I went to a Black school and learned a lot about the people.and a lot of the music it was great most of the soul music was great in the day the 1970s

[@Fawe21]

Teddy was singing back then what we are witnessing Now. The album cover was showing and telling us what we needed to see.

[@heavy-d4032]

Teddy pendergrass Saw the revelance of This universe long before His time. RIP my brother.

[@stannote8312]

Well, in all fairness, Pendergrass simply sang what he was given by the song's producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. The song was written by the team of Gene McFadden, John Whitehead (who, as a singing duo had a big hit with the anthemic "Ain't No Stopping Us Now") and Victor Carstarphen.

[@better-dayz-r-ahead]

@@stannote8312 Thank you for giving credit to the writers.

[@stannote8312]

@@better-dayz-r-ahead And thank YOU for knowing the difference. Anytime I write about music and artists, where applicable and given the chance, I always credit the writers and producers. All this great music is being traded, shared and sold online with nothing more than the name of the artists or group--NO mention at all of the songwriters, producers, arrangers, musicians, etc, who created the song in the first place. Without the song you've got nothing. It's a supreme injustice and a damn shame.

[@better-dayz-r-ahead]

@@stannote8312 Agreed💯 Thom Bell is another acclaimed songwriter from the Philly Soul era he wrote and produced a lot of songs for The Delfonics and The Stylistics. Can’t forget about Bobby Eli and Vinnie Barrett they wrote much of Blue Magic’s early work. Also have to mention Norman Harris, Linda Creed, Dexter Wansel and a whole host of others that were part of the movement that was going on in the 70’s in the City of Brotherly Love.

[@stannote8312]

@@better-dayz-r-ahead Hell yes, to all of those giants, sir. Thom Bell is a beast. Bell can walk into a studio where an orchestra is playing and pick the one viola out of tune. He insisted on writing EVERY part you hear on a Thom Bell production, no matter how subtle the guitar ad-lib or position of cymbal crash. When he'd visit labels to have meetings, execs would take one look at Linda Creed and say, "You can leave your [white] girlfriend in the lobby." Bell would angrily make clear that Creed wasn't his girlfriend but his songwriting partner and tell them if she's not in the meeting, there won't be one.

[@audreydavis4984]

No matter how old this song is it’s still relevant, one of my morning anthems so pleasant to the ears

[@lindawilliams7845]

The world needs to listen to this song today. It's too much happening today
