Today We Honor Teddy Pendergrass Teddy’s desire for a career in music was firmly fixed the night he attended a Jackie Wilson concert at Philadelphia’s famed Uptown Theater and watched Wilson’s entrance and how he controlled the audience with his performance. When it came time for Teddy to begin is solo career, after leaving the group Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes, he scored big right from the start with “I Don’t Love You Anymore,” “You Can’t Hide From Yourself,” “Close The Door,” “Love TKO” and “Turn Off The Lights.” Teddy Pendergrass became the first black male singer in history to record five consecutive multi-platinum albums.

After listening to Bowie’s Young Americans I did some poking around online to learn more about Philadelphia Soul, which led me inevitably back to Teddy Pendergrass. I got this record for $2 from Other Music in NYC on my honeymoon eleven years ago (my husband was and continues to be very patient with me). But I didn’t super connect with it at the time. I listened more to its immediate predecessor, TP. It hit me a lot better today after listening to Philly Soul playlists online, think I’m ready to dive into it (and many similar records) now! Got any records that you kept around just waiting for the right time to get into them? #teddypendergrass #phillysoul #philadelphiasoul #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CcXtad2uO4i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
