    Wow!! Where do people get their information?

    Teddy had cancer, unfortunately, many people die of colon cancer, I lost several relatives. I feel for his family. It is never easy to lose someone never!!! I think doctors should tell people to get screened much earlier than they are told to. I think it’s sad people are coming up w/such crap about conspiracies.
    I think Teddy was, is the most kind, caring human being. And he had such a talent.
    No other singer will ever come close!

    @musiclover77able You dumb fuck, what gives you the assumption that I am white male or female? What proof do you have? No idiot; I happen to be a black woman. It is absurd, that you blame and believe that white folks, are the death of black male entertainer’s. Wow! So, you believe that “white’s” are behind Teddy’s unfortunate car accident? If so , find the proof, and then post your research on “you tube.”

    Unfortunately, you have not the slightest clue of what you are talking about. Where did you get your knowledge from, concerning the “Vital Statistics” of a black male? Since, we are talking about Teddy Pendergrass. Remember, Teddy was paralyzed approximately 28 years ago. When you suffer from a permanent injury, the body does not function the same, as before. A conspiracy, what a hoot! You’re pyschotic!

    R.I.P. Teddy, you will live on forever through your music, God bless!

    @nastylefthook. I won’t send the reply to you directly. Just to let you know, that comment like that only show that ingorance from what was started hundrends of years ago, hasn’t changed some of the way some of you think. Well, how can you tell someone to go back to Africa. Why don’t u go back to Europe or whatever county you’ve come from. History teaches us that you are a seed of ignorance, & some of you are good people. Discracing Teddy like that is uncalled for. This applies to all!

    Your obviously a sad little redneck of a man who can only get some action with your own nasty left hand…GET A LIFE at least their lives are better than yours !!!!!! Sado

    @It’s funny how when I speak the truth, people get offended. Let’s face facts. There are WAY too many black male artists dying in one decade. I STILL believe that something is fishy going on when every year another black male artist dies. If you don’t think that something’s going on herer, then you’re blind just like the rest of society. PEACE!

    @musiclover77able….what’s your point?? Are you saying that black male artists are being knocked off mysteriously?? That’s what “society” wants you to believe?? Are you nuts? stoned? we’re talking Teddy Pendergrass here not Elvis..faking his own death (or supposedly)…so what are your thoughts? Do enlighten us with your theory of how these singers have died?? I am sure we will all be richer once we hear it.

    @chipmunkfanalways …
    @chipmunkfanalways We can’t deny the fact that white male artists outlive the black male artist, 2 to 1. There’s more black male singers dying in one decade than white male singers.

    Well I think God called him home…. He was a brave man that faught the good fight and he did one of a job.. I am disabled too and I fight the good fight every single day… A lot of greats have died black or white.. it sucks but he is free from the pain….

    @chipmunkfanalways …
    @chipmunkfanalways I know. I’m VERY VERY off right now because ANOTHER BLACK MAN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY DIED! Every year is the same ol shit. Every year, another famous black male artist dies. This is me off. I don’t think that Teddy died of colon cancer. That’s what the “society” wants you to believe.
