My greatest ever has to be Teddy Pendergrass. Johnny Gill will also be in my top 10. Other notables would be Christopher Williams, and these other guys from your list - Howard Hewitt, James Ingram, Jeffrey Osbourne and Freddie Jackson.

Teddy P, Believe in Love waht a song

Ofoje2 · Post by **Ofoje2** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 3:50 pm

There is one Teddy P's song i don't get to hear more often, (Could We Be lovers) not sure, but i think it was off the Joy album 88/89.

I know some of our older forumers will not agree with me, but for me ...this is one the best song TP ever recorded.

Ofoje2, my bro you're damn right we wouldn't agree with you. By the time of the Joy album, TP was already crippled by that accident. This affected his vocal range and power. Joy was OK, but no match to his earlier albums that included classics such as Turn off the lights, Close the door, Love TKO, Somebody loves you back, etc.

The man was just too much back then, even going back to when he first blew up as lead singer of Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes with classics like, If you don't know me by now.

AL GREEN. "Let's Stay Together" is such a great song.

P.S All the T.P shriners probably never heard a lot of Marvin Gaye. I don't think you can put Gaye and T.P in the same galaxy.

tRUE!!!!!!Gaye is in the same galaxy as Mayfield, Hathaway,etc,.........But Pendergrass is the 2nd coming of crooners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember Hewitt spewing soulful notes over Shalamar classics like "Over & Over", Closer" and This is For The Lover In You".......Man, his voice had some substance to it...Brings back some great memories..Even his solo albums were worth getting.......Shalamar died when he hit the road.....

I'm chairman of the TP Shriners Association and can state categorically that my guy could sing better than Marvin. I concede that Marvin's "Let's get it on" may be the best ballad ever made, but no one could belt out a note like TP. The guy's voice was awesome. It was pure ear-gasm for the ladies too

.

Marvin may have been more popular, more commercially successful and some of his tunes may have had a stronger social commentary. But Teddy was Da Original Man. Pure raw soul straight from the groin, through the heart and out of his vocal chords.
