Willie Mitchell 1928-2010 Teddy Pendergrass 1950-2010
It seems I only pop up on here at the moment to mark the sad passing of another legend but while I had held off as long as possible I felt I had to post something to reflect the passing of both Willie Mitchell and Teddy Pendergrass.
Two extremely different artists, both men have soundtracked some of the most romantic and downright dirty moments of my life. This isn’t in anyway trying to cheapen their music, Teddy’s solo work was well versed on the art of seduction and heartbreak (that voice!) and Mitchell’s instantly recognisable sound was the perfect accompaniment to Green’s sexual growls and Peeble’s strident voice amog many others.
There’s been some great tributes to Mitchell on our blog list over the last week and I expect something similar for Pendergrass so I’ll leave you for now with a couple of youtube clips after the jump that sums up their talent. Back with some hopefully happier posts shortly.
