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!!
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.
Nobody sings or has Sang like Teddy,he was the best .
totally agree... but Luther Vandross is another legend too
Das ist das beste was je garb ❤
You were not even born
Its harold melvin
Folks this is WHY the 1970s music is Heavenly sounding...the Harmonies the Arrangements and most Importantly the Musicians...
RIP Teddy your voice was so special...
Profound
We have Da Baby today leading the way
@@Baraka_Obama_ 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
this, seriously. i'm 15 and love ALL kinds of music (stuff from today too, ofc!) but god theres really something from this era you can't find anywhere else. it's really heavenly to listen to, tbh.
@@bnha go check out the album An Evening With Silk Sonic, it was inspired by the philly sound and the blue notes in particular
The 1970s were the best!! I miss the 1970s
The 70s = Better music, Better culture, Better people
You were not even born
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.
@@Mike-yg8ighow did he " mess up" in the a beginning??,,
@@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 😂😂😂
Back when artists could sing their songs
Teddy was a genius. This song was all his.
NO TRUER WORDS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN!!!!
@@keciahobson4117 written by John Whitehead, Gene McFadden and Victor Carstarphen.
This song can unite the people around the world! This song should be the worlds anthem
@@wiks101 right √√√ but a good singer...
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.
Philly sound of the 70's was the best!
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
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?
He was telling people to “wake up” back in 1976. Here we are today still trying to get folks “woke”.
True
Hi great song.
@ Coco. Preach!
1975
"Woke" is a perversion of what they want you to think you're doing. #WalkAway
Yes… there was a time when Black Culture existed. 😢
So sad what my people have become. RIP Teddy ❤️
Thank You Don Cornelius for Soul Train and for your vision....
RIP Brother
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🙏❤
When black music was tge best ever . 👍🏴
2024 and this song is still relevant. That's how you know it is a classic
So true...
Nonsense! Whether a song is a classic has got nothing to do with relevance - just thing of the many performers of the same song, even this piece, yet their version didn't become a classic!
It's, of course, how the song is performed that counts!
@@johnnwako2488 You are entitled to your opinion, however, your opinion does not make my comment nonsensical, it makes it your opinion. Get a grip.
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.
You were not even born
Got to be one of the best songs that resonates with the World (and UK) today.
when a song touches your soul...you know it's just perfect..R.I.P. Teddy...you are amazing.
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.
This song is as so many have commented, perfect and timeless for every generation. With true meaning.
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.
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.
Teddy loved his voice R.I.P.
He is a saint. Imagine someone like him as a Prime Minister. And, his fellow singers.
When I was four years old, I loved this song. Who would have thought in 2024 it would be truer today? How sad. AKE UP PEOPLE.
Still listening in 2024. So relevant to today and so badly needed to hear again. He was a true gentleman and musical genius. ❤❤
Smiles, hi Connie 👋
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
How relevant to the world today 🌏🌎🌍
June 12, 1977 - Teddy Pendergrass goes solo. Beginning as simply a drummer who also happened to have quite a voice, Teddy Pendergrass developed into one of the hottest singers in the world during the mid-70s as part of vocal group Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, but on this day in 1977, he took his meteoric career to the net level, leaving the group and issuing his solo debut album, establishing a solo career that was both brilliant and tragic.
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
Look where we are at very prophetic song😢!!!! Wake up run to jesus!!!!!
Amen....HE is returning Soon !!
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.
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.
Love it it still sounds fresh give me the old school music
That's nice
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🎙🎼🎶🎵🎹🎺🎷🥁
My thoughts exactly sadly nothing has changed and no one listened peace
@@ronaldcappa3297 you are absolutely right especially those black old school politician who know of this song wake up everybody
True the dead and the living are not the same spiritually and mentally wake up.
@@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.
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!
Teddy Pendegrass never failed to deliver a good song. What a voice 🎤 x
Indeed. When he went solo his career went bizarre!
Beautiful...unfortunately people don't listen.
Smiles, hi Kate 👋
Beautiful melodic voice of Teddy Pendergrass. He sounds pitch perfect live and recorded. Rest in peace, Teddy.
Someone Like Teddy should Live Forever
Damn this song resonates with every generation 😩♥️ RIP TEDDY
AMERICANS NEEDS TO HEAR THIS AND POLITICIANS!!
2024 This song definitely describes what’s going on in this country(United States) & World today. I love this song.
Such a beautiful song, sadly the lyrics still speak for today..
Teddy Pendagrass what an incredible voice, to hear him sing stirs a gambit of emotions. R.I.P
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.
What a voice what a tune pendergrass was pure class 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
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.
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
Teddy was just as gentle with his voice and harsh at the same time. Absolutely loved him to pieces!!
