Wow, indeed. Very sad. I will never understand how someone can feel so lost or so despondent that he takes his own life. I know it happens and it is truly sad that people can feel that it is the only solution.

As a teenager growing up in Detroit in the early-mid '60s, we were huge fans/followers of the early Motown scene: Stevie as a child prodigy, Smoky, Martha and the Vs, early Supremes, and on and on, and on. For us, hitting the ol' Grande Ballroom as the 3 or 4 pink faces in the crowd was never a problem, or 'unusual' to us...my kids didn't have that very mixed situation growing up early on, but I 'trained' them on Soul Train, in the '70s/early '80s.
Cornelius was a genius at that 'package', and gave some well deserved exposure to keeping those genres in front of America's viewing audience, imo. RIP... Cornelius and a young Aretha 2006

TMZ reported:
Don Cornelius died with 2 life insurance policies worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the ex-wife he hated will get all the money ... TMZ has learned. Don's breakup with Viktoria Chapman Cornelius was brutal. He was convicted of domestic abuse and, according to him, she pepper sprayed him multiple times. During the divorce in 2009, Don said in legal docs obtained by TMZ, 'I am 72 years old. I have significant health issues. I want to finalize this divorce before I die." The divorce was indeed finalized later that year, but there's a provision in the settlement agreement that says Don must make Viktoria the beneficiary of both of his life insurance policies -- totaling around $300,000 in benefits. Under California law, if a policyholder commits suicide within 2 years of the time the policy is issued, the company can deny payment. But Don had the policy for more than 2 years, so Viktoria -- the woman he despised -- will get the loot.
