It's Time for Love is the fifth studio album by American R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass.[2] It did quite well, peaking at #19 on the Billboard albums chart and #6 on the R&B album charts. It also spawned three singles: "I Can't Live Without Your Love" (1981, peaked at #10 R&B), "You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration" (1982, #43 US, #4 R&B) and "Nine Times Out of Ten/The Gift of Love" (1982, #31 R&B). This was the last album released by Pendergrass before being paralyzed in a car accident the following year. The single "You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration" was sampled by American rapper Kendrick Lamar in 2024 for his single Euphoria.
