Just finished the series. Once again, the gd white man.
But I wondered what happened to Al Bell and looked up his wiki. The Brother rebounded like a muthafukka. Here's a short excerpt.
"After Stax folded, Bell returned to Little Rock.
[3] He voluntarily stayed away from the music industry for a decade, save for periodic participation in local recordings. In the 1980s, he became head of the Motown Records Group and worked closely with Berry Gordy Jr. in the sale of Motown to the MCA/Boston Ventures Group.
After Motown, he discovered the music group Tag Team and through his Bellmark Records label released their hit single "Whoomp! (There It Is)" (1993), which became one of the fastest-selling singles in the music industry history.[1] Bell also released Prince's hit single "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World", after Prince's label Warner Bros. Records turned him down.[1]"
