My radio station that plays it cut the 2nd set of lyrics out, where Teddy sings about wake up all the doctors make the old people well. Feelings from some got hurt over this. Good Grief!!
We are all thinking the same thing: how sad it is that it is so true. As I said above, it is 2024, for god sake. Wake up, people. I am glad I was adopted, and my mom was a humanitarian and taught me hate. If I ever hear that word or you judge a soul, you will be in trouble. WAKE UP WORLD.
Yes! He messed up on the beginning lyrics but his vocals are maybe the best I've ever heard live. He is in the top 5 along with David Ruffin, Marvin Gaye, James Ingram and Sam Cooke. This guy takes a backseat to no one.
@@jaynewillis2398 lol I figured out very early on that TP was the lead singer, I remember when I 1st heard the group and then heard TP solo projects, I was like them what are the odds that this group has these 2 monsters at lead vocals, then I realised that naaaaah its all TP 😂😂😂
My mum passed away last year and this was her send off song at the end of the funeral. Her favourite! I miss you so much mother.. the pain is real everyday❤
As a human being, don't be afraid to leave your comfort zone to live on a higher level of existence. You want to experience your God given human potential and everyone has a different potential. Look for the signs along the way of your path to feel more secure and happier. Be aware of these changes within yourself and how you radiate towards others . And always ask yourself if the people you are with actually care and love you or they want you to not feel success. Are they toxic to you or supportive? Be aware of the law of attraction. And when you meet someone new or you find yourself in a different environment, ask yourself, does this person or place stop my growth or raise me up?
This song is a sermon to you and i today. Use your gifts and talents etc . to help and serve others . You can’t do everything but you can do something, and what you can do you ought to do while there is time.
One of my all time favorite songs, sung by by the un comparable Teddy Pendergass! Such a wonderful and beautiful song. RIP Teddy, we miss the joy of your music very much.
I hear this song every Sunday morning when I tune into the Sonny Hill radio program. Great song, great radio show led by a great personality, Sonny Hill.
True 70’s anthem. Teddy Pendergass sang his heart out with Wake Up Everybody. That song is still relevant with the problems we’re facing today along with another great 70’s anthem that tackles with the problems we’re facing as well today that’s still relevant,Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On.
This song needs to be playing everywhere in this crazy country people we are in this together just like teddy sings it if we don't stay together as one nation under God our government is trying to separate us get it together
This message could not be more fitting than for the times we are in today. We cannot give up hope. We have to get involved and stand together. Together the minority become the majority. This Native Latina woman sends you all love and peace. You are somebody, we are somebody. Wake Up Everybody!
I remember as a kid sleeping over my grandparents' house and they set a radio alarm for me because we needed to leave early the next morning. This song woke me up.... and I just remember being in no rush to turn it off because the song just lit up my soul. It was a dulcet sound. The sun was just starting to rise from my window view on the outskirts of Boston. What a time to be alive. The gritty streets. The old box cars. The concrete jungle. It was just.... all the 70s.
The most underrated unspoken of voice in all of music! Mediocre’s are walking on a ‘modern day talent tv show’ witj half a voice and the world loses their mind it goes viral, so backwards!
Nonsense! A song that is still being played is what makes it a classic. What exactly does "just thing of the many..." mean? If a song no longer has relevance years later, the tune would not be covered by other artists. How many remakes are there of "Purple People Eater," vs. "A Change Is Gonna Come?" The second is still relevant; the first remains in the moldy oldies bin.
I wish the world would wake up now before it’s TOO late ……52 years ago this masterpiece graced our listening senses and it could have been written about the present day.
One of the most underrated songs in music history. It deserves to be counted among the great classics such as Blowing in the wind, What a wonderful world, All you need is love, Imagine, Ebony & Ivory and many others.
