Teddy Pendergrass | Love TKO (Change Request ReVision)
For this ReVision, I took some artistic freedom to redo one of my all-time favs from Mr. Teddy Pendergrass. This song was written by Cecil Womack & Gip Noble, Jr. for singer David Oliver appearing first on his album Here's To You in 1980, then being recorded by Teddy P for his fourth album the same year, TP.
Reaching Number 2 on the Billboard R&B Chart, this album from the mighty Teddy Pendergrass was the only album he recorded for Philadelphia International Records without any input from label founders Gamble and Huff.
“Love T.K.O.” has been covered by several artists including Deborah Harry, Regina Belle, Hall & Oates, Bette Midler, Boz Scaggs, Lambchop, Michael McDonald, Seal, and Modern Man. The original writer Cecil recorded it with Linda Womack, as Womack & Womack, appearing as "T.K.O." on their debut album Love Wars in 1983.
Using a mixture of Roland, Oberheim, Moog, and Fender instruments, I remade this song for the modern era with a touch of WNUA love.
