The Essential Teddy Pendergrass

In 1970, Teddy moved from the drum stool to the mic in Harold Melvin's Blue Notes-and a new soul star was born. Here's a 2-CD, 150-minute anthology of his smashes with Melvin ( If You Don't Know Me by Now; Wake Up Everybody; The Love I Lost ), with Whitney Houston ( Hold Me ) and on his own ( Close the Door; Love T.K.O.; Turn Off the Lights; I Don't Love You Anymore; Joy )!
