Craig's biological father is Raymond Hill. When Tina joined Ike's band she began dating Raymond Hill, a saxophonist in Ike's band. Ike and Tina were just friends. Tina and Raymond even lived with Ike and his common law wife Lorraine Taylor. Raymond was allegedly abusive and he left Tina when she was pregnant after members of the band jumped him. Tina was only 18 when she had Craig in August 1958. Lorraine had Ike Jr a few months later. Tina became pregnant with Ike's baby Ronnie at the same time that Lorraine was pregnant with his son Michael in 1960. Ike adopted him after he married Tina in 1962.
It's sad that all of Tina's children are troubled. Craig seemed the most stable. I haven't read about him having drug issues like his brothers. When asked about her sons in an interview earlier this year Tina said things are not good. Tina's adopted son Ike Jr said in a recent interview that she has a trust fund set up for her sons but she doesn't communicate with them, so while has financially supported them, she seems to be an emotional absent and distant mother. Tina has also said she never felt loved by her own mother either. To Tina's defense she traveled a lot to perform when they were kids so they were raised by nannies and she has said she regrets not being more present during their childhood. Tina was closest to Craig out of all her sons, he was the only one at her wedding in 2013. I hope this tragedy brings them closer together as a family. Craig had no children and never married. I hope Tina mends her relationship with her surviving sons and grandchildren. RIP Craig [Edited 7/5/18 17:31pm] "we make our heroes in America only to destroy them" | |

So sad to hear about this. I can only imagine what it would be like to lose a child. Especially a first born. And especially at Tina's age. [Edited 7/5/18 19:03pm] Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon. | |
