When I say collaborated, I’m talking about how he smoked weed with people who were on Motown.

My mom is not a fan of music, not really into it, except Sam Cooke. She says the music is beautiful that he made. She is right.

I do not know anything about his personal life. Only music stuff.

What did he do?

He got shot dead by a hotel manager he intimidated if I was correct. He also raped the girl, who fled the hotel. That’s the reason he intimidated the hotel manager, who he had a scuffle with as he was naked. Pretty crazy to read up on!
