Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don't Know Me by Now

Loved this ! Great story. I wish Teddy was still here making music. Love his songs.

I loved it. Watched it over and over. So many gave credit to Harold Melvin for Teddy's voice and glad the truth was told. I'm sure there is much more to his story but this documentary Is a good summary of his success and struggle. I do believe God giveth and God taketh away and here is great example. Karma? To me he was the best and always will be.

I loved this movie. I can't believe I knew nothing about this incredible story before I saw the film. Its a fabulous recounting with many brilliant interviews and the words of Teddy himself as a result of years of recordings he made. It made ma laugh and cry and the music is sensational. Congratulations to the director for reminding us of this incredible talent.

Movie night with Iris. I'm a big Sound of Philadelphia fan, and Pendergrass is the real don of that clan. I learnt a lot from this documentary, but the darker side felt glossed over. Yes coming back from suicidal thoughts to perform at Live Aid is Hollywood fare. However, there's a really interesting story about getting tangled up in organised crime, where the film fears to tread.

5 stars all the way, well worth a watch. Showing two extremes of human existance.
