"This record is a clean burn. It's the Philly sound with a bit more black gospel influence than you hear on most of the records their contemporaries released. Theodore Pendergrass (now Teddy) growls and croons with magnificent ease and great feeling. This record just knocks your socks off. "Wake Up Everybody" is so uplifting... and the absolute original version of "Don't Leave Me This Way" just cooks and slides and rumbles. What a great record. This is a true classic in its genre. I'm the Big Oh and I gotta go listen to this great record right now."
