I agree. This kind of r&b was the best. Times have changed and that doesn’t necessarily mean we have to like the new music. We can still listen to these jams that are far superior to what’s out today. But yeah this kind of r&b is on the top of my list.
Gamble & Huff, who came before Babyface & LA Reid, they were the hit makers of that era, on any hit you could see their names. If you have not done Billy Paul yet; “Me & Mrs Jones” another great hits of these songwriters and this track is based on a real story.
Trying to give that feeling when music meant something to us. It gave us that chance to connect and share no matter where you are from. The music made us better people. Regardless of race religion creed or political view .
WOW Jack, you are so wise & mature & I appreciate what you said so much. What you've shown over the years prove that you are not only a great reactor but a great person. And I am honored to support you.
Teddy Pendergrass- The Whole Towns Laughing At Me, Turn Off The Lights, Can We Try, It Don’t Hurt Now, Lady (Live), Close The Door All Fire classics to react to 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Teddy Pendergrass.....a LEGEND! Sitting on my back porch now looking out into the Chesapeake Bay. Such a great request and this reaction Jack is a peoples reaction. If that makes sense. Dana thank you! Jack thank you. Stay blessed everyone
Teddy had a lock on R&B in the late 70s-early 80s, one album after the next with hits. They're all great albums, too. This song is from the 1979 Teddy album, which also featured "Turn off the Lights." My fav album is Life is a Song Worth Singing from 1978 -- "It Don't Hurt Now", "When Somebody Loves You Back", "Close the Door," "Only You." You can go through all of those early albums and play them front to back without skipping.
Wow that brought back a lot of good memories!! Nobody could do it like Teddy Bear!! 🔥 🔥 👏 👏 not only was he a great singer but he was sexy sexy. Attended many of his concerts and believe me women where trying to climb stage to get to him!! ♥ I'm sure you would love all of his songs!!
I think you’d love Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes (the group Teddy was in before he started his singles career) song I Miss You. Teddy doing the lead and doing vocals while the talking is going on in the background is ridiculous.
You are spot on about the message of the music being very different from the songs of the past Jack. The song, “Reunited “ is case in point. Great reaction to a great song by Teddy! 🔥🔥🔥
Did you know the woman talking on this is the wonderful Ms Whitney Huston , her participation in this song stopped her from being new artist of the year when she came out with her own album. 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@sparklingwater8022 I listened to and isolated the woman's voice. It's definitely her. Before the deeper raspiness came in due to smoking and whatnot.
Hi Jack! Just wanted to say that you are by farrrrrr my favorite reaction channel! Me and you are both alike with the same music! You instantly know if you’re going to like a song when it first comes on. There’s not too many people doing what you’re doing right now as far as this music thing. Very good ear for music! Music is universal. It’s what brings us together and how we all connect. If we didn’t have music just thing how blah the world would be. I would love to hang out somewhere in a club with you sipping on drinks and just vining out to some good music. 🤗 please continue to make your content and I’ll definitely be here. I miss the car videos too 😉❤️ Thank you 🙏🏼
Agreed 100%. Sadly, Jack is one of the *FEW* reactors who concentrates heavily on R&B. I don’t knock ppl’s hustle and want them to all to get their bag but some of them look tired/miserable reacting to a lot of songs they can’t even connect with on a basic level.
Great reaction Jack 👏🏽. If you’re a fan of symphony instrumentation, you have to go down the Barry White a.k.a. The Maestro rabbit hole. It’s Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me, Let The Music Play, Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love Babe, Love’s Theme, Just The Way You Are, Playing Your Game are just a few you should listen to 🔥🔥🔥
Regarding the message of the song, Teddy was showing how to finesse a woman to go back to his place. Probably to get to know her but lets keep it real, Teddy was trying to get some lovemaking in. Back in those days, it was nothing to go over to a guy's house & chill, today that would get you killed. The difference of the times are like night & day.
I wouldn’t have had to think about it I would already have my coat on the handsome gorgeous mr Theodore de Reese pendergrass who could say no to this man
That’s called a Flugelhorn , looks like a big trumpet… it’s really rare and pleasing to hear a young man like yourself paying homage and respect to the old school/real music. Keep up the good work and maybe you’ll effect some of your generation too put down those guns and pick up some buns and have some fun with this kind of music.
Much respect to Teddy P. Because I feel like without him, there would be no Usher, no Tyrese, etc... As a younger Millennial (and I may be in the minority here) but Christopher Williams tore this song up when he did his rendition at MTV Unplugged! I'll have to watch some performances of Teddy performing this in his prime to compare. Because Chris's version is so fire to me. I always associate this with that performance. Love what you said at the end though Jack, because today's "love" songs are terrible. But it's a reflection of where our society is.
I like Christopher Williams (saw him open for Stephanie Mills in the 90’s and his voice was just like the record/CD). That said, the singer that reminded me of TP vocally came later. Jaheim. No worries if y’all disagree.✌🏽

