Hard to believe the massive human being she would become later in life (seriously she must've legit been over 300 lbs at her peak)

Y'all got me digging in the crates to see what stories I remember but the bolded shyt had me gone

In 1965, Terrell began a romance with then-Temptations singer David Ruffin. The following year, Ruffin surprised Terrell with a marriage proposal. However, Terrell was devastated once she learned that Ruffin had a wife and three children and another girlfriend, also living in Detroit. This led to the couple having public fights. Though it was later claimed that Ruffin had hit Terrell with a hammer and a machete, these claims were denied by Terrell's family and her Motown label mates, though Ludie Montgomery confirmed a story that Terrell was hit on the side of her face by Ruffin's motorcycle helmet, leading to the end of their relationship in 1967.
Elders say Marvin killed Tammy Terrell. Ruffin just beat her ass

That's how nikkas are man, they wanna be the special negro and get all the praise. They don't wanna see another brother/sister succeed. It'd a slave mentality.

If it was slave mentality nikkas would have been slaves to begin with..

That's what made me appreciate the Ray Charles movie even more.

They didn't make Ray out to be a hero. They just told his story how it happened.

Ray Charles was an a$$hole at times and very relatable at other times. nikka had his flaws and fukk ups on display it made you love him more for that.

Ray was blind yet still found his way to fukkery and heroin..i wonder if Stevie wonder got some stories about a dark side? :patrice: He too is from the Motown degenerate generation.
