Teddy Pendergrass was an R&B superstar in his day with his smouldering hits such as Close the Door, Come Go With Me, Turn Off The Lights – you get the theme? And then, in 1982 at the age of 31, he was involved in a car accident which left him quadriplegic until his death in 2011. Olivia Lichenstein’s documentary interviews family, friends and industry insiders, alongside rare archive footage including confessional tapes recorded by the singer himself to offer insight into his life, the music industry and race relations. Lichenstein is in attendance for a Q&A with journalist Jim Carroll.
