As you all know the world of soul lost another one of it's giants last night. Teddy Pendergrass sadly passed away in his home town of Philadelphia at the age of 59. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Pendergrass family. Thank you Teddy for all of the performances, the music and the memories. Your distinctive voice will be missed my all.





The King of Seduction!

The video King of Seduction! was really great and I had never seen him with the hair like that before. The album with him wearing the red suit is one of my favorite albums (Turn off the Lights ). I cried when I heard the announcement over the radio yesterday and most local stations played his music which made those memories even more special.

Hello Josie46 and welcome to the forums. Teddy was such a big figure in the world of soul music and his loss has left us all with the same feelings of sadness. We did a 2 and a half hour tribute last night that brought back so many sweet memories for me. It was moving to say the least.

That video is from the early 70's. Teddy was very young at the time. I believe he had just joined the Blue Notes. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Looking forward to hearing from you again.
