	Alongside Barry White and Al Green, Teddy Pendergrass is one of the ultimate "lover man" R&B singers. His rough-smooth voice, all intensity, texture, and intimacy, is so perfectly suited to Philly International's rich, string-sweetened production and silky grooves (not to mention Gamble & Huff's well-penned tunes) that it's no wonder he became one of the most popular R&B performers of the late-1970s and early-'80s.
	Love songs were Pendergrass's thing, and they make up the lion's share of any of his solo releases, so while a compilation entitled THE LOVE SONGS COLLECTION may seem a bit redundant, it is also (from a marketing perspective) totally understandable. That said, LOVE SONGS contains most of the singer's best-known hits, including "Turn Off the Lights," "Come Go With Me," and "Close the Door" (which remains something of a signature song). Though it sacrifices much of his best up-tempo material, this is, at 17 tracks, an excellent overview of Pendergrass's command of the slow jam.

Artist Overview

Teddy Pendergrass's rough, sensual croon was first introduced to the listening public during his tenure as a singer for Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. After leaving the group in 1976, Pendergrass recorded several albums for Gamble & Huff's famed Philadelphia International label, and became one of the definitive purveyors of the slow jam. Pendergrass was left permanently paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair following a car accident in 1983. Despite his disability, Pendergrass continued to record and has remained one of R&B's most popular artists.
