September 27, 1936 – February 1, 2012
Sad news folks. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the legendary “Soul Train” creator and longtime host Don Cornelius has died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to the Times, there are no indications of foul play. He was 75 years old.
One time for the big homey … we want you back.

Sad way to start black history month.
Yeah, I wonder if that was done on purpose? I just don't know man…
We'll miss you Don. Your highly entertaining show demonstrated to white people across the country that "all black people can dance" is a spurious stereotype. Rest in peace.
Love, peace and soul!
I pray I never experience the type of pain and hopelessness that makes one even contemplate suicide.
Wow. RIP Don Cornelius…
Had no idea that it was an apparent suicide. Hopefully now he has the peace he apparently did not have here. RIP and Love Peace and Soul
greatest pop song ever.
