Teddy Pendergrass

has been hospitalized in Philadelphia for the past month and in a statement to the press said, "I wish to thank my fans for their prayers, concerns and love. While I have faced recent health challenges, I am in the care of my wonderful doctors, wife Joan and family." In 1982 Teddy Pendergrass was left paralyzed from the waist down after crashing his Rolls Royce into a tree. There was a bit of a scandal [but not much in those pre-Internet days] surrounding the crash because the other passenger in the car was a transsexual nightclub singer named Tenika Watson.
