AMG Review of Greatest Hits: Love TKO

Andy Kellman
All Music Guide

As far as Teddy Pendergrass anthologies are considered, Greatest Hits: Love TKO -- released by Master Classics in 2004 -- falls somewhere in the middle of the pack. You'd be better off with any of the discs released by The Right Stuff, but this does an OK job of gathering 18 of Pendergrass' biggest hits, including "Love T.K.O.," "Close the Door," "You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration," and "Turn Off the Lights." In order to get the proper introduction, you need at least two discs worth of songs, so keep that in mind (along with the quality of the packaging, always a good indication) when making your choice.
