I read about their marriage a few years ago but looking at Boogie Down videos I'm not surprised. They seemed to have a lot of chemistry. | |

I thought their marriage was common knowledge at the time. They certainly didn't keep it a secret. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

My cousins in the Midwest never knew until I told them...lol When KRS was living in a shelter, she was one of employees there, I think that's how they met.. RIP Ms Melodie | |
