Millie Jackson
Gregory Porter
KC and Jojo (tentative for obvious reasons lol)

You put together a Stellar Tribute Roster...I'd delete 1 or 2 but other than that you get an A+...I was surprised Mainstream Media outlets like CNN & MSNBC acknowledged & paid tribute to Bobby...I was very surprised..

Well, a couple months after Sam Cooke's death, Bobby married his widow, Barbara, had a son name Vincent, same name as Sam's son, who drown in the pool at a young age.

Bobby got caught by Barbara, creepin into Linda's bedroom ,which ended the marriage.

Linda married younger brother Cecil Womack , who was married to Mary Wells, who had a long term relationship, with other brother Curtis Womack.

You gotta get these 2 books
