true song!!

We remain a work in progress. It's very important the next generation understands their obligation to the process....Neil Titus

I pray and hope it does.

Needs to happen now.

When black people put down the guns and reach for each other instead of violence - it's time to stop the hate and it has to begin with someone and as the great Martin Luther Jr stated -"I long for the day when a man (person) is judged by the quality of his character not by the color of his skin" - it's time!

Right on bro!❤

Paying constantly, that the people of the world and this 🌎 changes soon. This is so sad, GREED, AND SELFISH ,HATRED, AND POLITICS, AND PEOPLE, ARE TRULY DOING THE MOST, to ALLOW this mess to continue from 40 years plus to continue.

True Indeed. Relevant till this day timeless Classic😎👊🏽💯

Amen to that🇺🇸

There are mass shooting every single day in Philly, Chicago, La, New Orleans….. every single day. Yet for some reason people want to point to school shootings as if that happens every day and not once or twice a year by a kid who’s had psych meds shoved down their throats. Are the people being killed on the streets less valuable than others?

I love it sill remain words

I am actually crying right now. Wow. I am 70 YO and have always loved this song. God bless this 🌐 world.

I can't bear the pain sometimes, but I have to keep on pushing, it feels like weights Wearing me down.

Crying is good but praying is better in Jesus Holy Perfect Name amen

With you. Sad how much has changed for the worse

Good and fox bless you ✝️💪❤️

YES, YES HE DID INDEED. 💜

Amen

@@niccosanchez824 q

Yes very relevant !!

If I was running for public office i o would have his song playing and roll it out as a start to heal our world !!

I Always thought this was Marvin Gaye

TEDDY PENDERGRASS DID NOT WAKE UP EVERYBODY,. RECORD PRODUCERS JOHN WHITEHEAD AND GENE MCFADDEN WROTE WAKE UP EVERYBODY. BUT TEDDY PENDERGRASS DELIVERED POWEFUL LYCRICS . TEDDY PUT THE SONG ON THE MAP. WE LOVE YOU TEDDY PENDERGRASS..

TEDDY PENFERGRASS DID NOT WRITE WAKE UP EVERYBODY. JOHN WHITEHEAD AND GENE MCFADDEN WROTE THE SONG. BUT OF COURSE TEDDY PENDERGRASS SANG THE SONG TO THE 99TH POWER. TEDDY PENDERGRASS PUT THE SONG ON THE MAP... WITH TRUTH AND POWER.. WE LOVE YOU TEDDY PENDERGRASS......

Well, in all fairness, Pendergrass simply sang what he was given by the song's producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. The song was written by the team of Gene McFadden, John Whitehead (who, as a singing duo had a big hit with the anthemic "Ain't No Stopping Us Now") and Victor Carstarphen.

@@stannote8312 Thank you for giving credit to the writers.

@@better-dayz-r-ahead And thank YOU for knowing the difference. Anytime I write about music and artists, where applicable and given the chance, I always credit the writers and producers. All this great music is being traded, shared and sold online with nothing more than the name of the artists or group--NO mention at all of the songwriters, producers, arrangers, musicians, etc, who created the song in the first place. Without the song you've got nothing. It's a supreme injustice and a damn shame.

@@stannote8312 Agreed💯 Thom Bell is another acclaimed songwriter from the Philly Soul era he wrote and produced a lot of songs for The Delfonics and The Stylistics. Can’t forget about Bobby Eli and Vinnie Barrett they wrote much of Blue Magic’s early work. Also have to mention Norman Harris, Linda Creed, Dexter Wansel and a whole host of others that were part of the movement that was going on in the 70’s in the City of Brotherly Love.

@@better-dayz-r-ahead Hell yes, to all of those giants, sir. Thom Bell is a beast. Bell can walk into a studio where an orchestra is playing and pick the one viola out of tune. He insisted on writing EVERY part you hear on a Thom Bell production, no matter how subtle the guitar ad-lib or position of cymbal crash. When he'd visit labels to have meetings, execs would take one look at Linda Creed and say, "You can leave your [white] girlfriend in the lobby." Bell would angrily make clear that Creed wasn't his girlfriend but his songwriting partner and tell them if she's not in the meeting, there won't be one.

Yes! Right. Now.

Exactly!!

Definitely especially right now

THIS SONG IS TELLING US ALL WHAT WE NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW 2024 WE ALL NEED TO PRAY IN FAITH BELIEVING THAT GOD WILL FORGIVE THIS NATION AND ALL THE NATION S AND CONFESS OUR SINS AND REPENT AND ASK JESUS TO BE OUR LORD AND SAVIOR AMEN

. . . and thumbs up to songwriters John Whitehead, Gene McFadden, and Victor Carstarphen.

Amen 🙏🏽

My feeling and Tears Too!! What a Beautiful Song🤩🥰😥😃

So true, then and now still!

This song also makes me cry especially the way America & the world is now corrupt & morally bankrupt.

You doing Jah works family, spread the love
