Life Is a Song Worth Singing

Amazon.com
Pendergrass's second album after his departure from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes continued his solo ascent. Life Is a Song Worth Singing masterfully mixes and matches moods, flowing from two very different anthems (the dramatic title track and the party jam "Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose") through seductive classics such as "Close the Door." His rich vocals ride tasty Philly tracks on one of the city's true masterpieces. --Rickey Wright

The peak..........2006-06-12

I was only 4 years old when this album came out, but I remember WELL the day my father came home with THIS album. The first song he put on was "Only You", and that did it for me!

For me this IS Teddy's peak because this album has a great balance of upbeat and more mellow material while the albums after this focused more on the bedroom. They were still good albums, but the funk factor was sacrificed. This album and his self-titled solo debut are the ones I remember most and bring back the most memories of Teddy from my childhood before his injury.

Anyway, the balance, again, is what makes this album so great. I mean he can come out with FUNK on "Only You", disco-ish on the title cut, he gets DOWN, gets FUNKY, and gets loose (which sounds a lot a like the song Rerun always danced to on "What's Happenin'"), "When Somebody Loves You Back", and of course, "Close The Door."

Like Luther Vandross, a lot of people forget that Teddy had a hell of a way with dance-oriented and upbeat music. This album is proof positive. If you're looking to buy ONE album from Teddy, this is it.

The album that made Teddy a solo superstar!.......2003-08-24

This was Teddy's second album and "Close The Door" virtually guaranteed he would continue to be the #1 male R&B singer of the 1970s. His self-titled solo debut had set the prototype for his subsequent PIR releases but this one became his most successful project thanks to "Only You", "Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose" and the above-mentioned classic ballad.

CLOSE THE DOOR TEDDY PENDERGRASS.......2001-05-25

THE ENTIRE CD IS GREAT, BUT CLOSE THE DOOR IS A SONG FOR ANY ONE TRYING TO BE IN LOVE. LISTEN AND LEARN

2nd Solo album.......2000-04-21

This former drummer hit the big time as a solo artist with this album. This is a must buy..

Two 1970s "Soul Essentials" now on one CD........2004-10-16

These two albums were unquestionably "essential" for any real or serious R&B or Soul fan when originally released in 1977 and 1978 --so it's good to have them available on one CD today. Teddy Pendergrass was one of the 1970s most important and influential male R&B vocalists and he became a solo superstar in his own right thanks to such hits as "I Don't Love You Anymore", "The Whole Town's Laughing At Me", "You Can't Hide From Yourself", "Close The Door" and "When Somebody Loves You Back". While these two masterpieces have been available separately here in the U.S. for many years now this U.K. import CD offers you the two albums on one disc PLUS much better sound quality.
