- Humble beginnings! Teddy and Harold perform together after not performing on the same stage together for many years! Not sure if it ever changed anything between them and their relationship, but it was nice to see. 🧸🥰
I've never seen this before. I never knew that they ever reunited. So, I'm just glad to see Harold and Teddy. Rest in Peace, Fellas.
…right, forgiveness can take place…
Perfectly said. I hadn’t seen this before either but I’m so glad that I saw it now
I didn’t know they reunited as well, good to see
I know huh ✌🏽
Real talk i never seen this b4 thank God
Teddy Pendergrass deserves to be inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Wrong. He's a fraudster
@@michaelmarama-de4gxwhat you mean?
I agree 💯
@@KingBabaJames right. I gotta hear this one.
@@michaelmarama-de4gx tell us why he's a fraudster
To this day, there is NO ONE in music that has a distinctive voice like him.....his voice is the EPITOME of SOUL
My Son. You never heard of The Dells with Juion on lead vocals. This Man talk Teddy how to sing. Son!!!
Finally someone who understands me and why Teddy holds his own Mt. Rushmore place!
@@eddiewhite5001 *exactly!!!❤*
Actually there is Jaheim and Christopher Williams they have the same tones .....they the only two others❤
I agree, unparalleled never be copied!
I'm so glad to see that Teddy Pendergrass and Harold Melvin decided to make peace with each other before Harold's death in 1997 R.I.P. two legends
Me too, I didn't know they made peace until I saw this clip which was today
Teddy Pendegrass doesn't let his powerful and soulful voice get in the way of the music. Pendegrass is sorely missed
It would've been even cooler if Harold had brought Larry, Bernie, Lloyd, and Jerry with him to sing with Teddy
Harold Melvin and the Blue notes featuring Teddy Pendergrass that was the group back in my day ❤️❤️
How are you doing today
I THINK THAT TEDDY PENDERGRASS SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A STAR.
I THINK IT WAS SO UNFAIR THAT HE DID NOT EARN A GRAMMY
HE WILL ALWAYS BE A LEGEND TO ME
I feel the exact same way! Annnd that he’s not in the Hall of Fame
It just beats me as to why that always happens. I believe the same goes for Diana Ross. It seems like she never got any grammy
Yes , He Definitely should have gotten a Star ⭐️
First time seeing this. Given his limitations at this point, it makes you appreciate how much of a vocal beast Teddy was at 22 or 23 years old when he recorded this…
Yeah bro, Teddy was the man in the 70's!
@@Gump-tion - no doubt. I still listen to him regularly - with the Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and solo - and am in awe of his abilities. There was no one like him.
All the power went out of his voice after that horrific car crash in 1982.
You are so right, I remember my 1978 Trans Am with the T tops down with the teddy Pendergrass cassette player, jamming to Teddy looking for girls🥲😀
@@anthonyharty1732 Nobody like Theodore Pendergrass👍🏽
The funny thing was when I was a kid I thought Harold Melvin was singing all these songs 😂 in reality around the age of 12 I noticed Teddy was singing all the hit songs
IT'S the reason Teddy left. Because when u name a group Harold u think he's the lead but it was Teddy. And because the group was name Harold Melvin he received wayyy mo money. When teddy finally got the understanding of the industry he left.
@@joameshill1433oh wow! Finally I get it. Baffled me for years how the voice sounded like Teddy but always I assumed it was Harold Melvin
Same here! I remember my dad playing Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes albums and then Teddy P’s music, and I was confused to why he was singing lead. Lol
I also thought that Harold was singing. But you have to admit that the two of them sound alike. But I know they were not close.
So did everyone else my friend ..One of the reaseons why teddy left
RIP Harold Melvin ( 1939-1997) , RIP Teddy Pendergrass ( 1950-2010 )
Wow there all gone now then real shame
I Know Harold Hated Dying Before Teddy...IJS!!! Cause After Teddy Left His Group...That Group Went Down Hill...Real Fast -Eh.
RIHP!!!
Arsenio was the GOAT of Late Nite TV
Teddy's talent was so obvious for the world to see, and hear! If Harold Melvin hadn't let his ego, and jealousy cloud his judgment he would've kept Teddy in the group by paying him his do share, and treating him right! Man, if I had been in Harold Melvin's shoes I wouldn't have ever let Teddy get away. Good to see they got back together for this song inspite of their differences! Rip fellows!🙏
Ego? Naw, it was strictly business. It's done all the time in this and any other industry. Teddy worked for Harold Melvin. It was Harold's group, Harold had the deal with Philly International, and Harold paid ALL the bandmembers, the chaffeurs, paid for the performance clothing, medical, legal, operational, meals on the road, etc. For that, you need money. You won't be able to cover all that if you give it away to the band members.
