I found a great post on the life of the singer from a blog on the SF Gate website which is well worth the read if you have the time, here's a little snippet of it and one of the youtube's of the 59 yr old singer's illustrious and groundbreaking career that nearly came to a fatal end in 1982.
"On March 18, 1982, in Philadelphia, Teddy Pendergrass' Silver Spirit
Rolls- Royce reportedly ran into a guardrail and into a bank of trees,
leaving the singer partially paralyzed, angry and bitter...."
City Brights: Zennie Abraham : "One of the most popular R&B singers of our time, Teddy Pendergrass is dead at 59 from colon cancer. EOnline explains that, Teddy Pendergrass - who's voice has been favorably compared to that of the late Barry White and called 'Teddy Bear' - had what his son Teddy, Jr. described as a rough recovery from surgery for colon cancer eight months ago. The music legend and signpost of the Zeitgeist died Wednesday at Bryn Mawr Hospital in Philadelphia, his home town." continued
