hits T.K O, May 13, 2004

This review is from: Teddy Pendergrass - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This is one of the very best greatest hits albums ever. I really just got into Teddy P. two years ago when I heard "Turn off The Lights" on an almost daily basis on the local old school R&B station here in Atlanta. It was like the song was following me around. So, I bought this album for that song alone and hoped there might be something else on here that I would like. Every day another song from here would start sticking in my head, until finally I was in love with the whole album. I can't believe I never got into Teddy before, or that I never realised he was the lead singer of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. I've heard that he is touring again despite being in a wheelchair from a crippling car accident back in the early 80's and that his magical voice is as powerful as ever. I definately want to see this legend in concert and hear these classic songs live. Guys like Keith Sweat had to whine and beg the ladies for some lovin', but not Teddy P. He demanded to be rubbed down in some burning hot oils, baby, and he would do the same for you. Now turn off the damn lights and let's get it on!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, November 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Teddy Pendergrass - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I've heard so many great singers in my time (I'm 35) and if I were to list my top ten best singers of all time, Teddy would be up there with the best. This guy is one of the few men that could get away with singing love songs without looking silly! :-) "Come Go With Me", "Close The Door", "Love TKO", and "Can't We Try", to me, are 4 of the best love songs ever created! Even if I were to only get these four songs in this album, I'd be satisfied. It's really worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best, October 17, 2001

This is an amazing compilation of the best of Teddy's many popular hits. The remastering and remixing adds depth to his always soulful and melodic voice. This CD captures the sexiness and excitement that was Teddy Pendergrass before he was so sadly injured back in the 80's and stopped performing as he was entering the threshhold of superstardom. Truly a great representation of the essence of Teddy.
