Biography

Theodore DeReese Pendergrass, Sr. was born on March 26, 1950 in Philadelphia and would go on to be one of the leading soul singers of the Philadelphia Soul sound. His career really started when his band, titled Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes even though "Teddy" was the lead singer, was signed to Philadelphia International Records in 1972 by songwriting duo Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best compilation yet!, November 8, 2007
By Brian M. Coffee (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been updating my TP collection this year. This is the best yet that I have come across. The audio quality is pristine and it includes some of the older as well as newer stuff. It's nice that they included some of his hits that he did with the Blue Notes. This compilation also shows how TP could go from old school soul songs to funky dance tunes. His biggest draw was that of a lady's man. This nicknamed him Teddy Tender the female bender. TP was perhaps the only r&b artist to go on tour a feature a ladies only night at big arenas is various cities! Who knows how far his career would have gone if he was crippled by the car accident. Teddy is one of the big name singers from the Philly Sound era. This is an era of r&b music that like Motown will never be repeated! It's that good! Get this cd! It's that good!

5.0 out of 5 stars and they do mean Essential!!!!!, November 16, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Sony has revived the Philadelphila International label & this is one of the first releases. (the other is Essential Lou Rawls, which is very choice by the way!!) Included here are all the long versions from previous releases of Teddy as well as the Harold Melvin collections. 145mins of nothing but the truth!!! Including the extended versions of Wake Up Everybody(yes the Jahim sample!!), original version of Don't Leave Me This Way, etc. all remastered, in it's musical glory!! Bonus is the cd has the P.I.R. logo & color on the disk. I cannot wait for future releases from Sony/P.I.R. Thank you Sony music!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Songs, February 20, 2008
this is probably the best overall collection on Teddy Pendergrass yet. all the extended versions and the soulful feelings from the songs and sentiments which still hit. great Production and strong songwriting. Teddy pendergrass is One of the most underrated Soulful Giants ever. this collection is very soulful and on time.
