Another great has left us with sad hearts and empty ears. Teddy Pendergrass passed away yesterday. With a voice that would bring a girl to her knees and an unmatched contribution to music, he will surely be missed.

I have to be honest and say that my most favorite Teddy Pendergrass songs are really Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes‘ songs. What from the solo catalog really compare to If You Don’t Know Me By Now, Wake Up Everybody, Don’t Leave Me This Way, and I Miss You? Nevertheless, I could not live without the career defining Turn of the Lights, You’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration, and The Whole Town’s Laughing at Me, among others.

Here are some great clips from a 1979 concert to enjoy and honor his memory.

Close The Door Live

When Somebody Loves You Back Live

RIP Teddy P.
