Teddy Pendergrass is one of the most beloved R&B singers from the late 70’s and early 80’s. Although a car accident would leave him a paraplegic, that didn’t stop Teddy from performing or keep his fans away. Legacy Recordings has released a special two disc collection titled “The Essential Teddy Pendergrass.” The two disc release features 28 of Teddy’s most beloved hit songs. Songs included on the release include “Close The Door,” “Love T.K.O.,” “Get Up, Get Down,” and many other hits. The release also includes Teddy’s duet with Stephanie Mills “Feel The Fire,” and his collaboration with Whitney Houston “Hold Me.” The CD was produced by Gamble & Huff. In addition to the 28 re-mastered hit songs, “The Essential Teddy Pendergrass,” includes rare photos and an essay.
