As one of a generation that grew up with the great soul singers - Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Smokey Robinson and more - you are a refreshing voice in a time where we need voices like yours. I look forward to your growth and music to come.

Yes! I love R&B from the 60’s and 70’s. Today’s music just has no soul. Al Green and Marvin Gaye are some of the very best ever. Teddy is definitely a throw back to those days but with a touch of modernity. For sure my favorite singer and his band is icing on the cake!

My mom loved the Lord with all her heart and died early at 51. As a small child I would see her in the kitchen doing dishes and she would be singing this old song. My how I miss her tonight. Hug your living loved ones and tell them how much you love them because when the Lord takes them home it will change you forever. I am 65 now but I still remember her singing this like it was yesterday. May this song bring you hope and comfort!

I think I almost cried listening to this. Seriously. It wasn't a cover, it was a tribute that got every nuance, emotion, and meaning of Gaye's original, but yet it wasn't a copy, but an original that is so extraordinary, I can barely describe it, but say you've got it Teddy, there ain't no manufacturing that.
