Even though he went through a Car accident he didn’t let that stop his life . He is an inspiration I freakin cried when he sang Love TKO he didn’t get bitter, resentful, or angry . He was so brave Teddy opened my eyes. Continuously breaking down Barriers and glass cielings. God Bless you Teddy Pendergrass!!!
He is awesome the power and presence in his voice is still there
Agree totally
😂......im crying too. So beautiful😅
One of greatest male singers of all time
Nat king cole?
Nat king Cole was great too ❤
@@sheinFL TEDDY was the 1st black man to have 5 back to back platinum albums and he did it in the 70s
He was THE greatest ( in my opinion 😬💯❤️)
But he was a deadbeat father who didn't leave a dollar for none of his 3 bio kids,nor for his 1st wife Karen who truly loved him and accepted his 3 children and went through all that bullshit with him,which proves that he didnt care about no1 else other than his pathetic ass,he was talented, but i cannot support a man who moved fucked up like teddy,i liked him as a human being ,but hated his persona/ways.He was a handsome black man on the outside,but on the inside he was ugly.All those "accidents" and mishaps that followed him i suspect was God's way of trying to get teddy to humble himself and rethink his actions and life and to do right by his children & Karen b4 it became too late for him,but i guess he just didnt care.No wonder the Black community is so broken and messed up etc.because of some stupid women and men like him.SMH😰
*Damn to be in a wheel chair and paralyzed still doing what you love...he was a powerful man..so inspiring*
123CREATIONS-If you get a chance buy a copy of his book called "Truly Blessed" you can buy it online. He explains in the book what life was life after his auto accident. The book is inspiring because it shows you how "truly blessed" we are to have our health and not be in a wheel chair. After reading his book i cherish every moment of life. RIP Teddy Pendergrass
Yesss
Being in a wheelchair is no fun. I know I've been in one about 4 years----
@@msslsm4158 hey
Yeah I loved this man
Music was really his passion
The accident caused him to lose some of the power in his voice but like he said he was able to maximize what he has. His grace can never be taken
That’s true. I think he lost some of it, due to his lungs being affected. He’s still a gym to me.
I won't say really he lost some of the ability to his voice we must also remember that when you grow up there are some changes to the voice and was 2001 when this interview was done and the man was old by that time not young .
Good way to put it.. just lost a little power. That’s about it
When you sing, the sound should come from your diaghpram, which is below your lungs. Sitting down hinders this, so of course there is a lack of power behind his voice after his accident. But Teddy is still the man!
You said it the Best....peace
IT'S 2019 AND AIN'T NOBODY TOUCHING HIS VOCALS PERIOD!!!
ILOVE HIM THAT TKO GO ME OUR A RELATIONSHIP CLOSE DOOR GOT ME IN THE BEDROOM YOU BAD R.I.P.💯🌹🎈🎈🎈🎈❤️🙄🌹
Or in 2020 🎤💛
Drake can mop the floor with Teddy. SIKE
@@MisterB2eternity LOL

Teddy was the first artist my husband and I saw together. We had just met in 1980 we've now been Married 33 years. Teddy is our man xx
Congratulations over 33 years marital journey, may GOD give you more years together in good health 👫
earlyretirementrocks Elaine Fitzpatrick did u watch the documentary? So powerful, and yes looks like the boys in the hood did that to him.
You wrote this a year ago. I hope your marriage is still going strong
Congratulations to you. Your story is an inspiration.
Sorry glad dor you
You can see the hurt in his eyes fr he was a strong man R.I.P. Teddy
sitting in a wheelchair, says he's limited and still don't need auto tune. now that's talent
It's sad that all artists like Teddy are long gone forever.
gee skin KELLY mccloud
A lot of reverb on his mix
Amen!
Touché
Here it is 2022 and some of the recording artist of today can't touch his vocals from a wheelchair.🔥RIP! Teddy Pendergrass and his mother who recently passed at 103yrs!
They're joyfully reunited, in Heaven.
