The great Teddy Pendergrass passed away last night. My favorite work from Pendergrass was when he sang for Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Here is "The Love I Lost" from 1973.

And here is Teddy in 1979 (Teddy was paralyzed from the waist down in an auto accident in 1982) solo doing "Close the Door"

He was a great one. Rest in peace.

    He did a very nice duet with Whitney Houston on her first album.

    Love his music, have one of his CDs in my car (5.00 / 1) (#4)

    player rotation.  Such a smooth, beautiful and sexy voice.  I'm so sorry it has been silenced.  RIP, Teddy.  Thanks for all the wonderful music.
