January 15th, 2010
This week saw the sad news that soul legend Teddy Pendergrass passed away. After first rising to fame with Howard Melvin and The Blue Notes, Teddy went on to score seminal solo hits on the soul and disco scene and became one of the leading exponents of the Philadelphia soul sound. Boasting one of the most emotive and passionate voices of his generation, tracks such as ‘Love TKO’, ‘If You Don’t Know Me By Now’ and ‘You Can’t Hide From Yourself’ remain amongst the finest soul tracks ever recorded. Despite being badly injured in a car crash in the early ’80′s, Teddy continued to be heavily involved in charity work raising money for those who had experienced spinal injuries. Here’s saluting a genuine musical icon and a true gentleman.
