As a Caucasian, I’ve been wondering for the last few years why I absolutely love soul music. Until today when I realized I was raised on soul train! I loved this show when I was little.
Yes me too I’m 70 now but back when I was in eighth grade the first black kid moved into our white classroom, we became instant friends and we grooved to Soul Train every Saturday!
@@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.
Loving this in 2024! I wonder if we will ever get music as good as this again. Certainly not in my lifetime! Nothing from the last 20 years compares to this.
@@elizabethsinclair4521 Just had to add... the line when he starts to sing, ugh, kill me now. Toss in that gorgeous smile, I'm in heaven. 🥰😇 Ok, I've put myself back together - I'm fine now 🤣🤣
Me too I miss those years I was a young wife with two babies, happy and Dam I looked good watched soul train and danced in my living room with my babies and stepped out on Saturday night with my Husband and friends,wearing beautiful outfits and heels 👠,best days of my life …
69 and going on 70 and.. still dancing my ass off to this classic. Heck... just tore a hole in my tight crotch flares! But what a memory when I first heard this on the disco floor of a Greek Bar in Germany of all places back in '73. Huff & Gamble... brilliant song writers. Check out all their amazing other hits. Nothing like this today sadly. Much missed Teddy!
That’s because these were real men. Not these little BS boys who call themselves “rappers”. Girls went crazy over Teddy. I don’t know how these girls love these guys today.
70 year old white guy who always listened to great music like this. Still do. Teddy had one of the greatest voices of all time!!! I have a huge music collection and listen to great music when ever I want to!!!
It’s nice to see that other white boys felt the same way about this genre’ it was unmatched & it will nvr ever be done again by anyone….although Bruno Mars & silk sonic do give it a run for its $$$ but still not the same…😎
I'M A DIE HARD MOTOWN FAN AS MY NAME SAYS.......I GREW UP IN NORTH JERSEY DURING THE 60'S NOW LIVE IN THE PHILLY SUBURBS 15 MINUTES FROM WEST PHILLY AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THE " PHILLY SOUND""......IT WAS THE MUSIC OF THE 70'S......TO ME GAMBLE AND HUFF ARE MUSICAL GODS !!! PS SORRY FOR THE CAPS.... BAD EYES :(
It was everywhere. All the stations had mostly, not all but mostly quality music. Music that was interesting, cool, fun, you had to hear it twenty times and still loved it. Good groove music is my drug, I admit it.
@@xjems Not quite....MFSB, SALSOUL ORCHESTRA, BRASS CONSTRUCTION, RUFUS, WAR, AWB and countless others had impeccable arrangements and did not rely on the REMIX and SAMPLING which dominates the HOUSE genre.....close but NO CIGAR....THE 70s was REAL MUSIC
You are absolutely right. Though futuristic in my musical taste, I long for this depth and magnificence in music. I'm a HouseHead, and at least I get to enjoy deep house remixes of this wonderful collaboration. Hal Mel & The Bluenotes, feat Teddy Pendergrass was a pure golden sound, and I still love them.
Soul Train brought some of the best acts to the little screen every Saturday! We looked forward every weekend just to see who was the guest act. And of course let’s not forget the dancers and the fashion ❤❤❤😊
it's October 2022 I will never tire of listening to this Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes song...Teddy is fantastic not only singing but telling this love story like only he can.brilliant ❤
However, there is hope. If you haven't yet heard Angelina Jordan from 7 years old, now 18 interpret Billie Holliday, Etta James, Elvis, etc., etc., then you have something very nice to look forward to. Here is the link to her own 60-70's version "Good in goodbyes" fixed in a slightly more modern vintage. ua-cam.com/video/zyIJguL1ZH8/v-deo.htmlsi=rXqemj4WuGli9HW9
He was one òvmy greatest singers .Him and Íac Hayes and the Temptation And Lutherand .I truly mis thêm all số much. And I líten to thêm all everybtime I get.
You said it, Monte. When we turned on the radio back then and listened to top 40 music it was awesome. Teddy was fabulous. There was so much great pop music and different genres...All the great motown and philly artists, singer/songwriters, soft rock, hard rock, we had it all. At that young age I thought it would go on forever....boy was I wrong.
Teddy is without any doubt the greatest soul singer of all time. He literally put his heart and soul into every song.the blue notes backed him sublimely.this is my fav video of them. Majestic.
rest in peace Mr Quincy Jones my prayers are for the whole family always loved you. You were a good soul God bless you rip with your beautiful peggy❤❤❤
When this song was hit back in 1974, I was a 19 yr old Marine stationed on Okinawa. My cute blonde hair, brown eyed girlfriend mailed me the dreaded "Dear John Letter." I was heartbroken. Loved this song.
This song will forever remind me of my youth. Teddy Pendergrass... by god you had charisma in spades and what a powerful voice! The ladies loved you and us men simply admired you! RIP.

This music style has Gospel roots and this certainly has its black roots! But MORE IMPORTANTLY like you said IT HAS TOGETHERNESS!!!

I'm 65, white, love rock n roll but even at a very young age tunes like this one hit me deep w/different emotions. You feel like crying but yet you really feel like dancing too. Always loved this group & there high energy. I just discovered this vid & to me it's the best. R.I.P. & t/y Sir Teddy !
Feel like crying because the Era is bygone, these guys sang from their souls, and the music was beautiful. And who cares about your color or lack of color?
We had some great music in the 70s. Back in 1974 when this was a hit I was in the United States Marine Corps, stationed on Okinawa at Camp Foster. My girlfriend mailed me the Dreaded Dear John Letter. It broke my heart. But, by 1981 I married the cutest lady in the world. We celebrated our 43rd Anniversary on 21 March 2024.
Who whould imagine this music is over 50 years old , and sounds so good it will still get you on the dancefloor ,it gets to your soul, that's what you call music ♥️
Are you kidding? This type of music is all I listen to . The worse thing that ever happened to pop music is when the Beatles got off the plane in New York.
ABSOLUTELY NO MUSIC LIKE THIS TODAY. 70'S SOUL MUSIC🕺 IS UNMATCHED. WHO AGREES?
I agree
The melody and vocals have left the music.

@@adotintheshark4848 Amen!!!! I love rock, pop, hip hop, soul, jazz, blues, etc. Music has no barriers.
@@trishmarsh1968 me too, in fact even a few classical pieces.
Feel like crying because the Era is bygone, these guys sang from their souls, and the music was beautiful. And who cares about your color or lack of color?
This sound cradled my childhood. I feel so blessed to have been born in the 70s!
We had some great music in the 70s. Back in 1974 when this was a hit I was in the United States Marine Corps, stationed on Okinawa at Camp Foster. My girlfriend mailed me the Dreaded Dear John Letter. It broke my heart. But, by 1981 I married the cutest lady in the world. We celebrated our 43rd Anniversary on 21 March 2024.
I’m 20 years of age and love this. Gosh, the harmonies are beautiful

Are you kidding? This type of music is all I listen to . The worse thing that ever happened to pop music is when the Beatles got off the plane in New York.
