Jackie Wilson's personal life was full of tragedies. On February 15, 1961 in Manhattan, Wilson was injured in a shooting. It is said the real story is that one of his girlfriends, Juanita Jones, shot and wounded him in a jealous rage when he returned to his apartment with another woman, fashion model Harlean Harris, an ex-girlfriend of Sam Cooke.
Freda Hood, Wilson's first wife, with whom he had four children, divorced him in 1965 after 14 years of marriage. His 16-year-old son, Jackie, Jr. was shot and killed on a neighbor's porch in 1970 and two of Wilson's daughters also died at a young age. His daughter Sandra died in 1977 at the age of 24 of an apparent heart attack. Jacqueline Wilson was killed in 1988 in a drug related incident in Highland Park, Michigan. The death of Jackie Jr. devastated Wilson, and for the next couple of years he remained mostly a recluse, drinking and using marijuana and cocaine.
Wilson's second marriage was to model Harlean Harris in 1967 with whom he had three children, but they separated soon after. Wilson later met and lived with Lynn Crochet. He was with Crochet until his heart attack in 1975. However, as he and Harris never officially divorced, Harris took the role of Wilson's caregiver for the singer's remaining nine years.

Margaret Maldonado reveals in her book, “Jackson Family Values.” In 1974, Joe Jackson invited Cheryl Terrell who was in her early 20’s to a party he was throwing while his wife Katherine was away. After everyone left, allegedly, Cheryl spent the night with Joseph in his and Katherine’s bed. Cheryl got pregnant and informed Joe that she intended to have the baby. Joh’ Vonnie Jackson was born in 1974, the day after Michael’s birthday.
Although Joe placed his name on the birth certificate as Joh’ Vonnie’s father, he tried to cover his tracks to keep Katherine from discovering what was going on but it took a matter of days for Katherine to learn that there was a new baby girl in the Jackson family.
In the past, Katherine had always turned a blind eye to Joseph’s escapades but this time would be different. She told each of her children to have absolutely no contact with the mother or child. “If you see her or have contact with her, you are making what your father did okay and it is not okay. I will never accept that girl into this family.” Most of the children respected their mother’s decision with the exception of Rebbie.
Rebbie allegedly felt bad for the child and uncomfortable about her mother’s attitude. She began to check up on the child and a close relationship began to develop. Rebbie allegedly asked Janet to come visit the girl. Katherine discovered what was going on behind her back and confronted Janet who allegedly admitted she had met Joh’ Vonnie. Katherine told her never to see Joseph’s daughter again. The next time Rebbie called Janet to come visit, Janet allegedly said, “I’m sorry, but if it hurts Mother, I can’t come.”

I've been reading this thread while watching the game and this has to be one of the best threads in TLR.
A lot of these stories are wild as fukk & sad. Marvin Gaye's story is just tragic. A lot these celebrities posted I assume had a lot of demons to overcome and used drugs as an escape from reality. Reading some of those Rick James stories, let you know he was a REAL nikka about his shyt. That prison story had me like
how dude had clout & power the way he did.

The Detroit News has an interview today with singer Mavis Staplesabout the time a young Bob Dylan proposed marriage to her.
According the interview, Staples said she met Dylan when they were both teenagers and were often together when the Staple Singers were doing folk festivals. When they weren't together, she said, they would write each other letters and talk on the phone.
“One day after Bobby and I had just met,” she told the newspaper, “my father and I were standing in line to get lunch, and from way in the back of the line, Bobby yelled, "Pops, I want to marry Mavis." And Pops yelled back, "Don't tell me, tell Mavis.
“We went on into our 20s, and it was my fault that it stopped. I was so young I thought Dr. King might not like that, me marrying a white man. Later on, Pops told me that was foolish. He said, "Haven't you been listening to what that Dylan kid is saying — 'How many roads must a man walk down ...' Don't you see all the white people marching with us?

I guess neither can the 30+ people who dapped me can't be either
Funny how you came in a comical fun thread to be messy but I'm the negative one.
That Sam Cooke shyt was a setup.
Likely orchestrated by shady cac Allen Klein.
He blocked a movie about Sam Cooke for years because he didn't want people digging for the truth.
He also benefited the most after Sam Cooke's death.
It was the Pac/Suge shyt 30 years before.
Sam was about to toss Klein into the bushes because he discovered that Klein was working to steal his businesses from right under his nose!
Sam Cooke was the first African american to form his own independent publishing firm and constantly fought against major labels for his sovereignty
The FBI and Cointelpro had Sam under watch after he financed MLK March on Washington and his efforts to bring Malcom X and MLK together
