Members DRW50 Posted September 22, 2021 Members Share Posted September 22, 2021 So sad to hear about Melvin Van Peebles. To be honest I thought he'd died a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 23, 2021 Members Share Posted September 23, 2021 Watermelon Man is a film that surprisingly holds up, in the realm of magical realism, especially when compared to other such films of that era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted September 23, 2021 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2021 No cause of death offered. The U.K. entertainment industry feels like it’s gotten hit hard this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted September 24, 2021 Author Members Share Posted September 24, 2021 Unclear if it would have made a difference here, since there were many different drugs involved, but users should invest in those fentanyl test strips, at the very least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted September 24, 2021 Members Share Posted September 24, 2021 Didn't his brother pistol whip her at Sam's funeral? Or have I gotten that all mixed up? Sorry, I hit my paywall limit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 24, 2021 Members Share Posted September 24, 2021 You can always copy/paste the url in archive.is There was no mention of pistol-whipping but she did show up with his protegé Bobby Womack, who apparently wore Sam's clothes, that she married four months later. The obituary also mentioned that she shot Womack when she found him in bed with her teenage daughter (who later married Womack's brother Cecil). The bullet grazed Bobby Womack's temple. A few people have expressed irritation for rehashing these details in the obituary, especially since the family hadn't publicly announced the death. Also, I had heard of the duo Womack & Womack but I didn't know that they were compromised of her daughter (who changed her name) and Cecil Womack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted September 28, 2021 Author Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 Those are some HITS she wrote. She also co-wrote “I Love Me Some Him” by Toni Braxton, which is a fave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
