| Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com Teddy Pendergrass's distinctive husky voice and soul-man persona turn Christmas standards and inspired originals throughout This Christmas (I'd Rather Have Love) into a lovable Tedfest. While many similar records and their singers tend to overproduce and oversing holiday work, Pendergrass and company keep the schlocky string arrangements and excessive emoting to a minimum. They've also cranked out great holiday tunes in "Having a Christmas Party" and "Happy Kwanzaa," and devised tasty new versions of "Joy to the World" and "We Three Kings." The former gets a lilting funk treatment while the latter works as a jazzy, bluesy ballad. In his most surprising choice of covers, Pendergrass even reinvents John and Yoko's "Happy Xmas" as a romantic plaint and plea for racial harmony. --Martin Keller

TEDDY PENDERGRASS GIVES A WHOLE NEW TWIST ON CHRISTMAS MUSIC December 8, 2007 Mr. Nightshift (Los Angeles, CA) This NOT your typical bland Christmas Album....This even works during Non Christmas Season (Yes, It's just that good). How it got lost in the shuffle is another story, because this should have graced the Charts in a major way. Do yourself a favor and hunt this down QUICK! Before Christmas gets here, You know what?, you could even be an 'Office Hero' and buy a copy for the office...Who knows you might even get a bigger Christmas Bonus :)

This music IS the Christmas Spirit December 29, 1999 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This music really got me and kept me in the Christmas spirit and I am still listening to it. He is such a genius and a gift to the world. The traditional Christmas songs sound better here than anywhere else I have heard them. I wanted to buy this CD for everyone I know.
Another classic from a man who's truly blessed. October 27, 1998 johnsont@tfn.com (New York) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Teddy Pendergrass is, without a doubt, a national treasure, and "This Christmas" instantly joins the ranks of classic holiday collections to be enjoyed for years to come. I only wish he had included more spiritual (rather than secular) holiday songs, because he is--and always has been--such an impassioned vocalist when performing songs that touch on religion and spirituality. Perhaps his next album will be the collection of gospel standards that longtime fans (like me) have hoped for.
This Christmas CD is angelic and warming. October 8, 1998 Carrie Postell (guel@msn.com) (Jacksonville, Florida) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This cd is comprised of traditional Christmas songs and contemporary ones. Teddy the musical genius. I'm in the spirit of Christmas already!!
