Did you say that? But seriously, there is a highly recommended authorized bio on him called "Fever" by Susan Whitall. It's worth reading especially if anyone wants to know about early R&B days.

I think Bobby Womack was the least craziest out of all the peeps listed on here.

Even though people mention that Ike was crazy, for obvious reasons, I somehow believe James Brown and David Ruffin got him beat. But by far, I think Wilson Pickett tops both James Brown and David.

Anybody who find that funny is a real cold individual. It's actually real sad. You can see in some of their shows the torment Tina went through.

I am not cold, I don't think Tina being abused is funny at all, BUT I still thought the last few seconds was funny.. Just like when people mock the lines "eat the cake." Not making fun of her abuse..

so chill out
