Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don't Know Me

Americans know how to make a good music documentary, and this one is really nice. It's interesting that not only was Teddy Pendergrass an excellent singer and a big star, he was surrounded by people who genuinely loved him. Not everyone has that. That love was tested when he had a terrible car accident that left him a quadriplegic. He was (understandably) so depressed he wanted to die, but his loved ones had a mock funeral in which they stated why they loved him. He chose to keep going and sing again. The only trouble with this doco was that it abruptly finishes when he has just re-started his career. Maybe I got a bad cut of the doco (it screened on TV). Anyway, his friends and family are really lovely people. He was so lucky to have them. Their love was pure and it continues today.
