How Teddy Pendergrass uses that range
Sheer weight is the whole instrument. With a top only around Bb4, nothing depends on high notes; the drama comes from dynamics, moving from a near-whisper to a full-throated shout inside one phrase, with gravel appearing as intensity rises. Onsets are firm and vowels stay wide and dark. Going straight to the shouting skips the quiet end, where the contrast is built, and then the loud passages have nowhere left to go.