Here's the kicker: Philly International was already taking a production deal, from CBS which meant that the royalties were already 'stepped on'. Then you have Harold Melvin's royalties, which paid for all above_____then you have so money to share if there is any left.
Teddy did the right thing: if you have the juice, then you go and get your own deal. It's that simple.
@@fostermac7170 According to fellow Blue Note Lloyd Parks, the light skinned one with the falsetto voice and friend of Teddy's, he said Harold Melvin was a thief and he stole Teddy's, Lloyd's, and the other Blue Notes' royalty money. That's why Teddy left.
@@MisterB2eternity I've been privy to the same information you were privy to. Look, the music industry is a real dirty business. It's dirty because the money is frontloaded to composers, engineers, producers, arrangers and the last to get paid are the artists. You have major distributors like Sony, CBS, RCA, etc. Then you have the folks that have production deals with labels, such as Motown, Stax, Philly International. Then you have the folks who own or control the singing groups such as Harold Melvin, or Michael Bivins (of New Edition fame who **owned** Boyz to Men), Maurice White when he had Kalimba Productions who had sub-production deals. Then THEY pay the artists.
With Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, if Harold Melvin **stole** their royalties, they could have just called the police, or gotten lawyers to squash that. No, what they did was to sign a contract that left Harold in charge of royalties for the group. The fact is that he paid them little. That's quite a bit different from **stealing* their money.
This has been going on in the music industry since the inception of royalties. The real crime is that it happens TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME. This is because these naturally talented folks won't do the hard work and get an education to go along with their natural talent. For instance, Teddy quit school to pursue music. Then, of course, he signed whatever they put in front of him without reading the small print. it gets these guys every time. There are some **success** stories, however. You can have your father look out for you in the case of the Jackson 5, or you can follow the lead of Ice Cube as he walked out on his contract with Jerry Heller and Ruthless records rather than continue to get screwed, and he got his own production and recording deal.
Some of these other folks need to learn how to count and read, and make logical decisions.
@@fostermac7170 I'M TOTALLY WITH YOU ON THIS. BELIEVE ME. You have to do your homework so you don't get robbed. As in Teddy's case he said in his book Truly Blessed that he and the Blue Notes got $12,000 for their first song I Miss You. But afterwards they got very little afterwards on the other hits. Apparently Harold went behind their back and convince Gamble and Huff to give him the money and he'll divide it amongst the group. Also, Teddy said that one summer when they were in Beverly Hills he asked Harold for some money and he told Teddy that he'll see what he can do and told him to wait right here. Little did he know that Teddy followed and looked through this key hole and saw all of this money under a mattress in the room Harold was staying in. He later learned that was the other Blue Notes and the his royalty money. Harold came back downstairs once Teddy went back to the lobby of the hotel and gave him only two hundred dollars and told him not to tell the others. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. That's when Teddy Pendergrass went solo. But you right about them contracts. You have to read before you sign which Teddy failed to do twice. The first time with Harold and the second time with his girlfriend Taaz Lang.
@@MisterB2eternity Personally, I wish it didnt happen. Everytime I'm privy to contractual stuff from musical acts, it seems like the royalties or at least the income from live shows is sufficient to pay EVERYBODY a handsome sum.
But the industry is ROTTEN from top to bottom. You speak volumes when you state that Teddy witnessed Harold having a bunch of money under his mattress. This evokes memories of Aretha Franklin or Little Richard traveling with hundreds of thousands of dollars in suitcases, because they had to INSIST that venue owners paid them in cash for their live performances, because they had been stiffed so many times before. In the case of Aretha, she didn't perform unless they paid her in cash, in advance.
You would think they would have a more sophisticated methodology to manage their money, but they too were largely uneducated.
In this industry, as well as others, you would think black folks could be at the forefront by doing things differently, since we have been royally screwed by damn near everybody, but we're not there yet, I guess.
My God that was such a beautiful talented man!!
Yes he was!!!! ❤️🧸 Thank you for watching and your comment!❤️
@@msdemelogg thank you so much for posting this!

This made me tear up. The beauty of the mement and seeing them make up but also the joy and pain in Teddy's eyes. He seemed to be struggling a bit near the of the song. Thank you for the music. RIP
I remember seeing this Arsenio show the night it came on tv. Being from Philly , this was a real treat for our family !!!
Cried all the way through this. Love you Teddy. You were blessed with a remarkable unforgettable talent 💕
All the years I've watched Arsenio Hall i never seen this episode. So nice to know now that they did reunite after all these years before they both went on to their glory
Loving this in 2022! RIP Teddy
He'll always be an iconic legendary singer and never forgotten ❤️ 💙.
