Love me some Teddy P.

R.I.P.

Unfortunately Lex, that is either true or a sign that you are reaching the age of maturity! LOL!

I got old bones and an old soul-- this is the music that I was in heavy rotation when I was growing up. That and I am getting old.

That was a singer's singer. :cry:

That's just the song that I wanted to post. Today a DJ showed his ignorance when his co-host asked if Teddy Pendergrass sung the song "Wake Up Everybody". The DJ said "Pendergrass had nothing to do with that song" and that "Harold Melvin" sung it. Sadly he did not know Teddy Pendergrass was a former member of the singing group "Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes" and that he sang this song and many other successful recordings for this group. He quit the group at the height of its success after his request to have the group retitled "Teddy Pendergrass & the Blue Notes" was refused.

he battled colon cancer for the last 3 yrs and i heard his son talking on the radio(here in philly) saying teddy was having a really bad/hard time with recovery.
more than a great talent(hall of fame worthy) he also was a philanthropist in regards of spinal cord injuries/recovery.

here in philly(his hometown) on sunday the r and b stations proclamied it teddy pendergrass day.
all of ya'll just raise a glass for the legend....RIP

my latest my greatest inspiration is my FAVORITE song by him.
oh yeah can't forget one of my many theme songs, "The whole world's laughin' at me"

Whenever I need to feel warm & fuzzy, even when I'm on my own, I light lots of candles, pour a glass of wine and throw Teddy's greatest hits on the stereo (vinyl is still the best way to listen that voice).

Not that it matters now or really at all but was Teddy straight ,bi. or gay? I could see him having appeal for all of the above....
