Love TKO

Last week the world lost one of the greatest R&B / Soul artists (Songwriter & Singer) that we have ever known. He started his music journey with with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes in the 70's and then went on to pursue a very successful solo career. I have uploaded one of my all time favorite slow jams and one of his most known pieces of work, "Love TKO". My first expierences with that song came in the form of sampling when Ahmad used the beginning of the track for his tune, "Back in the Day". I also have an old Ragga Jungle tune that used the same exact sample.

Outside of music he formed "The Teddy Pendergrass Alliance" which was a foundation set up to help those with spinal cord injuries. This came about after 1982 when he himself was paralyzed from the waist down after a bad car accident.

With all of his contributions to the world, he will really be missed.
