8/8. Mica Paris showcases vintage and contemporary soul. The series concludes with special guest Teddy Pendergrass , who for the first half of the 70s sang lead with Harold Melvin and the Blue
Notes (If You Don Know Me by Now, The Love I Lost (Part One) and Wake up Everybody (Part One)) before branching out on his own (Close the Door, Turn Off the Lights and Love TKO). A car accident in 1982 left the singer partially paralysed, but he continued to record during the 80s and 90s.
