Teena Marie

Michael Jackson

Barry White

Gerald LeVert

Rick James

Roger Troutman (murdered at age 47)

Luther Vandross

Teddy Pendergrass

Curtis Mayfield

All of THESE^ deaths were within the last 12 years.

Isaac Hayes also.

But, many of them had health issues. The last 2 on your list had be paralyzed for some time when they passed.

Exactly! Plus Roger's death was due to a brother who didn't want his brother to leave the business. I don't know why people would go so far to say it's a conspiracy.

This list is indeed scary--especially if you are not that far from 50=makes you re-think your own health agenda... I so hope and pray that Aretha will recover!

People Just trying to find reasons why these legends are dying. Many of them had health issues. Some of them are young but the rest that are alive are much older and will eventually die from Natural causes.

Pictured above is Lady T on stage with her young daughter, Alia Rose. My heart aches for her.

To be honest I'm actually surprised Aretha has lived that long, she must have a guardian angel because all her issues (chain smoking for years, alcoholism, weight ballooning) could've killed a lesser person. I think it's partially due to her being a God-fearing woman who survived a whole ordeal. Or maybe she's just lucky but I do hope she makes a recovery from this. I'm still hopeful but as this point I'm at peace with whatever God decides for Aretha.

Because there was a rumor going around in London that he was a witch. Correct?

Exactly. Let's preserve the memories of these legends instead of going into some bullshit.

Me too.

Ain't this a bitch.

This time of year I can't help but think about my boy, James Brown. And in remembering him I found myself praying for Aunt Re-Re last night. And crying over Michael again, as I listened to the new CD. You never know when things like this are going...but they do happen.

R.I.P. Lady T. Soul Heaven just got a little bit more soulful.

Aaaaand, an annual fuck you to B.E.T. for the lack of proper tribute to James Brown, and for the shitty tribute they will do for Tenna Marie because they are just shitty like that.

Aaaaaand an advanced fuck you to the industry and the future "next-Teena-Marie" you will no doubt try to manufacture and shove up our asses.

Lady T

RIP.

I feel like Florida Evans on the 70's sitcom "Good Times", when Florida learned that her husband had died: "Damn, damn, damn!"

This, is indeed, true. I think she has good genes and a guardian angel... But I still hope she pulls through... Teena Marie was a dead shock for me! Bless her soul...
