Editorial Reviews

With its muted trumpet solo and exhortation of "My car's right outside, we can leave right now," Teddy Pendergrass's "Come Go with Me" is the "Born to Run" of seductive soul. While Pendergrass's plea has perhaps less of a metaphysical aspect, there's also no doubt by song's end that he's every bit as triumphant as Bruce Springsteen as he drives away. As laidback as any of Pendergrass's albums--even the speediest of the three disco tracks, "Do Me," implies a certain languidness--Teddy is a fine souvenir of the period when he was the ladies' man of choice in R&B. Along with Life Is a Song Worth Singing and TP, it's choicest among his albums. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest album of love songs ever, October 18, 1998

By A Customer

This album is Teddy Pendergrass at his absolute best. Time cannot dull the sultriness of this chronicle of a successful night of seduction and romance. The songs showcase his persuasiveness, masculinity, and power with a firm silkiness that has never been matched. Mesmerizing in its yearning, with a rich appreciation of women, it is simply the lovejones album of the decade.

4.0 out of 5 stars Teddy's crowning album., June 29, 2003

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

Songs such as "Come Go With Me" and "Turn Off The Lights" helped make Teddy Pendergrass the most popular and best-loved male soul singer of the late 1970s and this 1979 release forever cemented his status as one of the genre's best.The disco numbers don't fit very well here, though.