Straight up 💯
They're out there but the music industry won't sign them.
He has such a beautiful soul. The chair did not limit him. His voice was still beautiful and powerful. Rest in Peace, Teddy Pendergrass. #Legend 🙏🏻
2023 And Still listening to this Great Legend !! His voice STILL Amazing after many yrs. & in his Condition. He’s such an Inspiration!! 🔥❤️🔥❤️
2024
There will never be another “Teddy” he was untouchable. We need music like this. Now that was a man who was blessed
Yes he’s miss l Love me some Teddy ❤
His music is played everyday on the radio here in Philadelphia 2024
How lovely is that?
@@annetteminett8500 very
It’s just so heartbreaking seeing Teddy like this despite how utterly inspiring and courageous he was. He was the best of all time. Such a gentleman with beautiful soul. ❤️
Yeah, it's heartbreaking, but he's really showing what's possible with a lot of love, support, and determination. Beautiful, blessed, and talented he was. ❤
Such a beautiful person inside and out. He's singing with the angels now, and still miss that voice every day.
I don't know how many of you actually know how hard it is to actually sing out while sitting down. Sometimes I have to move my legs or my hands to belt when I'm sitting😭😭 this man is just sitting there and singing like this😭 he's amazing
This mans smile and music brings joy to my heart! I appreciate growing up to his music
His beautiful smile and his beautiful eyes bring joy to my heart too.
He sure loved to sing..it brought him joy..we love you Teddy Pendergrass!!
He’s so eloquent and open, compared to a lot of singers today. I could just listen to him speak, let alone sing 😍😍 LORD 👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
Indeed. Same here!
DINOLOVER6717 Well, no. A lot of singers are compared to him. Jennifer Hudson compared Tyshawn Colquitt on The Voice to Teddy Pendergrass.
Spot on
rest in peace Teddy Pendergrass we lost a legend
I'd rather listen to Teddy in a chair, than Reagan and Bush on a horse!
Yes we did...
@@user-sp8eb6iz7f .
@@user-sp8eb6iz7f wow
Yes we did
God how I loved this man. I went to one of his concerts about 1982, and when he came out on stage me and about 30 other young women ran to the foot of the stage, and I made sure I was in the front. I don't know his height, 6ft+, but he was tall and elegant, like a Cadillac, and sang songs that made you melt. I don't know if there is a category of King of Love songs, but he sure would have won. Even hearing him here on this video still brought chills to me. He still had it. I was devastated when I heard of his car accident, and very sad of his passing. Thank you for this video, because I hadn't seen or heard much about how his life was going after his accident. I do feel that he had gotten his life together, that God had been working with him, to face his fears, and it had humbled him. I guess all I can say is I appreciate the season of his life, that he brought love to us, and anyone who gives love, can only go where the God of love, resides.✌❤Teddy
Beautiful message thank you :-)
What kind of courage does this man have ? Thank you Teddy , you are the best !
I wish he was still with us.
His legacy is still here tho
No truer words spoken
North Italy - Last night of August 2020 - I am 24 and found my favourite singer.
Never heard of him before tonight. Whitney Houston took me here via UA-cam.
He was an amazing singer :-)
I just loved the emotion of the stylistic way Teddy sang his songs. I cry when I hear him sing I know one day I will see him in heaven no wheel chair just a young Teddy
Handsome handsome man. Accident was such a sad thing. God bless that man! Hope he's at eternal peace now.
🙏🏻❤️😢
Even with paralyzed vocals, he sings better than all these young acts out here today
Touché that is the power of real talent!
