    I’d just turned 16 when I saw the Live Aid concerts, and while I was aware of Teddy - I’m from the Philadelphia burbs plus I have relatives who had TP albums in their collections (which I am currently in possession of 😊) - I was more excited about the Zeppelin reunion and other acts, and of course U2 and Queen got lots of press and fan praise for “bringing it” … But to me, THIS performance, Teddy with Ashford & Simpson, is an equally-defining and important moment of the entirety of both concerts.
    As A&S stated in their intro, Teddy hadn’t been on a stage since his car “accident” (IDK if Teddy’s car had been tampered with, but that whole thing is strange), can you imagine being TP and having your “comeback” moment in front of, essentially, the entire world?!?
    What happened to Teddy shouldn’t happen to a dog, or any living being. And while I’m sure Teddy endured much between Live Aid and the end of his life, Teddy’s performance at Live Aid proved he wasn’t beaten. RIP Teddy.

    brutha had a voice like no one else...next level stuff, his voice. He made my jaw drop a number of times, just listening to him, interpret a lyric. When he ended up in a wheelchair, and word got out that he was paralyzed in a way that would take the "heat" out of his voice, I cried...because the essence of Teddy's voice was 'pure power and primal sexiness"..and it was gone. He still gave it the college-try, like he did here, but his last great record, came BEFORE the car wreck..after that he was a shadow of himself. A LEGENDARY performer and a once in a lifetime, voice.
