Hurt my heart when I read this. Godfather of Soul. He was a was a one of kind.

Just like when I heard about that sexy Luther.

edie :cry

I heard he had plastic surgery and it did not do well. Have you heard how he passed? A legend in his own time.

How sad!! The article I read on MSN said he was hospitalized for pnemonia, but that the cause of death was unknown.

You may be thinking of his 3rd wife: Adrienne Brown dying after plastic surgery.

"Adrienne Brown died in 1996 in Los Angeles at age 47. She took PCP and several prescription drugs while she had a bad heart and was weak from cosmetic surgery two days earlier, the coroner said."

He had a lot of extensive dental work done. He is from Augusta Ga, where I am from and they had a lot of stuff on him on the TV.

He had been looking pretty bad for the last couple of months.

Poor guy.

Truly a sad day, when he passed away.
