When it comes to R&B, it doesn't get much more classic than Teddy Pendergrass. From his early work with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes to his massively successful solo career, his gruff baritone was arguably as integral a part of the Philly Sound as the music of MFSB or the songwriting and arrangements of Gamble and Huff. To put it another way, if you have a problem with Teddy, you have a problem with disco.
With that said, any disco nerd will probably dig this edit my friend and fellow Triple Dip resident JeffET (aka Jeff Turner) recently made of one of my favorite Teddy jams, "Take Me In Your Arms Tonight" off of his 1980 album TP. Jeff's done a bang-up job here, leaving the meat of the song intact while extending the best parts and adding just a little bit of tropical percussion to give the whole thing a slightly balearic feel.
Jeff's been kind enough to offer up a high quality mp3 of this edit for exclusive download right here on Disco Studies. It's our first exclusive ever, in fact, and it'll only be up for a limited time, so grab it while it lasts! Just click the bearhug pic above to download.