This was a special moment
Someday we shall still celebrate this together in heaven absolutely amazing! RIP 💔
Amen!❤️🧸
What a sight to see The Greats Teddy Pendergrass and Harold Melvin this was awesome a sort of Blue Notes reunion and on my favorite late night talk show which I still missed The Arsenio Hall Show
I love Teddy reguardless of what age or stage in life he was at🥰❤️🖤💚rest in peace brotha and thank you for the beautiful memories ❤️🖤💚
Harold doing what he always done, standing next to Teddy getting all the credit, lol
Lol well he did start the group, Teddy just made them awesome.
Harold was not a nice person.
😂😂😂
@@carolynbratton5508 Harold gained a bad reputation but in his later years he mellowed out a lot
Teddy still had it. Still there. Great moment.
One of the best soul singers, along with Eddie Levert and Marvin Junior.
Love, love Teddy and his music! Brings back sooo many memories ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some memories that I don't even want to remember 😫
Never saw this until now, this type of music is timeless.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾R.I.P.💐 Harold Melvin & Teddy Pendergrass🎤🎤🙏🏿🙏🏿🎵🕊🕊
👏 I love this
At that time, I was happy to see that Teddy's speaking and singing were done with an improved respiration capacity. During the first part of the interview, I was unclear if this was before or after. Even the most demanding part of the song was handled well.
I’ve watched Teddy P for a long time. When he was with the blue notes he caught my eyes. After going solo I saw his apprehensions turned into greatest more and more as he gained his own place and confidence!’ Wish he was still here. Just to say thank you for your entire self and the wonderful moments you shared with the world 💞💞💞💞💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤭
Teddy Pendergrass and Harold Melvin together , this was magical
Please understand that this man's voice is so strong from a seated position. Teddy P baby!!!!
What a marvelous talent Teddy Pendergrass. And Harold Melvin.🎵🎵🎵🎵💗💗💗💗💗
My man, Teddy such talent-love him always.
I remember watching this as a kid. Seeing Teddy and Harold reunited ; Wow
The GOAT!
It was great to see them come back together again 😢 R.I.P Teddy and Melvin
I damn near fell out my chair at 3:35 when Harold struts onstage, only thing could have topped that would have been Lloyd Parks shrieking out the tenor part.
This is emotional 🥲 RIP Legends🙏🏿🎵🎤
Standing up or sitting down still out sings many❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ŕ.I.P Blue Notes. Your music 🎶 will always live on
Wow I had no idea that they had reunited. This made me happy.
So good to hear! Glad this made your day a little brighter! Thanks for watching!❤️🧸
Teddy Pendergrass is the absolute best. His charisma, his voice and the love he projects in all of his songs are timeless and beautiful. When I was in college in the late 1970's I would listen to him on Quiet Storm and to this day I love him, me and all of the women I was with when we would listen to him, one at a time of course. If The Great Teddy Pendergrass is not in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame he should be. I love you Teddy Pendergrass and I Truly Miss You My Brother. And may the Lord Bless Your Soul.
Legends!!!!
Teddy's voice is timeless!
😢😢😢😢RIP Teddy Pendergrass & Harold Melvin.Glad you both reunited before bowing to heaven calls...Miss you guys.

I’m grateful they made up! Makes me cry to see true friendship and healing instead of resentment and anger
I remember this episode! My dad hated that I stayed up late but whenever the summer came! It was on and popping, I never missed an episode
This is so honest and true what a relationship should be
One of the greatest songs ever
MASSIVE RESPECT AND LOVE A PAIR OF GREATEST VOICES HEARD IN MY LIFETIME, WITH OF COURSE ELVIS
❤❤❤
2024, ouvindo as melhores músicas,da minha Juventude,tempo Bom Demais ❤❤❤❤
I had never seen this episode Both singers are my top love that Philly song sound. R IP
when i read Teddy's book, he mentioned this. so of course i went online to try and search for it but found nothing. not a single thing let alone any footage. so this is incredible to see i didnt know footage exists! btw this took place in 1992 i believe, according to his book
I read his book as well and I have been scouring for footage of Teddy. It has been pretty difficult find, but what I find I’ll definitely keep sharing. He was such a great talent and should be in the Hall of Fame, but that’s another story for another day. Thanks for watching!
@@msdemelogg yea the fact that he hasnt been inducted yet blows my mind and its a little frustrating
@@msdemelogg and thank you for posting this gem!
There will NEVER be another Teddy. ❤
This Was Visually Deep On Many Levels. Many!
So many!!!! Thanks for watching!❤️🧸
Wow! Beautiful! Miss these Brothers
Me too! Thanks for listening!
