As London smoulders after a third night of rioting, Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes tell us how it is. Wake Up Everybody. This here is a wonderful, blissed-out, piano-disco re edit by Psychemagik - Danny and Tom. The story goes like this; in their own words, this was "...a groove we rocked one sunrise for a bit of fun, Tom dropped the piano solo in one take, the energy was flowing, we were gonna do something with it, add strings, maybe a guest vocal, then we heard Roots & John Legend were using the [...]

From redheaded golden boy of the early 80s to impetuous model-escorting boyfriend of the 90s to social change advocate of the 00s to lead singer of the Faces in the 10s, Mick Hucknall has pretty well lived the gamut of what rock stars are all about. And, without doubt he is all that is Simply Red , in face, in name and probably in court, if it ever comes to that. Holding Back The Years deserves to be on the [...]

Filed under: Twisted Tales Michael Putland, Getty Images Teddy Pendergrass was a world-class ladies' man. The soul singer, an ordained Baptist minister, was one of R&B's most popular performers throughout the 1970s, holding riotous ladies-only midnight shows. One fan reportedly shot another while fighting over a sweaty towel the singer had used. With his gruff, pleading vocals on hits such as 'If You Don't Know Me By Now' and 'Close the Door,' Pendergrass was nicknamed "Teddy Bear" and "Teddy Pender [...]

For better or worse, Simply Red is Mick Hucknall. It's been said he's a little tempestuous (but then what pop star isn't from time-to-time) but his voice is a gift and his charity work well-known. Holding Back The Years deserves to make this list simply because it was so different from what was happening at the time and it introduced Hucknall's voice to the world. SR's take on If You Don't Know Me By Now may not improve hugely on the original, but the timbre of Hucknall's [...]

After a week of new bands, it's time for some music that's been around longer than the half-gallon of buttermilk on the bottom shelf of my fridge. And after a week of covers, it's time for an overlooked original. We'll miss you, Teddy. It's OK that you left us this way, though, because this way was with a lot of excellent music.

On Saturday I had a recording session in NJ, so I decided to stop at my parent's house afterwards to say hi to my family, have dinner and play two rousing games of Scrabble. When I got home, my dad started in about how I should definitely post a song to commemorate the life and passing of Teddy Pendergrass, who died on Wednesday. He reminded me that [...]

His songs have been recorded by the Band, Joe Cocker, Ray Charles and Kris Kristofferson. Bobby Charles obituary in the Lafayette Daily Advertiser Story from [...]

Grammy-nominated singer Teddy Pendergrass died yesterday at Bryn Mawr Hospital in Pennsylvania, where he was being treated for colon cancer. He was 59. Before launching a solo career in the late 1970s, Philadelphia-based Teddy introduced the world to his smooth vocals during his stint as lead singer of Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes. The group racked Philly soul hits like the Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff-produced "The Love I Lost" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now" (watch below)—nearly inescapable staples on Oldies radio. [...]
