Teddy Pendergrass - "Joy"

Anyone else like this album?

I`m obsessed with the song "2 A.M", one of the best songs he recorded after leaving PIR.

music "Love Is The Power","Can We Be Lovers" and the title track make this a superb late-80s R&B album.

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

"Can be lovers" is nice, but they were kinda boring to me, especially compared to "2 A.M." worship

I was a little disappointed in his 1984 album "Love language", too many boring cover songs...

That was his first album after the car accident.

I thought it was an okay album at the time. Don't remember it much now but recall being saddened at how weak or small his voice sounded in comparison to his work prior.

Yeah, you could definitely hear that the voice was different, but he was very clever in choosing material that brought out the qualities in his voice.

U have 2 get Joy. It is (imo) his best album of the 80s.

I, 2, have been listening 2 his self-titled album a lot. "I Don't Love You Anymore" and "The Whole Town's Laughing At Me" are my favorites.
