Teddy Pendergrass – Life Is A Song Worth Singing

Released in 1978 on Philadelphia International Records, Life Is A Song Worth Singing is one of Teddy Pendergrass’ defining solo albums.

Produced by the legendary Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff, this record delivers the full Philly Soul sound — lush orchestration, driving rhythm sections, and Pendergrass’ unmistakable deep, commanding vocals.

Highlights include:

• “Close The Door” – a quiet storm classic and one of his signature slow jams
• “Only You”
• “Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose”
• “Life Is A Song Worth Singing”

This album showcases the transition from the disco-leaning late 70s into the smooth, romantic R&B sound that defined early 80s radio.

A cornerstone record for collectors of Philadelphia soul, 70s R&B, and classic Teddy Pendergrass.
