        Rap websites like globalgrind.com and hiphopwired.com are also reporting it. Still haven't seen it on legitimate print media though.

          Here, Sloww:



          According to Roland Martin, R&B singer Teena Marie has passed away at the age of 54. Martin cites Marie's manager, Mike Gardner.

          Philadelphia radio station WDAS, was the first to report the news; Chicago radio station V103 is also is reporting the death.

          Born Marie Christine Brockert, Teena Marie rose to prominence in the late 70s and 80s, striking a musical and personal partnership with funk legend Rick James. She released 13 studio albums, six of which went platinum on the US R&B chart. Two of her albums went platinum, and six altogether were gold.

          Marie's biggest hit came in 1984 with her single 'Lovergirl,' which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

            I'm seeing it hit more sites now. Apparently found dead in her bedroom and had seizures recently. I'm reading now that she was found by her daughters and had died last night.

            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teena_Marie , but no specifics yet. "Breaking News".

                Another one, Sloww.

                Bernard Wilson, 64, who helped define the Sound of Philadelphia as an original member of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, died early Sunday.

                Mr. Wilson, a North Philadelphia native, was part of the group's classic lineup during the early and mid-1970s that was responsible for such hits as "If You Don't Know Me by Now," "The Love I Lost," "Don't Leave Me This Way," and "Bad Luck."

                  Well, crap. Another that I have, The Essential Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes (2004), which has all those songs. All my people are dying.

                  R.I.P.

                    Well Teddy Pendergrass died in January so there's only one remaining original member of the Blue Notes alive.

                      Only two days left to get your team in.

                      I have roughly a half dozen posters claiming to want to play in the 2011 pool but have yet to submit a team...