I wish this kind of R&B was still around. So smooth and just plain beautiful to listen to. We don’t really get this anymore.
Me too
💯
The times have changed. 📱📱📱
Same♡

For the full Teddy treatment, “Come Go with Me”, “Close the Door”, and “ Turn Off the Lights” because it’s gonna be a “Love TKO”.
You gotta fit. You're my latest,My greatest inspiration and, Feel the fire in there somewhere.
Perfection!
The LEGENDARY Iconic Mr THEODORE PENDERGRASS aka the voice
Produced by Gamble and Huff. They were that duo before Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and LA. Reid & Babyface showed up. They were the SOUND OF PHILADELPHIA.
Facts . Nothing but facts
You forgot Thom Bell and Macfadden and Whitehead.
@elident7828 AGREE. ALSO LINDA CREED and Dexter Wansel and Bunny Sigler
Gamble & Huff, who came before Babyface & LA Reid, they were the hit makers of that era, on any hit you could see their names. If you have not done Billy Paul yet; “Me & Mrs Jones” another great hits of these songwriters and this track is based on a real story.
The dialogue at the end is awesome!🌹
Preach it, Jack! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you Dana for the request!!!
Between Dana, CRobb and Demetria, this channel is being nicely curated for the fans of these genres. 👏🏾

Love TKO, When Somebody Loves You Back, I Miss You, If You Don't Know Me By Now, Wake Up Everybody
Get up, get down, get funky, get loose.
Latest, greatest inspiration is my wedding song

Never cease to inspire Mr Jack. You've a good heart. Stay gold 🔥
TH-cam has his entire Hammersmith concert 1982. Right before his accident. #StellarTeddyBear

Great commentary about modern relationships and music. Old school R&B music is so candid and had a lot of great storytelling.
This is nice ..my mom use to listen to Teddy's music when I was a kid
Dana be coming through with the jams. I love this song, really all things Teddy. Great, great request. Classic.
WOW!!!! You did your favorite vocalist. He’s amazing!
I think you’d love Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes (the group Teddy was in before he started his singles career) song I Miss You. Teddy doing the lead and doing vocals while the talking is going on in the background is ridiculous.
OH this sounds really beautiful love his voice so smooth 🔥🔥🔥🔥 too great reaction y'all are doing well with these songs much love ❤❤❤
I'm 61. This Listener's No Fool. He Nailed It.
My favorite from Mr. Pendergrass is I Don't Love You Anymore. I crack up at the lyrics. He made it clear that he was through. 😂
You PLAYIN!🤯🤯 “Teddy P”Baby!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The instrumentation is awesome. The violins!!!
Haven't heard this song- Beautiful song 💕😍🎶
I love Teddy Pendergrass. Al Green is also one of the greats
My favorite old school song! ❤️
Whew. Jack, I’ve been binging your videos all evening. This was it
This is why Philly Soul is classic and I am from Detroit
The Teddy Bear and his all-women concerts!
You are spot on about the message of the music being very different from the songs of the past Jack. The song, “Reunited “ is case in point. Great reaction to a great song by Teddy! 🔥🔥🔥
TP OMG!!!!! What Else Is There To Say!!!!!
❤❤❤
Did you know the woman talking on this is the wonderful Ms Whitney Huston , her participation in this song stopped her from being new artist of the year when she came out with her own album. 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. Had no idea
Never heard any parts of this story, gonna look it up.
@@sparklingwater8022 I listened to and isolated the woman's voice. It's definitely her. Before the deeper raspiness came in due to smoking and whatnot.

Smooth song here Jack💜✅🔥🔥🔥🔥They’ll never be another Luther for real✅😊

It got you killed back then, women were disappeared like crazy.
You need to watch his live version of this.
I wouldn’t have had to think about it I would already have my coat on the handsome gorgeous mr Theodore de Reese pendergrass who could say no to this man
Goat right here

When soul was SEXY

Hey there young Brother I have a suggestion for you Teddy's live version of lady
