Rumors,feuds,and scandals from Old Black Hollywood

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.

R&B singer, Joe Tex

, best known for his hits “Skinny Legs And All” and “Ain’t Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman)” had a bitter rivalry with James Brown

that went beyond simple diss tracks. At one point the feud became so heated that James Brown attempted to murder Tex with a shotgun, reportedly wounding six or seven people in the process.


That time James Brown tried to murder Joe Tex with a shotgun

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

Damn..Sam needs a biopic...he was all over the spectrum...

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?

what kind of man is her father to say something like that to her?

Sam Cooke had a life worthy of a motion picture.

He should have been one of the first Black legends to get a movie. But, as I mentioned, Allen Klein blocked any efforts to make one. That cac didn't want anyone digging around or asking questions. Klein was connected to the shady mob world.

Sam Cooke was about to fire him. Sam realized that Klein, with the help of JW Alexander, was stealing his business from right under his nose.

Klein had Sam killed.

A few years later, Klein orchestrated the breakup of the Beatles.

Jimi Hendrix's manager had him killed as well. Jimi was trying to go his own way. Manager wasn't having that.
