He was a good looking man [[in 1979 at least). It is obvious to anyone that this was done by BG to make Diana happy because T Boy saw himself as a performer, which he clearly was not. Motown did no promotion on the lp and few heard it. Many reviews were brutal.
To blame Diana Ross, or ANY ONE, for the death of someone else is truly cruel. To even suggest such a thing is inappropriate. T Boy's manner of murder speaks for itself. Diana has helped her siblings out many times but when someone is this out of control, you have to use a tough love after a while. She was in no way responsibe for this.
