Teddy Pendergrass TRULY Hated Him More Than Anyone.. (And Now We Know Why)

[@Ken-bj9uy]

Teddy was a truly great singer.

[@danastewart8709]

Harold cheated him out of money and the rest of the group.

[@dawudabdullaah6977]

I saw the trans in an interview. He said he lived near Teddy, and when Teddy was leaving the club, he asked him if he wanted a ride home, and they crashed. He said there was nothing between them.

[@STAR-tj7qo]

🛑THAT DONT SOUND RIGHT TO ME. DO U REALLY BELIEVE THAT?

[@Unrealma348]

Sure😂 They let Eddie Murphey use that excuse tho.

[@mikebarnett3395]

People always in someone else's bis.

[@Elwrt455]

A goddamn lie! Teddy was a bi-sexual and dated that transvestite. Teddy paid for the transgender operatio. Harold may have put a Voodoo curse on Teddy - I lost my mom and girlfriend like that

[@paulakelley6883]

Harold's voice wasn't as strong and powerful as Teddy's. People wanted to hear teddy lead

[@kingemerald1]

A killa jam that TP belted, that gets played a lot on satellite radio is " Be for real ". That song is beyond deep.

[@darnelldaughtrey3646]

Teddy list his mind on that song seriously.

[@darnelldaughtrey3646]

Lost his mind I mean.

No it was the way around Harlod Melvin Hated Teddy Pendergrass because Teddy sing better and he looked better than Harold Teddy was the max....Harold was very jealous of Teddy Pendergrass

[@DoshonFarad1914]

Uh oh!

[@patriciamissie8763]

Teddy Pendergrass caught Harold hiding money from him and the rest under his mattress and didn't give them their right share.

[@silviafigueroa8813]

Their was always a tension in the air between herold and teddy. Like when teddy was called some hot chocolate by the group and teddy Baer oh teddy Baer in a kind of way

[@MisterB2eternity]

@@patriciamissie8763 It was their royalty money.

[@rodmckinney40]

You are absolutely right

[@kenneycooper6199]

Teddy Pendergrass had that raspy voice that I guarantee you no one can ever copy.

[@jjohnson2405]

remember the ebonys

[@GarwinWayne]

Teddy was actually influenced by Marvin Junior of The Dells

[@thomasbrown3356]

​@@GarwinWayneYep. Gamble and Huff, wanted their own version of the Dells. Same with the Emotions. When they wouldn't leave Chicago for Philly, Philadelphia international created the Jones Girls.

[@Tammy-tv6cz]

Handsome he was so fine 🥰🥰🥰

[@mightyfineanderson]

His smile was all of that

[@msolomon1781]

Transformers more than meets the eyes! 🤷🏾‍♂️🌈🤭

[@aubreytaylor7942]

Melvin hated Teddy because he got all the shine

[@darryl-hv1cj]

Harold Melvin should have been more grateful to Teddy for putting the group on the map giving them chart topping hits and he was wrong for trying to keep all the money thus Teddy went solo and the rest is history!!!

[@Bassdrumguitar]

Harold did Teddy dirty, ESPECIALLY financially, and it's all been well documented. He was always jealous of Teddy because Teddy out shined him. In fact, their voices are similar in tone, but Teddy had that extra gear or the "it" factor that Harold quite frankly didn't have. Before Teddy's accident, there were some freaky things happening to him. Breaks went out on one of his cars, vandalism to his cars, items stolen, his friend and manger was murdered (I forgot her name), and then the "accident" happened and what was the cause, his breaks went out. Makes one think doesn't it. (Well just as I hit send, they mentioned her name in the doc)

[@sharonjohnson5242]

Was it Tink ? supposedly Turquoise Erving was in the car. In the car behind them saw everybody

[@michaeledwards3578]

Harold was a great singer too

[@darryl-hv1cj]

Harold Melvin should thank Teddy for putting him on the map they were nothing without Teddy!!!

[@williamjackson8752]

I was at the Apollo the night Harold Melvin and him got into a fist fight back stage and broke up. It delayed the Show but they came on stage like nothing happened. He broke into Hope that we can be together soon with Sharon Paige and brought the house down.

