Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes의 핸섬한 리드 싱어로서 필리 소울을 대표하는 넘버인 ‘Bad Luck’, ‘The Love I Lost’, ‘I Miss You’ 같은 곡들과 더할나위 없이 아름다운 아메리칸 클래식 ‘If You Don’t Know Me By Know’를 통해 변화무쌍한 보컬실력을 발휘하였던 그의 동명 데뷔작. 본작은 그를 슈퍼스타돔으로 이끈 앨범이며 당대를 풍미했던 출중한 싱어들 위에 군림하게 끔 해 준 작품으로 평가받고 있다. 강인함과 거침, 허스키함, 연약함과 부드러움,.. 테디 펜더그라스는 그의 다재다능한 재주를 모든 트랙을 통해 보여주고 있다. 댄스 플로어 송가 ‘I Don’t Love You Anymore’나 그의 감성적인 내면을 엿볼 수 있는 ‘The Whole Town’s Laughing At Me’가 좋은 예이다. 본작으로 흑인 남성 아티스트론 처음으로 다섯개의 플래티넘 디스크를 연속적으로 획득하였다. 여러분은 새로운 리마스터 버전으로 보다 파워풀하고 정렬적인 사운드를 감상할 수 있는 좋은 기회를 목전에 두고 있다. [Teddy Pendergrass]는 진정한 Total Soul Classic이다. (디지팩)
I don't love you anymore It's just that simple No, no, no, not like before Such a shame, dirty shame
We can't work it out No, not this time We can't be together We can only be friends
You gotta respect each other You gotta reply to your lover It could never be, It could never be like it was before, You don't know what I'm talkin' about
I don't love you anymore It's just that simple No, no, no, not like before Such a shame, dirty shame
I'll take care of my responsibilities I'll send you your money Every month, you can depend on that You better believe that you can
But we can't live together This way we'll be much better
'Cause you say you never know You say you never know Where I'm comin' from You see I just got to tell ya
I don't love you anymore It's just that simple No, no, no, not like before
I just got to tell ya I don't love you anymore No, no, no, not like before I don't love you anymore No, no, no, not like before
Said I try, and I try, and I try Said I try
I tried being your man Tried doing everything that I can But we can't make it But we can't make it We just can't make it We just can't make it
Maybe someday Once we get our heads together Oh, oh, oh oh Well, we can try baby, try baby
I don't love you anymore No, no, no, not like before I don't love you anymore No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore No, no, no, not like before I don't love you anymore
Yeah, I had your love right here In the palm of my hands And I lost it and I lost it Had a love so new, one a man feel And I lost it and I lost it
Maybe if I had spent more time with you Maybe then, maybe then you'd still be mine Oh and only if I had been just a little more kind to you There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'
The whole town's laughing at me Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?
Had my dream so near I could reach out and touch it And I lost it and I lost it Had a world complete It was, oh, so sweet And I lost it and I lost it
Maybe if I had spent just a little more time with you Maybe then, maybe then you still be mine Oh and only if I had been just a little more kind to you There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'
The whole town's laughing at me Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend? Oh
Maybe if I had spent more time with you Maybe then, maybe then you still be mine Maybe I think about it And only if I had been just a little more kind to you There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'
The whole town's laughing at me Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend? The whole town's laughing at me Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend? The whole town's laughing at me Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?
