Theodore DeReese Pendergrass (March 26, 1950 – January 13, 2010) was an American singer. Born in Kingstree, South Carolina, Pendergrass spent most of his life in the Philadelphia area, and initially rose to musical fame as the lead singer of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. After leaving the group in 1976, Pendergrass launched a successful solo career under the Philadelphia International label, releasing five consecutive platinum albums (a record at the time for an African-American R&B artist). Pendergrass's career was suspended after a March 1982 car crash left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. Pendergrass continued his successful solo career until announcing his retirement in 2007. Pendergrass died from respiratory failure in January 2010.

I`m indeed saddened by teddy`s death. I loved the guy to bits. All the way from Malawi I still have almost every Cd of TP. Just last week before I learned about his death, I was chatting with a male friend (George) from Zim who resembles TP so match. As were chatting I pulled out a TP`s CD with his picture on and asked a friend who the guy in picture looked like and in unison every one shouted George looks like Teddy! Throughout the week I pull out all TP`s and have been listening to them. I will always love you Teddy.

Taaz only had one child that was raised by Taaz mother Eva Ritter. Teddy said he would take care of him ( The son ) but he never did. He ( Teddy ) only returned to the home one more time after her murder.

We have lost another legend. When I remember TP I can recall two memories that come to mind. I attended a Christening reception at his estate for Tamon. I can recall him meeting with all his guests how he expressed the importance of everyone feeling at home, but please no picture taking. He was a very private person and asked that everyone show respect. I can also remember going to my first concert to see TP with my best friend SR. We were young and had on our mothers fur stoles we couldnt been more than 16, but thought we were in love with TP. He made girls, ladies feel like queens. Love you TP.
