Goodbye Teddy Pendergrass

POSTED: Thursday, January 14, 2010, 5:20 AM

Filed Under: In Memoriam | Music Philly Bands

Teddy Pendergrass was a Blue Note, a Cadillac, a Gamble & Huff collaborator, an inspired soul singer and a fighter to the end. Confined to a wheelchair after a car accident on Lincoln Drive, Pendergrass still made his way in the music biz. He just passed away at age 59, after surgery to treat colon cancer. This video is from Ashford and Simpson's set at Live Aid, Teddy's first appearance after the accident.

All I can say is, "Don't Leave Me This Way".
