He had colon cancer.

Sorry, I got his name spelled wrong but I can’t edit the thread title.

ETA: That’s okay, I can :wink: [signed] twicks

I saw that on CNN this morning. It made me sad. I had a lot of good memories of listening to his songs.

Turn off the lights… And light a candle.

RIP Teddy.

(Though my wife and I thought he had already passed away).

RIP. My first LP was a Teddy Pendegrass album that I won at the record walk at my elementary school. Nothing like a little Soul/Disco for a kid.

I think I will go download some greatest hits from iTunes - anyone have a song suggestion or two?

This is the way I’ll choose to remember the magnificent Teddy P.

Oh yeah! He had it all.

Weird–I was just reading about him (I was reading a Marvin Gaye biography where his name pops up a few times). Poor Teddy!
