[@SJH22]

Well, when 50 years and 100M songs come out, you start to run out of options on making something "new". You should know that trends are a thing and that everyone is looking for the next new thing. Just because something is substantially different, doesn't mean that it isn't good. I'm in my mid 30s and love tons of "oldies" songs and I can also appreciate some new stuff as well. You have to expand your horizons. Rap is also explaining a lifestyle that i, and maybe yourself, haven't experienced...so it may not be right for you and that is obviously fine.

[@avp0713]

As the music industry unfolds... it becomes more apparent that it is based on SALES... If an artist comes out today and tries to "make it" on these solid vocal torch songs and ballads, they can't because THE KIDS (the major buying audience) is not energized by this.. they are "energized" and "excited" by foul language and vocal passages that they hear on the streets. In the olden days a romantic lyric might be ".... my love, I'll take you out to a fine place, where you and I can speak face to face"... todays romantic lyric might say "Imma call you my bish and eat that booty like a dish". So yeah.. different societal morals calls for different lyrics.

Soul music is awesome love it good stuff 😍

[@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR]

The 60s had a lot of greats with MOTOWN. Teddy was one of the BEST and so was Marvin Gaye. Grew up on this music in the 60s & 70s. Real SOUL music....not pop.

[@johnkristich3764]

Teddy in our hearts and minds forever!

Philadelphia Chicago produces classy musicians.

I'm a 71 yr old white guy that grew up in Detroit listening to this song. Down went the windows and I'd sing it out loud. This was part of the real class of Motown in those days. Thank God for groups like this. They've not been forgotten.

You know you're getting old when you watch a video like this & remember it when it first aired. Still sounds great!

Teddy was an amazing singer in the 70s. Also Marvin Gaye. Great times. Lots of Donna Summers in those days too. Music that made you FEEL good.

[@darrenduncan5589]

Lol. Yeah the ladies dug Teddy. He knew it too.

[@redbone8844]

@@darrenduncan5589 Teddy older than my mom lol it’s just something about him that makes me wish I was born back in them days he was so smooth and you right he knew it!

[@redbone8844]

@@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR yes I’m young but I always gravitated to the oldies people always told me I was ahead of my time! Marvin is one of my favorites as well and Donna I listen to it daily because it does make me happy 😃

@@marcellohassel9594 FACTS.. & the sister's are certainly jealous of each other.. Ther black RACE PERIOD are JEALOUS of each other.. No other race HATE on each other like black folks do. It's so sad.. because we are AMAZING PEOPLE.. I WISH EVERY SINGLE BLACK PERSON OVERSTOOD JUST EXACTLY WHO WE ARE.. JUST REFUSED TO UNITE AND I ABSOLUTELY DON'T GET IT 😔😔😔.. WAITING ON OTHERS TO GIVE US, TO FIX US, TO SAVE US.. SMH.. NOBODY IS COMING TO SAVE US.. IT AN INSIDE JOB THAT ONLY WE CAN DO.. OURSELVES AS A PEOPLE.. WE USED TO OVERSTAND THAT.. TOO MANY HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH STAYING IGNORANT & BEING OUR WORST ENEMY... ALL WE CAN DO... IS DO OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL PART & AIM TO ALWAYS BE THE BEST HUMAN.. THAT WE CAN BE.. IF WE ALL DO THAT WE COULD MOVE AND SHAKE UP SOME SHI....

This is some of the best music ever recorded. This was popular when I was in junior high school. Teddy's voice was a 20 out of 10

[@collegeri]

You had to have so much talent to be a star back then.

Big Hair, gold medallions, crazy suits and fabulous music by one of the great RnB groups.

[@dianeclay7368]

That's what i said.my hair.was so big. I thought my neck wood break. And with those clothes. Every body.looked like hookers and pimps.back then. To say nothing.a bout the 70s car's. I liked the trans ams.and the mark 5.

[@ReneeBoross]

The Motown era was the best. God I miss those days. First was Motown, then the British invasion, Billy Joel, so many to mention. Best time for music. Younger people don't know what they missed. I am so proud I raised my son on my generation music. He is 46 now and still loves all this music.

Well this is the famous Philly Sound from Philadelphia International Records (PIR) they totally dominated the 70´s !

[@BennyBaxter-k8r]

I'm 77 years old & this song hits my soft spot every time I hear it

[@shaheedturner3652]

I remember Teddy Pendergrass he was one of the most respected singers of all time from his early years as the lead singer of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and as a solo artist at Philadelphia International Records!! He was with the label for a long time from 1971 to 1984!!! When you make great hit songs that last a lifetime Philadelphia International was the best record label in the world!!!! No other singers in the world couldn't hold a candle better than Teddy Pendergrass his music is powerful than a preacher gives a beautiful sermon!! God bless you!!!!

I'm 76, from Brooklyn,came up in the Marcy projects, 29 years B4 JayZ!! Motown is what music should sound like!! In Nam, in the 60s,a solid, soulful groove..." Doth tamed the savage soul""!! Any song by Bobby Womack, Johnny Taylor, Frankie Beverly etc!! U get the idea....real tunes that are unforgettable!! Baby, I'm for real!! Sad that singing is a lost art form!! ABN LRP67 😁💙
