This was gift for my Aunt who had this CD along time ago and she played it so much of the years that it would not play in her CD player anymore. So to surprise her I looked for it on Amazon to find it. She has been very please with her new CD of her favorite songs!Awesome CD. I purchased several over the years and have just purchased another to give to a TP lover that has never heard of some of the slow jams on it. Boy are they going to be happy.Awsomegave it to a friend as a gift. Good why do I have to write something when I already told you that I love my selection this is crazyThey dont make music like this anymore. And it's unfortunate. Teddy Pendergrass MEANT IT when sang a song. You can feel it. You can taste it. Soul R&B from this era is totally different from what it is today. These guys actually cared about their music FIRST. The almighty dollar was nice, dont get me wrong, but for artists like Teddy Pendergras, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Freddie Jackson, Jeffrey Osbourne, etc. their music, and the quality of their music, came first. Todays artists will put out any old piece of crap just for the money. Their music has no soul. This is a beautiful album. I love to put this album on and just let it run. Teddy has such a beautiful voice and his lyrics come right from his heart and soul. When Mr. Pendergrass is hurting in a song, the listeneer is also hurting. This music is timeless. I wish todays artists would wake up.Alright, class, I don't think I ask for much in my music, na'mean? Jus' a nice groove, lush n' firm vocals an' some content I can relate to. Not even necessarily relate to, jus' sumpin' with SUBSTANCE, 'cause my mind is starved for that in this year 2003. I grew up hearin' Teddy Pendergrass, my sister was ALL ABOUT some Teddy P. an' I picked it up from that point. Is' jus' that voice, is' guttural an' raw yet seductive at the same time, e'nuff 'ta work two bodies up into a frenzy. Serious point though, listen to this at nighttime, by a fireplace, with a woman, an' some wine. She might think you pourin' it on a lil' thick when she heats 'Love T.K.O.' an' 'Close the Door', but when that 'Turn Out the Lights' comes on, ohhhh man, is' ON! Teddy'll be screamin' an' shoutin' an' you'll be pretty much sangin' along. This disc is a must fa' the bachelor's pad or the player's ball, 'cause if you think you got game an' your collection is missin' Teddy P., then, son, you don't have no idea what you're doin'. Alright, class dismissed. For homework tonight, go buy this CD. If I don't see no struttin' or no confident smiles when y'all come back, I'm'a mark you down as a zero, 'cause I'll know you ain't do your homework.I happened upon this album by accident & I'm so glad I did. Not only does it have the full versions of such classics as "Close the Door" & the Whole Town's Laughing at Me", but it has gems that got little to no air play back in the day, like "Somebody Told Me" and "And if I had". I bought the c.d. for just two songs, "It don't hurt now" & "Come go with me", and look what I found! I'm so glad to have found this album. What a classic!this cd will get you and your love one in the mood , its one of the best of all times love making and happy feelings cd with hit after hit thanks BiggBadd Danny Quinn.Die CD gefällt mir sehr. Ich bin und war schon immer ein großer Fan von Soul-Music und ständig auf der Suche nach den früheren Bands und Sänger aus den 70er, 80er, und 90er Jahren. Denn die sind wirklich fantastisch.
