Yesterday the R&B world lost another great singer, Teddy Pendergrass. Teddy, 59, died after a rough recovery to surgery from colon cancer, in Philadelphia.
Teddy, known for his 'For Women Only' concerts, spurned out a string of hits such as 'If You Don't Know Me By Now', 'Love T.K.O', 'Turn Off The Lights' and 'Come Go With Me (Come Over To My Place)' whilst being a member of the group, Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes, and as a solo singer.
In 1982, Pendergrass was left partially paralysed after a car crash, which didn't stop him for making music. Overall, Teddy Pendergrass produced 33 singles and received five Grammy nominations. His music made an impact within the hip hop and R&B genres in the noughties with his songs being sampled, his name being dropped in songs, and by T-Pain the rapper calling himself 'Teddy Pendergrass'.
Teddy Pendergrass will be missed.
