Ranking: Songs from Teddy Pendergrass - TP

   Released in 1980, TP is Teddy Pendergrass' greatest album.  And famously, despite being released on Philadelphia International Records, it has no songs produced or written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff.  But expertly chosen songs from Ashford & Simpson, Peabo Bryson, Cecil Womack and others more than make up for G & H's absence.  There are two incredible duets with Stephanie Mills.  Too bad they never did a duets album together.  I've said this about many R&B albums from this era.  You won't find these types of records listed on various greatest album countdowns ever lists.  This era of R&B was and still is vastly underrated in history.  Having said many of the best albums from that era, TP as well, were critically praised when they were released.
