Can we just applaud Lloyd Parks for what he did in the beginning with tenor and falsetto, those high notes from him was everything too, Teddy’s phrasing and timing is unbelievable. His voice so soulful, he sang his face off on this record which it makes it so timeless.

I had an aunt that was such a huge fan of TP. Sadly beast cancer took her from us, but while she sick my mother (her sister) would always play TP when she was sick from treatments and feeling down. This stuck with everyone in the family and TP soon came to represent my aunt and her life. She left behind two sons who came to live with us after she was gone and we grew up like brothers. When TP died it hit all of us like a family member was killed. When we get together now TP is always in heavy rotation. Few years ago I was struck down cold with depression and TP would always be a form of comfort for me. My love for TP is more than an artist, but rock on soft ground - healing for a sick heart - warmth for a cold world - my aunt. Thank you for the post.