What a voice, that chair will never take that beautiful voice away ... Luv Teddy
I'm amazed about the way that Teddy spoke. A lot of singers sing, but when they do interviews, you soon find out that they can't speak well. Teddy was so eloquent and intelligent. When you realize where he grew up, it's even more amazing. Out of the pits of Philadelphia this amazing man grew into an amazing person. Even more amazing is the fact that he came back from a place that few of us could ever come back from. He was on his way to reaching even higher goals; he was a sex symbol; he was funny and full of life; he was a good son. I'm not sure I would be able to get back even 1% of what he did after such a devastating accident. Curtis Mayfield is another soldier. Teddy was a great man before his accident, and an even greater man after. I'm so sorry we didn't have him for a longer time. I can't think of another singer today who has a voice as provoking as Teddy's.
So is Michael Jackson
Beautiful, beautiful tribute ❤️
A wheelchair helps you get around,that's it. His music lives and he lives through his music. Awesome.
There was no better voice in all of R&B. Miss his singing.
You sound greater than ever Teddy. You are a giant inspiration to all of us disabled people.
Jennifer Hudson was the one who mentioned this guy on The Voice. So thank you, J. Hud, for introducing this great singer to me.
Teddy was the man! He proved that life is a song worth singing, such an inspiration on so many levels
Even while in his chair. He still sounded great. What an inspiration. ❤❤❤ RIP. Teddy Pendergrass. ❤💔🙏🏻
That voice. He's singing to the angels right now. Miss you Teddy.
The world came to a standstill shortly thereafter. RIP to one of the greatest baritones in history.
Even here with the loss of some breath depth, his tone and delivery is MAGESTIC!
Modern singers can only wish to get here.Teddy is MASTER.
Simply the best! Sing to the glory of God now Theodore!
Listen and Learn y'all ... You are too unique Teddy.... All we see is you .... All we hear is your heavenly voice....You did it and we are still feeling it.... You knocked us out with your lovely voice... T.K.O. style....Rest in Power Great African Elder .. yep
When Teddy Pendergrass passed away I remember crying for a week playing his music over and over. The remix come on go with me 😥
Oh oh yes! Come go with me is another classic jam for short Broski was the man!
Making my eyes sweat, watching this graceful man work. I didn't make it to the end without blurring up.
My friends Keiko and Glen and I used to catch Teddy whenever he performed in Philly--our hometown and his! He would also patronize other local acts. We knew him well enough to sit with him when he was there to catch someone else's act like the O'Jays or Gil Scott Heron. There are no words to describe his magnetism, not to mention the distinctive voice. He was so charismatic and truly genuine and down to earth. A fun person to be with: kind, generous, loving. Rest In Power, Teddy.
The amount of passion and will he has is impressive
Classiest voice in the history of music.. will always love Teddy 🧸 ❤️
That was truly heart-warmimg.
The paralysis prevents him from singing all the way "from his stomach" like great singers like himself, but he still sounded great.
Yessss
He was and is my all time favorite. His eyes look so sad he went through hell. RIP Teddy. Why is it the best always die so young?
@Jas Nirk I agree with you. They have been ripping off mega black stars for years.
2019 I watched with tears in my eyes,love your music
Never forget that man...WOW!!! Still listen to his music!!!
RIP Teddy!!! You was that dude!!! There will never be another and he was a killer drummer!!!!!!!!!

Handsome and talented
No such thing as a "disability" to the strong and determined...he proved it!
We can continue with the gifts God gave us..no matter.
As an amputee..I know this!
A great man..greater singer and true inspiration to all.
The so called "singers" today...
Pay attention to his skill set!
Damn...miss this dude❤
One of the greatest recording artists of ALL time, a true profile of courage.

THE POWER THIS MAN HAS IS UNREAL , MISS HIS MUSIC
Baby all that matters is that mind and voice up there. Even though he’s sitting, he still stands tall.
Thanks Bryan , he’s a beautiful man . Sad story of he’s life since he was young.
He was such a wonderful man. I’ve always felt encouragement when I watched his interviews.
2022
RESPECT TO THE SWAG MAN.

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ❤
He has still got it, that beautiful voice. R.I.P. Teddy never forgotten
My heart is breaking watching this, you are such a beautiful and talented man, i have loved you since the 70s and i will keep on loving you and your music, why did this have to happen to you Teddy? RIP 😢❤😗
Thank you Teddy Pendergrass for your music. Your music has helped me overcome heart aches.
