Teddy Pendergrass Flac Discography

This collection covers Pendergrass' run of big hits from the Philadelphia International era, including "I Don't Love You Anymore," "Close The Door" and "Turn Off The Lights".

Excellent five CD set containing five original albums in mini LP sleeves (featuring original cover art) and all are housed together in one slipcase. Includes the albums Teddy Pendergrass, Life Is A Song Worth Singing, Teddy, TP and It's Time For Love.

In 1977, Pendergrass released his self-titled album, which went platinum on the strength of the disco hit, "I Don't Love You Anymore." Its follow-up single, "The Whole Town's Laughing At Me," became a top 20 R&B hit. It was quickly followed by Life Is a Song Worth Singing, in 1978. That album was even more successful with its singles including "Only You" and "Close the Door." The disco single, "Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose" was popular in dance clubs. The year 1979 brought two successes, Teddy and the live release, Live Coast to Coast. Hits off Teddy included "Come and Go With Me" and "Turn Off the Lights." His 1980 album, TP, included his signature song, "Love TKO" and the Ashford & Simpson composition, "Is It Still Good to You."

A bargain 3 CD set from master soul God, Teddy P, and you get the full length versions of his hits, too! If You Don't Know Me By Now, Wake Up Everybody, The More I Get, Don't Leave Me This Way, The Love I Lost. The only missing gem is Bad Luck, which is widely available elsewhere, of course.

Teddy Pendergrass finally made it back to the top in 1988, when the title track from this album spent two weeks at the head of the R&B list. The song even got mild pop attention, and the album was the first since his accident to really reflect the new Pendergrass sound. He sang in a slower, somber, yet appealing way quite different from the swaggering, openly sexual/macho posturing of the late '70s and early '80s. This was a weary but not beaten Pendergrass, whose manner and delivery underscored the resilient theme in Joy's lyrics.

Truly Blessed is the 11th studio album by R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass, released in March 1990 on the Elektra label. Four tracks were produced by Pendergrass, with four of the tracks produced by him and Terry Price, and the remaining three produced by Derek Nakamoto and Craig Burbidge.
