One of soul music’s most indelible voices has passed away. Teddy Pendergrass, the gruff-toned R&B superstar who shined as the genre’s biggest sex symbol for much of the ‘70s and early ‘80s, died Wednesday at the age of 59.
The singer's son, Teddy Pendergrass II, said his father died at Bryn Mawr Hospital in suburban Philadelphia. The singer underwent colon cancer surgery eight months ago and had "a difficult recovery," his son said.
Born March 26, 1950 in Philadelphia, Pendergrass, a former drummer, first gained attention as a member of the ‘70s vocal group Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. After signing a deal with the legendary production duo Gamble & Huff’s Philadelphia International Records, the heart-stirring singer lead the group to a string of hits including “I Miss You,” “Bad Luck,” “If You Don’t Know Me By Now,” and the socially conscious anthem “Wake Up Everybody.”
Pendergrass suffered a spinal cord injury and was paralyzed from the waist down in the 1982 car accident. He spent six months in a hospital but returned to recording the next year with the album "Love Language."
He returned to the stage at the Live Aid concert in 1985, performing from his wheelchair.

NBA star Gilbert Arenas has been suspended indefinitely after a much-publicized incident in which he allegedly pulled a gun on a teammate in the locker room.
NBA commissioner David Stern says in a statement Wednesday that Arenas' actions will "ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse."
Because Arenas violated NBA rules by bringing guns into Washington's locker room, Stern decided to punish Arenas now. He said the suspension begins immediately.
"Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game."
"Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA."
The star, who turns 28 today, is thought to have had four unlicensed guns in his possession and will likely face a grand jury investigation for the incident.
Every game Arenas ends up missing during the suspension will cost him $147,208.

The 30-year-old’s body was discovered in Los Angeles according to multiple reports. Her cause of death has yet to be determined.An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death, though rumblings of a drug overdose are running rampant.
Johnson was "engaged" to reality star Tila Tequila, who announced last month on a web video that her girlfriend had asked her to get married.
Tila Tequila posted this on Twitter: “Everyone please pray 4 my Wifey Casey Johnson. She has passed away. Thank u for all ur love and support but I will be offline to be w family.”
