Pendergrass
bouncing back
Talented singer Teddy Pen
dergrass is looking good and soun
ding good as he bounces back from
the automobile accident that left
him paralyzed, reports the Sep
tember EBONY.
The tragic March 1982 accident
broke his neck and left him a
quadriplegic confirmed to a
wheelchair. In spite of the trauma,
Pendergrass maintains a positive
attitude, saying he is “not sick,
just handicapped.”
Pendergrass also says he thanks
God for “leaving me with four
vital organs in good working or
der-my brain, my voice, my
heart...and down th?r»» ”
Always a shrewd investor, Pen
dergrass has used the past two
and-one-half years to increase his
business holdings and further his
education. Although the mental
anguish and the pain associated
with physical therapy have
sometimes been intense, Pen
dergrass has found a renewed inner
strength in his relationship with
God.
He is also active as a spokesman
for paralysis victims. He is
executive director for the Coalition
on Spinal Cord Injury and is in
volved in planning a national
telethon to raise funds for
paralysis victims.

UNDERSTATED VIRTUOSITY —On her
new Motown LP, she calls herself a Wild
Animal. With her past group, she sold close
to 500,000 albums and was praised by the Los
Angeles Times for “imagination, wit and un
derstated virtuosity.” But who is this
mysterious vixen? It’s Vanity—formerly of
Vanity 6 —who has been quietly working for
the last six months on her first solo album.
Wolfer, producer of Shalamar’s Dancing In
The Sheets, who’s known for his keyboard
work with Stevie Wonder and the Jacksons.
Says Vanity, “I come up with a title and a
feel for a song. I give it to Bill, and he comes
up with a rythm track. Then I write the
melody and the lyrics.” How do other male
musicians feel about Wolfer’s collaboration
with Vanity? Jealous!
