Angie Stone & Teddy Pendergrass Catch Us Off Guard With A 'Love TKO'


Teddy-Pendergrass-Angie-Stone

One of the most iconic slow jams ever just got a modern day update from soul songstress Angie Stone. The first single to leak from an upcoming tribute album to Teddy PendergrassDuets – Love & Soul, is the beloved "Love TKO." Bringing the classic track into 2015, Stone sings alongside the late crooner, but something is a bit off with both of their vocals in the mix, and this take doesn't match up with the smoothness of the original. With Angie's deep, velvety voice and Teddy's vintage vocals, this had strong potential to work as a duet, but it unfortunately falls a little flat. The producers may have wanted to let this one go.

The collection also features collaborations with soulful legends like Martha Reeves, Shuggie Otis, The Stylistics, Jody Watley and Tom Scott and even reggae great Maxi Priest. The tribute album is set for release on August 21st but until then you can see who else makes an appearance on Duets – Love & Soul with a glance at the album's tracklist below.