The year was 1975 when Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes release this song wake up everybody and this will be the last performance as a bluenote for Teddy Pendergrass before he went on to pursue a solo career the year was 1975 when the world had minor problems that could have been resolved if one would just listen to this song the year is now 2021 and it's a shame that this song is still relevant a beautiful song by McFadden and Whitehead Philadelphia International records number one for soul music🎙🎼🎶🎵🎹🎺🎷🥁
@@hassanabdullah5023 I agree and if you and your 50 60s or 70s yrs and still doing the same thing you did as a teenager something is seriously wrong with you and I'm talking about the people who have not woke up yet if you know what I mean
Minor problems? 1975 was the last year of the Vietnam war ringing up a net total of 1.3 million deaths. OPEC cartels, fuel shortages, Watergate. Air and Water pollution is substantially better now. The Cold War fueled proxy wars throughout the globe. Poverty among African Americans is much reduced since the 70's. Some things are worse now, some things are better. Mostly there's light shined on on our problems due to technology. The Civil Rights Act, which codified federal law regarding civil rights was signed in 1964. 1975 was a mere 11 years from southern segregation. We made great strides in that 11 years. You can eat anywhere you want. You can go anywhere you want. Nobody can stop you. We have a ways to go, but we've won many battles.
@@thatrollinstoner7437 We're making some progress but we're also falling behind in other areas because our basic problems aren't being fixed and everyone knows that they could be. Every other wealthy country has free health care for all. Most have really strong affordable housing, free lifetime education, very low to no homelessness, high minimum incomes, less super-duper-wealthy, etc. But, according to the Dems we don't have the money for any of this. Bernie Sanders put a motion before the Senate for free dental and eye care for Medicare patients. It failed 97 to 3. That means all the Dems voted against it.
Oops again..The song was released in 1976 yet with all the wars & violence in this world this song still sends out a very strong message.... Teddy P. & his wonderful voice will carry on through the years. Gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN.😢😫Thank God my mom got me & my brothers to listen to 70's music we still listen to today. Today's music sucks so I resort to good R & B, Blues, etc. Have a wonderful night..🤗💜💜🙏🎵🎙🎶🌠
Teddy was a good looking man with a beautiful voice like his legendary rival...Marvin Gaye. He didn't seem as troubled as Marvin was but I still prefer My Marvin of love ❤. He was a genius. And this song is beautiful. Rip to both of them.
This was Teddy's song. No one sang it better though many tried. Such an awful shame life went terrible a few years later. He had it all, the voice, the talent, a handsome dude the ladies loved. God rest you kind Sir. Amen.
This is so true in 2021 it's so sad to see that these young black youths don't have a father figure in there lives. There are so many of them that are lost and can't seem to find there way in this cruel world. Please step up to the plate and let them know that they are worthy of being loved be their example. Reach out they need you
So true kids so confused about their identity dont know what they want to be and its not just the men its women messing up the youth too god help us all
Oh yes Take us back Teddy" It still sounds Beautiful you were telling us back in 1975 to wake up !! & that time was so much better back in the day ! we need it more so now than ever ~ God Bless You ~ Your Still Loved By Many !
Love this track. It's message is even more relevant today than it was then. Schools should put this song & Mercy, Mercy Me by Marvin Gaye on the curriculum!!!!

Beautiful music to a beautifull song! The lyrics still ring true today.
Yes you are a great song
Beautiful
when the Urban League made this their 70s promo, it was right on track.
Was just thinking the same thing listening to it now through crom cast on my tv just thought same thing x
My radio station that plays it cut the 2nd set of lyrics out, where Teddy sings about wake up all the doctors make the old people well. Feelings from some got hurt over this. Good Grief!!
Back when artists could sing their songs
He has such a beautiful voice, and it's 2024, and people still need to wake up!!!!!
We are all thinking the same thing: how sad it is that it is so true. As I said above, it is 2024, for god sake. Wake up, people. I am glad I was adopted, and my mom was a humanitarian and taught me hate. If I ever hear that word or you judge a soul, you will be in trouble. WAKE UP WORLD.
We Sure Do! I Wish I Could Do More... 🤍✌️🖤🕊️
Whoever Listening To This Song In 2024 ARE AWAKE......Where My Thumb Up
We've been sleeping for so long at this point ,,doesnt even matter who wakes up.
Vote ❤
Beautiful...unfortunately people don't listen.
Smiles, hi Kate 👋
The 1970s were the best!! I miss the 1970s
me too
Absolutely the Best 🎶
Philly sound of the 70's was the best!
Teddy was not lip syncing here...and it still sounds studio quality! Damn, his voice was fantastic...great song.
