  • #09: Murder in the Family - The True Crime Story of a Music Legend
    Apr 19 2025
    He was one of the most influential voices of a generation — a trailblazer in soul, funk, and R&B who redefined the sound of an era. With chart-topping hits and a voice that captured the struggles and spirit of a nation, he seemed untouchable. But behind the fame, the awards, and the legacy was a deeply fractured family dynamic… one that would lead to a shocking and fatal confrontation.

    In this episode, we unravel the harrowing true story of a musical giant whose life was cut short just one day before his 45th birthday — not by a random act of violence, but by the very person who gave him life. Join us as we dig into the complicated past, the signs everyone missed, and the moments that led to a tragedy that stunned the world.
