Album Notes & Community Reviews

With production handled by the legendary duo Gamble and Huff, this record firmly established the lush, sweeping template of Philly Soul. The album prominently features the devastatingly emotive lead vocals of a young Teddy Pendergrass, backed by immaculate orchestral arrangements and tight vocal harmonies. The heartbreaking hit 'If You Don't Know Me by Now' propelled the group to international stardom and defined 70s quiet storm R&B.
