In celebration of Black History Month, Showtime will air a documentary on legendary soul singer Teddy Pendergrass. It’s titled, Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don’t Know Me. Teddy was the first male African-American artist to release five consecutive platinum albums. Of course the doc will follow his comeback after a near-fatal 1982 car accident at age 31 that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Pendergrass died in 2010 of respiratory failure at the age 59. Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don’t Know Me premieres tomorrow night at 8 on Showtime.
