Teddy was in fact paralysed after a traffic accident in the 80′s and founded the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance a charity to help those suffering from spinal related injuries.

His musical career began in the 70′s as part of Harold & the Blue Notes of which he departed to embark on a successful solo career that saw 5 Grammy nominations, with releases right up to 2007.

Songs from both his Blue Note days and solo career included; I Don’t Love You Anymore, If You Don’t Know Me By Now, Don’t Leave Me This Way, Close The Door.

I have been searching for a Jovonn remix of “Just Fine” that I heard Norman Jay playing at this year’s Notting Hill carnival. Without any joy I resorted to making my own version of this infectious track. Nothing like the deep house version that was cause of the inspiration but that’s just how things go!

I’ve got some pretty cool artwork coming up to go with the track to so watch this space.

Thanks goes to out Kataclism who has been recently showing me where I’ve been going so wrong with Logic for the past 5 or so years! You are a star hunny!

Message for Sunny

Credit also has to go to Mark Ronson who did a sterling job at programming the drums over Boney M’s 1976 original “Sunny” for his 2003 track “Ooh Wee” that charted No. 15 in the UK.

Sunny was actually a cover in itself (and covered many times in its history). Written by Bobby Hebb the day after Kennedy as assasinated in ’63, which coinsided with the death of his older brother who died in a knife fight outside a nightclub in Nashville. When watching this saccharine styled performance you cannot help wonder what was going through the 28 year olds mind as he smiles uncertainly into the camera.
