Documentary Born and raised in Philadelphia, Teddy Pendergrass became the first African American male artist to record five consecutive platinum albums against a backdrop of social upheaval in 1960s America. This documentary pays tribute to the singer, who was paralysed from the chest down following a car crash in 1982, and staged a comeback including an emotional performance at the 1985 Live Aid concert in his home city.
