Remember Don Cornelius 4 years later today

Today will mark 4 years ago when the world lost the legendary Don Cornelius. Come post and reflect on the man who gave R&B a face on TV from the 1970s and beyond!

So was his Death declared a Suicide or did his Family just shut it down completely? I remember him saying that Dick Clark would tell Black Artists that if they appeared on The Soul Train Music Awards FIRST they would not appear on The American Music Awards...Dick was a Dick....

Don's death was ruled a suicide. And even today, I still have my reasonable doubts about that investigation.

The whole situation was so strange...What we'll never know is what went on between Don, his significant other and his adult kids...I think a lot was going on in that home...