[@MisterB2eternity]

Not surprise because in his book "Truly Blessed" he said that Harold slapped him because either he didn't acknowledge one of Harold's "important" friends or disrespected him. I think this allegedly happened in California. According to the other Blue Note Lloyd Parks Harold Melvin was one cold hearted guy.

[@Gloria-x6p]

Melvin and pendergrass had a fist fight.

[@josephdavis3686]

Name of the group should have been Teddy Pendergrass and the Rest of Them.

[@coldskoolbeatz]

[@patriciasmith8991]

MY FAVORITE ALL TIME GROUP MY NUMBER 1 SONG. I MISS YOU. AND TODAY IN MY OLDER YEARS I STILL LOOK LIKE TEDDY PENDERGRASS MY GREAT GRAND CHILDREN CALL ME GRANDPA TEDDY

[@GSEntertainment-hn2xn]

I would love to see your picture looking like TP

[@jeremymanning2132]

Most band members left Harold because he paid them so little. Whilst touring they would have to stay in the cheapest motels etc whilst Harold would stay in the best hotels. They struggled with a lack of money whilst Harold would be flashing his cash. Teddy made the group famous and when he left the group never found that level again. 👍👍

[@thekoolbreeze]

This Story Is All Over The Place.

[@michelledorest7196]

Harold was jealous of Teddy. Teddy found out Harold was also cheating them out of money. Teddy went solo but after Teddy’s car accident they started speaking to each other again they appeared on Arsenio Hall show singing.

[@MykeFord950]

Regarding the murder of Teddy's first manager Taaz Lang in 1976 There were always rumors in Philly that Teddy had something to do with it because she was set to get a huge percentage of all of his future earnings A well known Philly DJ Sonny Hopson also reiterated that in the Pendergrass documentary "If You Don't Know Me By Now"

[@spalshfam3338]

Teddy was a great singer, had a good voice, but so did Harold Melvin. He had no reason to be jealous of Teddy.

[@jjohnson2405]

Vocally, Harold couldn't touch Teddy.

[@gunorijssel7987]

Come On Bro. STOP comparing apples with oranges!

[@spalshfam3338]

I still say, Harold could hold his own, and had no reason to be jealous of Teddy.

[@ladygemini5967]

But he was TP was the man

[@peterbalac1915]

Teddy had the full package, looks voice charismatic demeanor he actually got more handsome as he aged. My favourite group but it was all down to Teddy imo.

[@rlbk525]

Teddy got advice about living as an entertainer living with paralysis from Johnny Wilder of Heatwave, he suffered paralysis from the neck down three years prior to Teddy. 😯

[@dappdaddy33]

…the GOAT Teddy Pendergrass 💯✔️👑…

[@glennkarant6760]

Stop as they were both truly had brilliantly iconic and legendary voices, man...

[@danastewart8709]

Harold was haten on teddy big time and he would half pay his group and cheat them out of money so Teddy told him that he could do better going solo by his damn self and when teddy left the group went down hill that's karma.

[@paulflanagan5395]

(MY FATHER'S CHILD), HIS LAST CUT B4 HE DIED.

[@chriscesario5778]

Not true

[@ClaasPieterse-oh7fw]

Harold Melvin was also a great singer...he gave Teddy a chance to sing...he wasn't selfish

[@patriciamissie8763]

He was only selfish about paying them their fair share of the profits.

[@genevacottingham1489]

I totally agree with Patriciamissie8763, if I work hard. I want what fairly mine. Greed will make you lose everything.

[@blutee176]

Yes he was selfish with the money. Thats another reason teddy left

[@lavictorsermons6632]

These two men are dead and gone. Leave it alone. Neither one can set the record straight now. They supposedly made up on Arsenio Hall some years ago.

[@kevinballenger1211]

Teddy Pendergrass Was The Star! When I First Heard Of Them, I Thought HE Was Harold Melvin! And When Teddy Went Solo, Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes Faded!

[@josephdavis3686]

Hell Harold Melvin thought Teddy Pendergrass was Harold Melvin his ass couldn't sing.

