Editorial Reviews

Pendergrass's second album after his departure from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes continued his solo ascent. Life Is a Song Worth Singing masterfully mixes and matches moods, flowing from two very different anthems (the dramatic title track and the party jam "Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose") through seductive classics such as "Close the Door." His rich vocals ride tasty Philly tracks on one of the city's true masterpieces. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for True Soul Fans!!, May 5, 1999

By A Customer

This album is a true classic of soul music and should get more recognition. Teddy displays his vocal range and talents on such songs as "Close the Door" and "It Don't Hurt Now." Primarily known for his love ballads this album has the full scope of soul music with songs that touch the heart, mind and erotic side of any willing listener. Buy now and you'll never take it out of your cd rotation.

4.0 out of 5 stars The album that made Teddy a solo superstar!, August 24, 2003

By	Justo Roteta (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This was Teddy's second album and "Close The Door" virtually guaranteed he would continue to be the #1 male R&B singer of the 1970s. His self-titled solo debut had set the prototype for his subsequent PIR releases but this one became his most successful project thanks to "Only You", "Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose" and the above-mentioned classic ballad.
