News: The Kaos Effect Says Rest In Peace To Don Cornelius

An article by Senor Kaos Comments

DAMN! I must say I was in total SHOCK this morning when I woke up hearing the news that Soul Train founder and one of the coolest brothers on earth Mr. Don Cornelius was no longer with us. I was even more Shocked to hear that he took his own life. A 75 year old rich black man committing suicide? Doesn’t really sound right too me.

I hope Don is resting in peace, and we’ll send prayers to all his friends and fam. I’m honored to be a young brotha who got the chance to catch Soul Train while Don Cornelius was still hosting in the late 80′s/early 90′s. Check out this clip of Don putting the moves on Mary Wilson and then hitting the Soul Train line.

A true pioneer and visionary. He put African-Americans on TV and never sold out the culture. He created jobs, as well as memories that still live on 30 years later. He is the reason we still do the Soul Train line at every Wedding and Family Reunion today. We will never forget what you did for us Don. Until we see you again… Wish you much Love… Peace… And SOUL!!! R.I.P.
