Yes he is. On March 18, 1982, in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, Pendergrass was involved in an automobile accident when the brakes failed on his Rolls-Royce and he hit a tree leaving him paralyzed from the waist down with a spinal cord injury. He spent six months in rehabilitation. After completing physical therapy, he returned to the studio to record the album Love Language, featuring the 1984 ballad “Hold Me”, a duet with the then upcoming star Whitney Houston. He also returned to the public for a performance on July 13, 1985 at the historic Live Aid concert in Philadelphia, then continued to record throughout the 1980s and 90s. Pendergrass has published a biography entitled ‘Truly Blessed’ with Patricia Romanowski.
Its Pendergrass and yeah, he is very much alive. He used to be the front man in the 70’s group Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, then went on to record several hits on his own in the 70’s and 80’s. Haven’t heard much from him since then!
Teddy was the man back in the day! Here’s his info:
