RIP Teddy Pendergrass
by Scallywag
Goddamn, that man could sing. This is EASILY one of my favorite songs of all time - any era, any genre. The Thelma Houston version was a bigger hit apparently, but the Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes version is just untouchable: so huge and uplifting, yet filled with heartbreak.
Rest easy, Teddy, and thank you for the music.
BONUS: Extended Tom Moulton version + killer edit of "The Love I Lost" . Do the world a favor and play one of these at the end of the night this weekend.
