Hard 2 respect suicide. U would think a 75 year old man has seen and done it all, and could ride the bullshit out.
Unless he was in physical pain from illness or something….

Thats a good way out when you are 75 years old.
Speechless

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
At 75? Just hope it wasn’t financial.

Still saddened by the news of his untimely passing.

RIP Funky dude “… and you can bet your last money, it’s all gonna be a stone gas, honey! I’m Don Cornelius, and as always in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul!”
If u ain’t old enough to really remember soul train jus shut the Fuck up man. Seriously, wit the corny jokes too. R.I.P.
He had some serious health issues, he may have had dementia also. So he wasn’t in his right mind, I pray for his family.
if i remember correctly when they used to do stories on tv about soul train behinf the scenes they used to describe him as kind of a troubled dude.
dont remember the circumstances but RIP and thank you for all the work he put in just for black music to be in the position its in today.
