Pendergrass died in January 2010 after suffering complications while being treated for colon cancer. Producer Leon Huff reflected on his career saying:

"Teddy had that big, booming baritone voice, but he was a tender man. He was very lovable. You could hear it in his music."

In her caption, Mills referred to Pendergrass as her brother and told her fans that "now was a great time to stay home and feel the fire," as she praised their music together and encouraged people to stay home amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

Some of her fans made mention of their hit song, "Feel the fire." One fan shared a rare fact and exclaimed, "I was there!!! I was a little girl, but I remember!!! Such a great time!" Another fan praised her successful career in music and theatre.

According to

She made her big break was when she landed the coveted role of the original Dorothy on "The Wiz," which ran from 1975 to 1977.

Mills has performed hits such as "Home," and in 1981, she won a Grammy Award for the song "Never Knew Love Like This Before." She has mixed with stars like Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross.
