Old school R&B cats were some of the biggest gangsters\players ever......

Its kind of why the music industry doesn't push real R&B so much now... A lot of those brothers were uber masculine and virile minus the over the top c00nery

I don't think the media wants to display that type of black masculinity any more

Theres rumors in Motown that Marvin Gaye murdered tammy terrel.

I never heard that. She died from a brain tumor.

But there are rumors she was in several abusive relationships, one of them being with David Ruffin.

Tammi and Marvin were supposedly really close too.

dawg, this is pre-social media era.

There was all sorts of gangsterism going on back them.
