Rarely Seen Teddy Pendergrass Interview - His Music & Career In Music

#TeddyPendergrass #HaroldMelvin #BlueNotes

The late Teddy Pendergrass discusses his music and career in music during this interview recorded somewhere around 1995. His ultra-smooth personality and charm shines through as he talks about his early days with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and then his solo career. Pendergrass also talks about Marvin Gaye, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder.

Born in Philadelphia at Thomas Jefferson Hospital, Pendergrass was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He 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.
