I WAS THERE FOR HOURS, I SAW THIS PERFORMANCE AND I WAS MOVED TO TEARS. MY FAMILY WAS WELL ACQUAINTED WITH THE PENDERGRASS FAMILY! TEDDY'S PERFORMANCE WAS INCREDIBLE AND ENCOURAGING.
I wasn’t there but I saw it on tv and when Teddy came out my god my eyes started welling so happy to see him and sing his accident may of taken away his ability to do most things but it didn’t take away his voice that incredible voice
Naomi Motlhasedi / Nothing Wrong With That. I Agree Sweetie.. WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO KEEP US ENCOURAGED IN GODS GOODNESS. Stay sweet.~#Yearofwisdom #Blackdiamond
The very definition of bravery and the power of mind set. Today's artists can only dream of having an ounce of this talent. Rest easy, Teddy - never forgotten 💜
This never ever fails to bring tears to my eyes. Especially when I saw his tears. He was such a talented legend (& a very handsome one as well). So many people thought he was done after his accident. Thank God he proved them wrong for many years after this.
Oh my God you were there! I never have "talked" to anyone that was there. I bet this was so beautiful to see/hear Teddy that day! And all the other bands, oh man. What an amazing thing to be there huh?!
I was there as well..all in tears, all reaching out to touch somebody’s hand. Great to see Teddy get such a warm welcome back. Cry every time I watch this. That day was such a beautiful day.
I WAS THERE WITH A FEW CLOSE FRIENDS, WE HEARD ABOUT THE SHOW AT SHORT NOTICE. IT WAS A HASSLE TO GET 😒 TICKETS, WE ALMOST DIDN'T ATTEND! THE EVENT WAS HISTORY IN THE MAKING 🤗🤗🤗 THIS PERFORMANCE WAS SO EMOTIONAL 😢 ENCOURAGING AND EXTRAORDINARY. I DIDN'T REALIZE AT THAT TIME, JUST HOW PROFOUND THE EVENT WOULD BE. BLESSED
Damn this is brings tears to my eyes seeing Teddy like this and at the same time warms my heart for the love he received here and around the world rest in peace 🙏
The accident may have taken Teddys ability to walk but it didn't take his voice away and he never stopped singing and performing a true legend and a class act we miss you Teddy and we'll always remember you lots of love to you and your family
@@Micky2009ish I believe you. I'm more of a Teddy 🧸than a Barry. He talked too much. Strangely enough, I never did like Luther. I lean more towards Marvin's and Teddy's more soulful voices. They sung about Love and loves that they lost. Luther well.....
@Kase Madden I know this is spam but if this is real , why would anyone be so insecure to hack anyone's account ? That's just lame. I'm happy I grew up in the 80's. No wireless internet. No cellphones with cameras or internet browsers . Just good old foot work !
I've seen this before years ago... but it hits in the feels now. As time goes on you see what it takes for people to push through the challenges. This is beautiful.
North Italy - Last night of August 2020 - I am 24 and found my favourite singer. Never heard of him before tonight. Whitney Houston took me here via RU-vid. He was an amazing singer :-)
I just saw this on " If you don't know me" documentary about Teddy Pendergrass and it made me cry like a baby! 😢 That was amazing considering what he had been through.
I’m watching it right now. Just took a break to get a coffee before continuing. I wanted to see if this performance was on RU-vid. I’m thrilled it is. I have the Live Aid DVD set, but everybody should be able to see this. Teddy was the shiznit.
My aunt asked me about this part. She happened to see him come out, and the crowd was going wild He was tearing up. I told her about his accident, and how he was resuming his career from his wheelchair, after two years.
Back when people listened to the music and were not selfish.. no cell phones or social media garbage to distract the pure beauty of this music expressed by true artists...rip teddy and nick
I 💕 love this l remember watching this in Real Time on TV when Teddy came on Stage Chills Went All Over Me . Teddy Pendergrass was such a Powerful Soul Vocalist 💕 and He was so Handsome l Grew Up Listening to his beautiful 😍 Music Turn Off the LIGHTS and Close Door back in the day When Men Could Really Sing and make you feel what they were Singing about. We Miss you Teddy. Rest ❤️ In Peace. This is Geraldine Walker from Saginaw Michigan.
Fine fine fine fine Lord ain't nothing better Teddy and Nick hot damn. Listening to Teddy made me think of Nick wondering if they ever sang together. Thank you for sharing. Love you Teddy, Nick and Queen Valerie
Anyone who was there and witnessed this live. I would love to hear about your experience. I was born in 93 and today in 2022 I found out he was paralyzed. I never ever knew after hearing his music all these years
seeing that crowd gave me goosebumps! Like in today's generation you dont see that type crowd anymore , even if you are world's biggest pop star! that is crazy !!RIP TO TEDDY!
Yes his voice was brilliant and his performances great but his fight after what happened in that terrible accident was inspirational. R.I.P Teddy Pendergrass.
I WOULD LIKE NOTHIN BETTER THAN TO SEE THIS WORLD BE A BETTER PLACE NOW I M NOT A PESSIMIST BUT IT'S TOO MUCH HATE IN THIS WORLD ALL WE CAN DO IS DO OUR BEST AN HOPE AN PRAY FOR THA BEST OUTCOME
brutha had a voice like no one else...next level stuff, his voice. He made my jaw drop a number of times, just listening to him, interpret a lyric. When he ended up in a wheelchair, and word got out that he was paralyzed in a way that would take the "heat" out of his voice, I cried...because the essence of Teddy's voice was 'pure power and primal sexiness"..and it was gone. He still gave it the college-try, like he did here, but his last great record, came BEFORE the car wreck..after that he was a shadow of himself. A LEGENDARY performer and a once in a lifetime, voice.
I’d just turned 16 when I saw the Live Aid concerts, and while I was aware of Teddy - I’m from the Philadelphia burbs plus I have relatives who had TP albums in their collections (which I am currently in possession of 😊) - I was more excited about the Zeppelin reunion and other acts, and of course U2 and Queen got lots of press and fan praise for “bringing it” … But to me, THIS performance, Teddy with Ashford & Simpson, is an equally-defining and important moment of the entirety of both concerts. As A&S stated in their intro, Teddy hadn’t been on a stage since his car “accident” (IDK if Teddy’s car had been tampered with, but that whole thing is strange), can you imagine being TP and having your “comeback” moment in front of, essentially, the entire world?!? What happened to Teddy shouldn’t happen to a dog, or any living being. And while I’m sure Teddy endured much between Live Aid and the end of his life, Teddy’s performance at Live Aid proved he wasn’t beaten. RIP Teddy.
