Aight, I won't front like I lost one of my biggest musical influences last night. I can't name a single Teddy Pendergrass album, and can hum the tune to only a few of what are probably his MOST popular songs, which by nature, I guess, makes me a casual fan.
What I will say is that the occasions on which I did get the opportunity to hear Mr. Pendergrass leave me wondering why the hell I didn't do more digging before he passed. I'm hoping the homie MIDIMarc is hard at work RIGHT NOW on a tribute project (I think I'll post that on twitter while I'm thinking about it) for the late, great Teddy Pendergrass.
In all the music I've recorded over the past several years, I've only spit over one Teddy Pendergrass sample. Well, I didn't really spit over that one either. It was a DJ Forge remix of "Sit Tight", a 208 Dragons song from our Burning Bush (2003) album. It's only fitting, with the passing of a musical great (I'm reviewing the catalogue as we speak!), that I pay homage with a revisit. So here it is:
RIP Teddy Pendergrass
