Teddy's voice (pre-accident) had what I believe a co-worker/friend would describe as "depth." He had a big range (bottom note to top), dynamics (pianissimo to mucho blastisimo - mind you, while the former is an actual musical term, the latter is not), and just so many colors and textures as he utilized the full capacity of that extraodinary voice he had. I typically prefer him singing more softly, because I love the resonance/richness that I hear in his voice then. But I can understand that there are those who think he's at his best at the "mucho blastisimo" level, when his voice is gritty and raw. But that he could have that level of "range" (not referring to how many octaves he could sing) and how he utilized that in the way he delivered a song is truly extraordinary.

Teddy had the star quality in every sense. The man had a voice like pure silk, husky, soulful and he emoted every word of the songs he gifted us with and was born to sing. Teddy was one of the best male vocalists to have lived! He was delectable too and he had women of all ages swooning and still does. It was sad he passed away at only 59 and the year he performed this in 1982 he had his car accident.

Teddy could truly sing. His God given talent was real and not created in a studio. The emotion and clarity he brought to his performances was special. A lot of the singers today can barely pronounce the words in their songs! I miss the days when songs spoke about the love, hope and inspiration women want to give their man. Unfortunately today songs are written to denigrate and destroy the heart of women. Words matter! It's taken a terrible toll on our culture. Frankly, I think the world is sick of it and with the current climate we are in, it's time for a change. The next handsome, innately talented male singer who figures this out and goes back to singing songs of inspiration and praise of women will be the next superstar.

I've been asking Him to inspire me, and I never really listened to T.P. Oh, i knew his songs when I heard it, and I recognize his voice. But this is not how I heard this song this morning. But I heard the lyrics and melody. I can not explain what I heard... but it was this song. So, I listened to it Word for word. How can it not be about God? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