I noticed that too!!
As this was a variant Version because he didn't bark at the dope man!!
The raw talent was just unmatched
Yes! He messed up on the beginning lyrics but his vocals are maybe the best I've ever heard live. He is in the top 5 along with David Ruffin, Marvin Gaye, James Ingram and Sam Cooke. This guy takes a backseat to no one.
And everybody thought all the songs were sung by Harold Melvin but all sung by Teddy. The man was a legend.

Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
Sorry for your loss. I loss my mom too. ❤💔🕊🙏. Beautiful song.
Still listening in 2024. So relevant to today and so badly needed to hear again. He was a true gentleman and musical genius. ❤❤

Released in November 1975, 48 years later in 2023 maybe we should have listened ❤
Listening in 2024
You could not u were not even born
I swear if there is ever to be a ranking of the greatest songs in human history then this one here should be among the top 10.
Absolutely ✊
Watch "Harold Melvin & The Blue
I totally agree with you.
This is good but you need to listen to some 60’s folk music there are a lot of great lyrics out there.
This song is so true what are we teaching our children
I cannot keep adding comments. What abeautiful world it would be with people like him in it.
Great song
I agree! The world needs more pure hearted loving people. I loved Teddy. RIP🙏❤
Teddy was a genius. This song was all his.
NO TRUER WORDS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN!!!!

One of my all time favorite songs, sung by by the un comparable Teddy Pendergass! Such a wonderful and beautiful song. RIP Teddy, we miss the joy of your music very much.
This song is as so many have commented, perfect and timeless for every generation. With true meaning.
When black music was tge best ever . 👍🏴
Always will be.😊
Wake up people we can't do it alone. The world won't get any better if we just let it be. Wake up wake up
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE JAMS. IT WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🏆🏆🏆
Yes it was. This should be the theme song for this year presidential campaign
This song can make me cry 😢
I hear this song every Sunday morning when I tune into the Sonny Hill radio program. Great song, great radio show led by a great personality, Sonny Hill.
Beautifully sang Mr.Pendergrass.Lets put this song/ message out there in our radios.People need to hear this.Great song.Listening today 2-22-24
Yes… there was a time when Black Culture existed. 😢
So sad what my people have become. RIP Teddy ❤️
Got to be one of the best songs that resonates with the World (and UK) today.
Sounds as good today as it did 50 years ago and we're still trying to get people to wake up
This song is inspiring me to change careers and become a teacher.
I agree. This man will always be my favorite singer! This is what class looks like. So romantic.🤭💜🥰🙏🏽
The 70s = Better music, Better culture, Better people
You were not even born
I'm so agree
You said the truth
Classy not trashy
Maybe ..
Beautiful melodic voice of Teddy Pendergrass. He sounds pitch perfect live and recorded. Rest in peace, Teddy.
What a beautiful song. It gave me hope back in the '70s.
And those words remain so relevant....wake up
He is a saint. Imagine someone like him as a Prime Minister. And, his fellow singers.
He's a sexy sinner. Teddy Pendergrass was far from a saint.
Damn this song resonates with every generation 😩♥️ RIP TEDDY
Look where we are at very prophetic song😢!!!! Wake up run to jesus!!!!!
Amen....HE is returning Soon !!
Who's still listening in 2024.
Posting soon...how I love this song!
Yo misma 😊
No I’m listening in 3051
This song is so fitting for what is coming
This song is perfect for today 2021. In other words this is another timeless song with great meaning...
Yep
The Roots and John Legend did justice to this song
That's right
2022
Even now december 2022. I wish we could turn back the time.
when a song touches your soul...you know it's just perfect..R.I.P. Teddy...you are amazing.
True 70’s anthem. Teddy Pendergass sang his heart out with Wake Up Everybody. That song is still relevant with the problems we’re facing today along with another great 70’s anthem that tackles with the problems we’re facing as well today that’s still relevant,Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On.
If people would just listen
Amen, We need to come together.
This song needs to be playing everywhere in this crazy country people we are in this together just like teddy sings it if we don't stay together as one nation under God our government is trying to separate us get it together
I SAID THE SAME
It's still a problem because the same people are in control.
