Description

The Best of Teddy Pendergrass compiles the essential recordings of one of the most powerful and sensual voices in soul music. As lead vocalist of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes and then as a solo artist on Philadelphia International Records, Pendergrass combined raw vocal power with an intimate, seductive delivery that made him one of the biggest-selling male soul artists of the late 1970s.

Close the Door and Turn Off the Lights epitomise the bedroom soul that became Pendergrass's trademark, his rich baritone transforming each song into an event. Love T.K.O. is a masterpiece of sophisticated soul production, its Gamble and Huff arrangement providing the perfect setting for one of his most emotionally charged vocal performances. The Whole Town's Laughing at Me showcases his more vulnerable side. This 2LP compilation traces his career from the Blue Notes era through his solo peak.
