Teddy Pendergrass

The untold and ultimately inspiring story of legendary singer, Teddy Pendergrass, the man poised to be the biggest R&B artist of all time until the tragic accident that changed his life forever at the age of only 31.

Filmed at London’s Hammersmith Odeon in 1982, this spectacular concert showcases Teddy at the peak of his powers. Performing hits from his four platinum albums — Teddy Pendergrass, Life Is A Song Worth Singing, Teddy and TP — the R&B legend delights the London crowd with energetic soul stompers and steamy serenades. The concert concludes with a rousing rendition of “Reach Out And Touch (Somebody’s Hand),” as Teddy is joined onstage by an adorable chorus of London schoolchildren.

Recorded close to the release of the landmark Teddy album and his first solo hit single, "Close The Door," Teddy! Live In ’79 captures the magic and the heat of this mighty soulman’s legendary live performances. In addition to his solo material, Teddy also performs a medley of his biggest Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes hits and belts out a soulful cover of Eric Carmen’s "All By Myself," which has never appeared on a Teddy Pendergrass release until now.

Live Aid was held on 13 July 1985, simultaneously in Wembley Stadium in London, England, and the John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, United States. It was one of the largest scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time: watched live by an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations. "It's twelve noon in London, seven AM in Philadelphia, and around the world it's time for Live Aid...!"
