Now Playing: Love TKO – Nadir’s Distorted Soul Live at Memphis Smoke

Teddy Pendergrass RIP

Teddy Pendergrass was a giant among men. An amazing singer, and charismatic performer, he provided even greater inspiration when he returned to music making and performing after a tragic car accident left him paralyzed. His strength and courage is an example to all of us as we deal with whatever trials and tribulations come into our lives.

Rest in Peace, Teddy. We love you and will miss you.

“Love TKO” is my favorite Teddy song, and one of my favorite songs period. I’ve been performing it for years, always doing my best to live up to Teddy’s powerful vocals. I’ve never quite made it, but I sure have fun making the attempt.

With the discerning eye of a journalist and the soul of a rock and roll musician, Detroit-based funk disciple Nadir Omowale has made a career of speaking his mind on what is affecting the world and its inhabitants that range from matters of the heart, economics and yes, politics.   Omowale, whose first name is Jonah, encounters a whale of an issue allegorical to the narrative of his famous Biblical namesake with his new musick video, “Guantanamo”.
