Workin' It Back
Workin' It Back is the ninth studio album by American R&B recording artist Teddy Pendergrass. It was his second record for Asylum Records, once a longtime artist on Philadelphia International Records. The album didn't do nearly as well on the Billboard 200 as his last record, only peaking at #96, although it did reach US R&B #6, only two spots lower than his previous album. The album spawned two singles, "Love 4/2" (#6 R&B) and "Let Me Be Closer" (#67 R&B), though none made the Billboard Hot 100.
