@@dannytennial5311 Definitely an influence and similarity in style. Not uncommon with any musician. All the greats take something in their style from others (be it contemporaries or musicians they grew up idolizing), whether instrumentalists or vocalists. But I don't think you can say Teddy copied Marvin Jr. The end product of their singing is distinctively their own.

And to think, there are those that dismiss these grooves as merely Disco?! Thereby robbing themselves of the enjoyment of the arrangements, instrumentality, and varied voices coming together in a groovin’ song story. I said it in several words, but Mz Thompun, before me, said it in one--Soul is the word.

This music style has Gospel roots and this certainly has its black roots! But MORE IMPORTANTLY like you said IT HAS TOGETHERNESS!!! I love America because of great American people like these and people like you that recognize God given blessings and TOGETHERNESSS! I Love the song "Wake up everybody" by Harold Melvin & The Blue notes. It's too bad America is going back to sleep, quickly forgetting its greatness in Art, Moral Values and The lessons left in the arts like music like that song.. America is quickly overcoming racism only to go "come American People of all creeds,skins,tongues,nationality's and let us sin together equally.".. I miss your generation sir... We truly are doomed in ours..
