Members alphanguy74 Posted December 19, 2014 Members Share Posted December 19, 2014 Boxer Ernie Terrell passed awat today at the age of 75. Part of one of the most contentious fights in boxing history, losing to Muhammad Ali in 1967 in the Astrodome, making Ali angry by calling him "Cassius Clay" right before the fight. Making fun of him for changing his name. He lost after 15 brutal rounds. http://chicagosuntimes.com/news/former-boxer-ernie-terrell-dead-at-75-friends-say-fought-muhammad-ali/ He also had a short recording career, with his group Ernie Terrell and the Heavyweights, with his brothers and sister Jean, who went on the replace Diana Ross as lead singer of The Supremes, and racking up 4 millions sellers in the process. Here is a performance of him and his group, at 19:40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