He was such an exceptional man. I am speechless. As a performer, he was something. I watched the documentary, he caught my breath away. I have never set my eyes on such a gorgeus man. He has all his charisma left. I just fell in love with his soul when I saw the film. His singing was unbelievable, he truly was the black Elvis.
Nice looking and talented man. I admire how he seemed to handle his disability with grace throughout. A humble soldier. He is with his Master now. We miss you Teddy.
Nothing can stop true soul genius like this man.
Teddy taught me as a singer to be raw and natural and sing from your heart. Feel the song. I embrace it.
Simply the greatest male vocalist ever. There will never be a voice like this again
I was a teenager during his great solo career. SO sad we lost a great deal of talent recently and past.
I still love him !!! Sleep in heavenly peace😍💞
This is courage, determination, self confidence and G-d given talent all rolled into one!
An amazing voice that went quiet way too soon...💜
Such sad loss,Still loving the music.
His inner light is shining through the rooftops of humanity. Bless his soul and his spirit. I love you, Teddy.
He was bopping! I love it! He is still mastering his craft in your face! ❤🖤💚RIP King Teddy!
Teddy’s VOICE is The man and ALWAYS WILL BE! WE MISS YOUR PRESENCE AS THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIMES!! SUCH A SPECIAL VOICE!!!
🙏🏻💕
He made us proud coming from his accident, and performing like he never left. Sing in Heaven Teddy. Much love💞
Teddy Pendergrass still look good!!! His voice is still amazing!!! RIP Mr. Pendergrass.
What a heck man?
This dude’s ability to sing is a gift.
He was a amazing singer that's a true song! That's why we must be grateful everyday we are able to stand & walk. We never know what lies ahead of us. Even though a legend has passed he is no longer wheelchair can't feel or move now. God has made him whole!!
Teddy was the beacon of a beautiful spirit who stayed positive…still had a powerful voice R.I.P… always a fan!
This live version sounds beautiful. RIP to a real legend
How can you thumbs down this performance or Teddy PERIODt? 🤔🤷🏾♂️
So beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes
I miss this brother. What talent...What a voice...Rest peacefully King 🙏🏽
Man... What an incredible Human Being! When I listen to him I feel something inside of me that NO other singer can make me feel! I love him as a beautiful human being first and his art that is a direct gift from another dimension! I truly just love Mr Pendergrass. A man .. A survivor..and was a performer loaded with passion and love! Rest easy Teddy. Your message is more important now more than ever: Wake up everybody!
OMG! He sound so good.
We miss you Teddy Pendergrass. Your music will live on God bless you bro 2019? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm 15 and teddy inspires me so much because i grew up kind of rough and my life took a lot of turns he empowers me and inspures me to grow into a man. being a black man in america isnt easy and with disabilities it makes the adversaty worse. and im anemic, he's like my pops ;) i miss teddy and i love him and his beautiful heart🤛🏽🤞🏽👈🏽
No boundaries , no self doubt , what a man !, in this world of madness this man is an inspiration , no matter what life throws at you , watch this , put your nose to the ground and the only way is up!!!!
Your still the man. All ur songs brings back memories 80s
This makes me tear up because when Teddy died it was a major loss to everyone who enjoyed his music and for anyone who knew him. He expressed a deep desire to get back into the studio and record again. Gone too soon. 😥😪
Greetings from Greece! What a remarkable artist! We miss him so!
One of my favorite artists
Beautiful man. In my opinion he sang the greatest song ever on that wheel chair: In My Time.
👑Still King Teddy👑 wheelchair or no wheelchair...handicap or no handicap! God rest his soul.🙏🏽
Still makes me sad to hear him in that wheelchair compared to when he could stand. He still killed it and is a lot better than most singers today. RIP Teddy
STILL MISSING YOU BUDDY.
