(More customer reviews)This concert footage from February 1979 shows a rising virtuoso mastering song and audience as few have ever done. After leaving Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes in the mid-1970's, Teddy Pendergrass embarked on a stellar solo career that saw him become the first African American male to garner 5 consecutive platinum albums (remember albums?). His meteoric rise was cut short by a tragic car accident in March 1982 that left him confined to a wheelchair. Just before his accident, however, Pendergrass had so mastered his craft that he was widely being called the Black Elvis. Female fans of all races surrendered to his machismo. Midway between the beginning of his solo career and his accident, he entertains us with unbridled passion and a thoughtful show put together for the visual as as much as the music. The star is in fine voice as he sings a medley of hits from his days with Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, as well as hits form his albums. He even adds a bonus track, a soulful rendition of the hit "All By Myself." For those looking to see what soul music is all about, purchase this DVD. It is to be played over and over and over again.
