Robbed us of future Jimi classics, breh was about to experiment heavy with the Jazz genre. I can only imagine what he could've done with the Fusion movement:wow:

Jimi's music was going to be :wow: as he hit the 1970s.

But, his bytch ass manager wanted to keep the cash cow steady.

Jimi wanted to break away.

That's why his manager had him kidnapped and threatened his life.

Ultimately, he had Jimi killed.

It was the same thing with Sam Cooke. Sam Cooke was the first breh to be about his money and ownership in the music biz. Cacs weren't having that. They didn't want his example to spread.

In 1992, singer Billy Preston who was already facing drug and molestation charges involving a 16-year-old boy was also charged with sexually attacking a man he hired.

The newer charges involved a 38-year-old man Preston picked up to do work at his home. The charges included: One count each of sexual battery, assault with a deadly weapon-a knife and false imprisonment.

Deputy DA Loni Petersen said Preston bought the man to his home, tried to engage in sex and when the man refused, Preston told him he would drive him to a neighbor's home. She said he later stopped the car, locked the doors and assaulted the man.



Singer Natalie Cole says her mother's snobbery isolated her from other Blacks during childhood.

Cole recalled growing up in Los Angeles' exclusive Hancock Park section, where the Coles were the only Black residents. "When I got friendly with the (Black) people who worked for us, my mother was appalled. "She wanted us to interact with a different society-outside the house."

The singer also reveals that her mother's family felt that her late father, famed singer Nat King Cole, "was too Black for them."

"For a dark-skinned man such as my father to acquire a light-skinned woman such as my mother was a real important prize," Cole explains.

"Your status moved up. That doesn't mean that her family was all that happy about her marrying my father. He was too Black for them. Her mother was very socially conscious, and she didn't want my mother to get involved with anyone with too many Black characteristics, because then your children would look funny."

Cole adds, "It wasn't just my mother, it's the way many Black people are raised.





Mary Wilson (The Supremes)

Berry Gordy told her that she was "too available" to men:mjlol::mjpls:

Quincy Jones had allegedly scheduled Tina Turner a meeting with a director but she reportedly flipped out on him.

According to sources, she said: "I wouldn't do a black picture if I was dying!" It took me twenty years to get out of that black shyt and I ain't going back!"

Quincy was so shocked, reportedly, he couldn't open his mouth.

Quincy said at that time, nobody wanted to do a black movie.

Tina's rejection left the cast with no known stars (this was Whoopi's breakout film).

Whoopi allegedly made the following quote: "Tina Turner turns down the Color Purple and she does Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. All the while saying she's seeking credibility as an actress, give me a break!"
She was married to Ike Turner though....gotta figure that played a part

Apparently brother Malcolm couldnt satisfy his wife sexually and she was considering getting dikk outside..

Malcolm X's wife 'said he could not satisfy her in bed' | Daily Mail Online
  • Malcolm X wrote a letter to his mentor, Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad
  • In the note, which he wrote in 1959, Malcolm X confides about his personal life
  • He writes his marriage was failing because he couldn't satisfy his wife in bed
  • Letter is being sold by memorabilia web site for $95,000
Slain civil rights icon Malcolm X acknowledged that his marriage was failing because he was unable to satisfy his wife in bed, it was learned on Sunday.

The stunning revelation was made in a 1959 typed letter written by Malcom X to his mentor, Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad, according to the New York Post.

In the letter, X says that his wife, Betty Shabazz, complained that her husband had 'never given her any real satisfaction' and 'said to me that if I didn't watch out she was going to embarrass me and herself (which under questioning she later said she was going to seek satisfaction elsewhere).'

The letter reads: 'The main source of our troubles was based upon SEX.

'She placed a great deal more stress upon it than I was physically capable of doing.

In the letter, X says that his wife, Betty Shabazz (above), complained that her husband had 'never given her any real satisfaction' and 'said to me that if I didn't watch out she was going to embarrass me and herself'
'One day, she told me that we were incompatible sexually because I had never given her any real satisfaction . . . [She] outright told me that I was impotent . . . and I was like an old man (not able to engage in the act long enough to satisfy her) . . . Her remarks like this were very heartbreaking to me.'

The letter is being offered for sale by the MomentsInTimes.com website, a memorabilia dealer. The asking price is $95,000.


Malcolm X was a divisive figure in the 1960s famous for trying to empower the African American community with firebrand speeches during the height of their fight for civil rights in the United States.

A minister for the Nation of Islam, he was considered a great orator and a fierce advocate of black nationalism.
