Teddy was and still is the man. No one around today can fill his shoes or even come close. He is the last of his kind a true Legend.

Some of y'all tripping. TP never lost his looks. He remained strikingly handsome until his passing. #Blackdontcrack

His voice was like velvet and his spirit was even bigger than his voice,I bet hes singing with Gods angels.RIP Teddy.

He is exceptionally, bright, wise and high spirited. His spirit is eternal.

Gosh, I miss Teddy Pendergrass. He will never be forgotten.

Oh Teddy, as handsome as ever and so articulate. You fought a good fight and finished your course..... RIP my dear.

Definitely one of my favorite singers. His music is timeless and his voice is unmatched. After his accident, it was a wonder that Teddy was able to talk, let alone, sing! It just shows the vocal strength that this man has. To a wonderful singer....Mr. Teddy Pendergrass

The accident happen a few days before his birthday in 1982. Wow, to live trough that, you must be a strong person. Him & Christopher Reeves are definitely strong to live for so many years to live with their spinal condition. R.I.P. Teddy!!

He certainly aged gracefully.

I just love Teddy so much. His spirit and soul are eternal.

RIP Teddy…there will NEVER be another!

It's was so sad to see two vibrant, active, bright and talented individuals, like Teddy P and Chris Reeve, have to have faced the kind of tragedies that changed their life dramatically, from that point on...I admire the fact, that, Teddy was a realist and wanted to focus on how he could live life to his fullest, in spite of his then condition...It's interesting how, in the blink of an eye, life can change from triumph to tragedy...Teddy's sweet, soulful and seductive songs will live on forever!

Can you imagine, this talented man was just a young bloke when he was celebrated as such a gifted singer and performer, he was under 30 years of age! And despite his young years, his artistry was highly developed and matured. What amazing man Teddy Pendergrass was. His spirit and soul are eternal.

R.I.P. forever for one of the greatest voices i have ever heard...

An excellent interview! He's doing the right thing by support and trying to get people to understand that spinal injuries have no cure but there is a need to know about research. Thanks for posting!

He looks GREAT!!!!!!

this man was Godsend,seriously!i just loved the way he could made women felt special and loved

Teddy's vocals was ground breaking Simply the best.

Wo, he looks gorgeous and is an inspiration for living n the now. You go Teddy!

Would you look at his skin, it's flawless!

He looked so good!

it makes me sad watching this coz even though i wasnt there in his time i feel his music and i know he's a legend.

Much respect for you Teddy.... You will be missed.

Teddy is my all time favorite. I have his albums, and to this day I never get tired Rip Teddy loved you then and now

We love you and miss you bro...r.ip

Teddy still looked good....

Don't be sad, from his words, it appears he has a VERY rich life. there's probably a lot we can learn from his words an experience. I thank Teddy for all his great work through the years..

wow its great to see the great teddy pendergrass doing well, very positive and still an inspiration. peace and love bless.

another great one, RIP the music and his voice lives on forever.....

Wow! His outlook is Wonderful. Reminds me to be more grateful,,,,thank u Teddy Bear, always giving.

1:44 is scary as hell. That could be any of us. Except he was in a Rolls-Royce and on top of the world. Would you handle it with that level of grace?

R.I.P. Teddy Pendergrass. Even though I didn't know your music well or never really was a fan and was born in the 90s, I still respect you because I've heard of you a lot and you are one of the legends and it's always sad when a legend dies.

he really looks good at that age.

Interesting interview, esp. Pendergrass's clear distantiation from the Christopher Reeves position on disability activism. As Pendergrass puts it here: ‘I don’t want to foster [an expectation of] cure, I don’t think that’s a real thing to foster, for me I’d rather foster, emphasise, quality of life, I think that’s more important’.

God Bless him. I still love his music. Such a courageous soul, he's singin' in heaven. I enjoyed the Teddy Pendergrass Doc on Showtime

Nothing like him. Never will be.!! Never will be musically and a Giant of a character!! Miss you Teddy bear!! You are what we need in this world!! True Grit and Loving heart for his public!!

Smart man who had a lot of talent in many areas. A realist and a survivor.

A very gifted and talented brother one of my favorites songs somebody told me!

God bless Teddy! God has truly brought him through so much. I read his autobio and I was truly blessed by his life story.

Not only is TEDDY a timeless class act, the interviewer did a superb job 👏🏽 Well done.

i love u king thank u for great music. some people should not talk why so much hate for the man get lost fools miss u xxx

Looks and brilliance.

I enjoyed watching and listening to the interview .

Thank you Teddy! Thank you for your voice and soul that you have shown and dedicated in their music in Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes and his solo career. Rest in Peace Teddy!

Seems like he was at peace in this interview. Wonderful voice, saw him once with Harold Melvin. RIP, Teddy .

Rest in peace you angel with your angelic voice.