😅
I'm so sorry Ms. Patricia for (my previous emoji) what I meant to compliment on Mr. Teddy P. was his God giving strong voice yet a gentle giant!😮
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..🤗💜💜🙏🎵🎙🎶🌠
I.loved love ❤️ tko
This song is inspiring me to change careers and become a teacher.
In 1974 it was a dream of mine to have the O'Jays sing Love Train and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes sing Wake Up Everybody and the world would become a better place by showing love and care for each and everyone. It is happening today as the Almighty Elohim, blessed be His Name, is leading us to start the Love Train. It has started in Miami, Florida and will head up and across the US until it reaches Maine and Newfoundland. Come on board the train of truth, freedom, peace and love. HalleluYAH! R. Mike with love to everybody. Let's wake up and serve Him and Him alone! We need love, His love in this world that He made for each one of us! Right on brothers and sisters! Start by looking up and praising YAH, HalleluYAH!
This song is still relevant today 2023🥲🥲❤❤❤❤
Totaly agree forget away in a manger let our beautiful children sing this at school
We haven't much time to wake up. Mankind needs to learn and quickly...
Spot on
So many great singers back in the day Freddie Jackson David Ruffin , James Ingram , Luther etc…todays music can’t touch these legends…who have we got now …Ed Sheran …..really ??

One of the greatest voices of my time. RIP SIR, your legacy lives on.
Terry prendergass, what a fantastic voice.
This song is beautiful and should be a theme song for peace in this crazy world. Teddy has such a beautiful voice and gorgeous.
They might as well have called themselves ‘Teddy Pendergrass & the blue notes’
I agree
Teddy is absolutely timeless here!
Hi Beautiful Lady, your smiles makes you look more beautiful.😃, please keep on smiling😊, hope we can be friends??
In 3 years this song will be 50.
This sounds like he was singing live
R.I.P. Teddy, we love you..
Teddy would be smiling because his music is still needed today.....RIP
Or he would be sad because the message of his music is still needed today.
@@robertwilken8745 right it’s unfortunate!
@@robertwilken8745
He is a great singer, but how is it needed today, because of the message, what message?
Wake up everybody no more sleeping in bed, The world has changed so very much, with War & Poverty, The World won’t get no better if we just let it be,
This song relates to what’s going on to-day, in 2021, So sad 🌍 Teddy always knew how to put his lyric’s together so meaningful. Beautiful Voice takes me
Way back into the 70’s.😎
GOD sees all, nothing goes pass HIM, this is our wake up period!
I love you brother/sister
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!!!!
fact
He is singing live people! :)
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
dont think so
@@bettyahlheitt8812 Girlfriend I differently agree but nothing beats a failure but a try.
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
Yes indeed it has been said that the past repeats itself and I truly believe that's true💯💜
I hear you, these were real men, great examples to live by 🙏🏿.
Best Music Ever!!! Makes me so happy ... listen to 70's R&B all the damn time...
We need this wake up call God help us 🇺🇸 🙏 🙌
Hi Beautiful Lady, your smiles makes you look more beautiful.😃, please keep on smiling😊, hope we can be friends??
Heard this song this morning 4/26/23 and it rings more true today than ever.❤
This song has it all...it did then...and it does now. Such talent.

I love this song. Always have, always will. It's in the same vein as some of Marvin Gaye's work like What's Going On and Mercy Mercy Me. 💜
Hello Beth Weight.....
Music of the times
Hello Beth how are you doing and hope you're staying safe?
🙏 AMEN
YES! What's Going On is my fave song & this is a close 2nd. Mercy Mercy Me is a brilliant song too.
Still so revalent! Damn, Teddy could sing!
Teddy & Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes I will always love the group especially The Teddy Bear 🧸 Miss him Gone to Soon.❤
Smiles, hi Denise 👋
Another timeless gem by the often underrated duo of McFadden & Whitehead (+ Victor Carstarphen).
Beautiful Teddy.....most smooth voice.
Good music conveys a message. Great creates a mindset 👏🏾. This song makes us all aware. Don't give up....
Don't just let it be.
This song very heart ❤️ felt and teddy Pendergrass sings it from his heart ❤️ so sad he gone
Woke up with this song on my heart❤❤❤❤
Smiles, hi Clarissa 👋
This wake up song is still very very relevant till this day. TP R.I.P. Here in Nigeria we are still sleeping l don't when we will wake up; that is why nothing is working. Thank you for this wake up song.TP.
What a legend this man was with his beautiful vocals x
Great classical music. 2024
I see Jesus in his smile
I love this song. I remember I used to play it over and over again back in the 70’s.
I miss you Teddy...... I miss the music you could have made.
Oh, Teddy 🫂
What a beautiful world we could have been making with you as the MLK of soul music.
Day after day, summer after beautiful summer.
Gifted people need protection from themselves as much as freedom to create.
World won't get no better till we do that.
