"Teddy Pendergrass, one of the finest male R&B vocalists ever.
This was his first solo album after he left Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes.
To me it's still his best. Produced by Philly Soul's cream of the crop Gamble and Huff and McFadden and Whitehead this is soul at its finest.
Tightest arrangements, the best male voice at his peak, great melodies and good and intense lyrics. This was made to dance, to have fun, sure, but if you'd listen to what Teddy's saying you'll realize the depth of the message.
Musicians? Oh woow! Pushy Drums and Percussion Keith Benson, Karl Chambers, Charles Collins and Larry Washington; The Best of Horns MFSB; Keys Ron Kersey, Dexter Wansel, Victor Carstarphen; Guitar Roland Chambers, Dennis Harris; Bass Michael "Sugar Bear" Foreman, James Williams
The follow ups Life is a Song Worth Singing, Teddy and TP were more successful but this one is unique - his freshest if you ask me.
After surviving a horrible car accident Teddy returned to the scene singing from a wheelchair. He's still Teddy but this first one will probably forever stay unreached."
Great '70s Music!

"This album will forever remind me of 3rd grade. My Mom played it all the time. Not only is the album nostalgic, but the songs are excellent. Each and every one is terrific. Teddy's deep, sexy voice belts out each tune perfectly. This was his first solo album, which set his solo career on the fast track. If you buy this CD, you'll love it as much as I do."

"I love anything Teddy Pendergrass sings. Such a beautiful, deep and spiritual voice. No one was meant to sings these songs but him. I have re-found tedd pendergrass songs, and the second coming is better. I remember listening to this when I was younger, I liked his music then, but I like it better now listening to his voice and music, current and past."