Miss ya Teddy..RIP

what an inspiration..makes me feel so humble xxx

WOW...so inspiring. Man, I was almost when the accident happened, but I had known who Teddy was since I was about 4. Seeing these platinum records made me think of those days when you bought an album with the yellow label and pink "PD", you KNEW it was good music.

I think Teddy was the best looking black guy I have ever seen!! No offence meant by " the black guy "bit he had such a beautiful smile...RIP Teddy....

I"m wondering when this was aired/ Teddy looks good! I'm lovin' the look.

It's great to hear even up to his death he was giving back to the community. Rest In Peace Teddy Pendergrass

Great inspirational career and life - Your music will be played forever Teddy I know you're hanging with MJ, James Brown and Luther RIP peace brada

wow...at 4:00 he says something Powerfull! God Bless Him!!

Stay blessed Teddy! Ur an incredible human being!

Yeah he was fine and sexy can you imagine being in a room with this man and he starts to sing to you i would lose my mind I'd be all over Teddy Miss You Teddy

i still love me some Teddy Pengrass

Ole Art Fennell Country Style I came across this video and I never knew you use to do reporting Wow! Good stuff

Teddy Pendergrass is the Greatest. Not just for his music, but all the background story. Somebody should've made a movie. I see it as a cautionary tale about hubris and redemption.

Who ever it was that posted this interview of "Teddy". Thank u and god bless u!! As a g8 fan! Its so good to hear how he is doing, and looking so fine!!May the Lord keep on blessing you!! "We love u Teddy!!! xx

Hes looking great. Its good to see that he moved on for the better. He seemed very depressed and bitter in the VH1 behind the music interview.

Just like an Aries ♈️ such a Realist love it

RIP...UR MUSIC LIVES ON

Congrats to this interviewer 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great questions great insight much respect lowering himself not to look down upon Teddy P🔥. Ohh Teddy was still the 💩🤩🖤

man what a cool smooth brother ,,,gonna miss him,,but you know his music is alive and well ,,,miss ya brother

RIP.. U WILL BE MISSED TEDDY!!

Wow....Teddy looks wonderful. I'm glad he seems to be doing well, and thanks for posting this video. AAAA+++

Damn.. I have great respect for this true brother.

I love you Teddy. I will miss you. J.

Great video. I'm sharing it with my friends on Facebook. R.I.P. Teddy Bear

amen !! love you teddy P. agreed !!!! much love and music

Admirable

It's hard for people who once had the ability to walk normally to accept the fact that their injury is a permanent one, to the point where they can NEVER walk again! Everyone handles it differently. One can't fault the late Christopher Reeve for trying to find ways to make that possible again. But I think Teddy is taking a better approach. Spinal cord injury survivors need help NOW to live better, productive lives in spite of their disability!

I envy you your experiences. And I agree with your sentiments. RESPECT.

what a nice guy; miss him

And with his stripes, we are healed. Isaiah 53:5, KJV. Accept the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Savior and receive his healing. You shall get it in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Rip Teddy 😢💔 🙏 love your misic

R.I.P Teddy.

Love him such a talent ❤❤❤

A God given gift and talent ♥️

What a gifted soulful singer. He sounds like he's a baritone with a tenor range. Or is he a tenor with baritone qualities?

teddy bear and luther.........the best voices,and music.......luther rip....

Country style baby

What Is that song

Read his autobiography "Truly Blessed", that book on Teddys life and the tragic event b4 and after the accident clears up all the ridiculous accusations. The answer to your question is in his book. Its a shame you had to use this site to view a question to an event that happened so long ago in his life. This site should be about people who are making their views on the artists musical talent and capabilities. And trust me without a shred of doubt Teddy Pendergrass has this in abundance.

what year was this interview?

My brother R.I.P

hey mr p.....remember in new orleans at the saengar theatre? 1979 was the yr. shortly after......you had the accident.

RIP TEDDY

TP was an Aries the ram

Beautiful fish tank

It's sad...out of all of the things you could've said about this legend - that's what you took the time to post. Sad, really sad.

Yo Ted. 58 and Ceedar says Hi

Okay, your point is? Obviously, I thought I placed the "d." Would you like to comment on the substance of my statement?

Well, in the the interview, Teddy talks about that awful incident that cause his spinal cord injury. Since the subject was raise by Teddy and the interviewer, I think that it is appropriate to ask about the other person that was in the car when that infamous accident occurred. I was not asking the question in the negative nor was I calling his musical talent and capabilities into question. I was simply asking a question about a well-known event. Excuse me if I offended you.

You don't recover, it's for life.

TP

Hi Art, I have posted both of Your Videos with Teddy on SoulfulPlanet Tribute Thread; Topic: "SAD & HEARTBREAKING NEWS.... Teddy Pendergrass" Thank You, Gene Gene_Leone-Mix

I wonder whether he will discuss the drag queen that was in the car when he had the accident.