[@dwaynebryantjr3121]

Nah...Gamble & Huff did all that..They also tried to convince LeVert to leave the O'Jays back then...

[@dirkmassey5654]

I think he sang "Don't leave me this way" better then Thelma Houston ever did. They talk like she improved it or somethin'. 'why I don't think many people realize he even did that song let alone was the original to sing it. I wonder if it was because she covered it so soon after it was made is why she over shadowed him wit' it. 'cause Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes released it in '75, Thelma Houston released it in '76. But if anyone readin' this never heard TP sing it, google it, and listen for yourself, and tell me if it don't sound better when Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes sang it.

[@____2080_____]

13:14 what the heck? Everyone knew this was Teddy Pendergrass. Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes outside of that one hit with Pentergrass is a non-starter.

[@tonytay4320]

Please tell Snope Dog that....

Harold Melvin astrological sign cancer Teddy pendergrass astrological sign Aries ♈

[@perrydunham]

Teddy Pendergrass was raised in Philadelphia, but he was not born in Philadelphia. He was born in Kingstree, South Carolina.

[@charlottewest1799]

Everybody KNEW Teddy was the SINGER of the group, NOT Harold Melvin. Harold hated Teddy because Teddy eas the true star.

[@J.Crooner]

🤔Teddy's car accident wasn't an accident. It was a conspiracy to commit 1st Degree Murder made to look like a tragic accident. Doesn't it seem a bit strange that out of all the millions of cars driving around the country in 1982 that the legendary Teddy Pendergrass car was the only one that crashed because of failed brakes that seemingly went out without any warnings?😳 I bet you it was Harold Melvin's Jealous AZZ that cut the brake lines and he probably did it with a pair of mini bolt cutters. He look like he would do some shady crap like that especially after all of his money ran out. The same money that actually belonged to Teddy Pendergrass that he kept hidden from him inside of a mattress for his contribution to his group. SHAME ON YOU HAROLD MELVIN!!!!! THAT'S RIGHT!!!!! I SAID IT!!!!! I'M BLAMING HAROLD MELVIN FOR THE CRASH!!!!!😩

[@savoyaepps646]

Yikes!

[@J.Crooner]

Unfortunately now we know why Teddy Pendergrass lived a mostly private life. All the women loved him but most men with the exception of Sammie Davis Jr. hated on Teddy to the point where they'd rather see this man tragically in a grave.🪦 Well they succeeded.😩 Are They Happy Now!!!!!🤷😳 So Yikes is Right!!!!!🤕

[@SharonSimmons-c6o]

Sad careful of company you keep.Rest Teddy pendergrass in Jesus 😮.🙏

[@J.Crooner]

@@SharonSimmons-c6o Agreed💯% That's why Teddy was mostly a private person. The man had far too many haters especially the Philadelphia Police Department. They wanted him gone too and made numerous attempts to end his life.😔

[@Tammy-tv6cz]

No, he was in a accident

[@Sunny-il1xm]

PBS had a special on him prior to his accident. I can still remember how awesome it was. OMG, how sexy he was in that video.😢😢

Some time u have to b mindful of the second person the backup always steal the show ???

If you hated him more than Marvin Gaye, that’s really something

[@denzelw9664]

Get your facts correct. Teddy P was not born in Philadelphia. Man was born in Kingstree, S.C. He later moved to Philadelphia.

[@matthewgaines10]

One of the least concise videos ever. Title say one thing and the video is a vomit of everything else.

[@DIEFDEXTER]

As a kid who grew up in Philadelphia during the time of Teddy there were a lot of rumors about him and his sexuality in fact as a Young Man coming age during this time you were warned if a Rolls-Royce pulled up to you And wanted to talk to you you were to walk away quickly it seems Teddy had a taste for young boys but these were just rumors 😮

[@dappdaddy33]

….LIAR and HATER💯✔️…

[@michaeledwards3578]

Teddy was involved in the murder of his woman manager

[@itsmythang4177]

I believe that story myself ! That car crash was his carma.

[@vincentrobinson3078]

Another rumor was that the Black Mafia had her taken care of, because she was too controlling of his career.
