I used to love watching Soul Train. At 10, all I wanted was to be a Pip.

This never gets old.  This reminds me of my Saturdays in the 70s.

Badass.

So sad that he came to this point.

Sad he committed suicide.

Good he didn't take anyone else with him though.  That seems to be happening far too often lately.  

75 y/o.  Hmm..financial woes or was he sick?

Either way..agreed, sad.  :-\  

I watched Soul Train every week.

RIP

Cornelius' voice was awesome . I wanted to talk like him when I was a (lily-white, blue-eyed white) child.  So smooth.
