In particular, members of the R&B and hip hop community were moved by the passing of an icon whose TV show introduced many of them to legends like Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson.

So sad. Don Cornelius was found dead of an apparent suicide in his home at the age of 75. I used to watch American Bandstand and Don on Soul Train. You wonder what goes through a person's mind in order to be so distraught that they can't go to anyone for help
