This could rightfully go into the Motown forum, since he served as its CEO for a few years.
A massive loss to hip hop and R&B. Well done.

Yes, that is true. He was Motown's CEO in the 90s and I was jealous! LOL! I did include and announcement about his and Richard's death in the DRATS forum with pictures.
