last night I got a text from my boy, Jack Labadie, informing me that the great R&B legend Teddy Pendergrass had passed away. My early memories of childhood were filled with memories of singing his songs with my grandparents, and it makes me sad to know that this amazing and timeless voice has been silienced. In 1982 Pendergrass suffered a near fatal car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down for the remainder of his life. From that day on he dedicated his life to singing and helping those with spinal chord injuries recover any way he could. If you are unfamiliar with his music I hope you all take the time to check him out, because he is truly a legend.
