Another beautiful artist gone to glory. Teddy Pendergrass has died suffering from colon cancer at the age of 59. Although Teddy Pendergrass had great songs – like Love TKO, If You Don't Know Me by Now, One Shining Moment, Turn Off the Light, and so forth, and he was a great singer – I always found that he had been confined to a wheelchair and bounced right back into the studio and kept going far more inspirational. Not many people can turn things around like that – and it takes a lot more than payday loans and some Chicken Soup book to cope with paralysis. Be at peace Teddy...absence of the body in presence of the Lord.
