Sad to see him go. Nutbush City Limits is one of my favourite songs. He made music for over 50 years and, as the article mentions, is sometimes credited with inventing rnr. RIP.

The man was really one of the all time rock/R&B musicians. Great session guy.

Good riddance! Men's hands are for feeling a woman not, battering her! 😏

He had one hell of a life that you never hear about. We always hear about him beating Tina. As a child he watch his father being lynched. All kinds of horrific stuff from his childhood. And you wonder why he had problems.

So he continued the cycle of abuse? Twice the man for not making the effort of change, and using his childhod as an excuse!! Good Riddance to him. I hope he died in pain! A man's hands are for sensually feeling a woman - not belting her about! I hope he had some back on his death bed ... 😳

Naw, he was in a very loving relationship with a young woman. I heard her talking a few weeks ago with Howard Stern and she was very satisfied with his sensuality.

One thing I can say about being interviewed by Howard Stern. You are a good bet to be in a death pool. Dana Plato, James Brown, Anna Nicole Smith, etc.

Were Tina's allegations of abuse substantiated, or do they remain mere allegations?

steady on there, is your hatred for the man based upon seeing the movie, or the movie plus some other stuff in the media, or did you know him personally?
i passed billboard outside a london venue recently and spotted his name as a forthcoming appearance for a moment i thought i might go see him, but then i remembered all the bad stuff from the movie and had second thoughts.

Are you defending Ike and saying it was lies?

Please advise.

My point was about the assessment of the value of someone's art being independent of the assessment of the artist as a human being. Your point about Hitler seems to be that if someone did some social good (creating jobs), this can offset the evil they do. It's a different issue. And besides, Hitler wasn't much of an artist.
