Teddy Pendergrass R.I.P.

#1

Post by strad »

One of the most popular R&B singers of our time, Teddy Pendergrass is dead at 59 from colon cancer. EOnline explains that, Teddy Pendergrass - who's voice has been favorably compared to that of the late Barry White and called "Teddy Bear" - had what his son Teddy, Jr. described as a rough recovery from surgery for colon cancer eight months ago. The music legend and signpost of the Zeitgeist died Wednesday at Bryn Mawr Hospital in Philadelphia, his home town.
If a man can't look at danger and still go on, man has stopped living. If the worst ever happens – then it means simply that I've been asked to pay the bill for the happiness of my life – without a moment's regret. Graham Hill

Fine voice he had. Always thought this was soul music rather than R&B. To me, R&B is early Yardbirds and Stones, maybe 'Mac, and John Mayall and such.

Very sad news. I loved his vocals with Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes.
