Teddy Pendergrass passed away yesterday at 59. From his days with Harold Melvin and the Blue-Notes to his dope solo albums in the 70's and 80's, Teddy always brought a smooth sophistication to his brand of R&B. In the vein of Marvin Gaye his music was intelligent without being cliche, sensual without being corny and above all always fresh. Dude played a pivotal role in the conception of a generation. Today's R&B cats could really benefit from re-visiting the collected works of Mr. Pendergrass. Rest in Peace and much respect due...
