Black Celebrities Who Died With Litte Or No Fanfare

[Tony Soprano]

BROTHER GREGORY HINES!

I was just watching "A Rage In Harlem" the other day. That was one of his best acting roles. Hines was a helluva dancer too along with his brother.

What about the Godfather of Soul? he did receive some publicity, but not nearly the one an artist like him deserved, all those channels covering Anna Nicole should have been covering James, he took a back seat when all the Dumb Ass Anna Nicole drama was going down, Damn Shame!

r.i.p. to all mentioned ... yeah the godfather didn't get the send off he deserved.
i got pics of his funeral concession on my phone ... it should have been better

That's cuz JB ded with dignity. Anna Nicole remained a freakshow that is still unfolding even after her death. R.I.P. one and all. Let's not forget Michael Evans who starred as the original Lionel on THE JEFFERSONS. He also co-created the series "Good Times" and lent his name the the character of the younger brother on that show. Oh and by the way bro---"Funeral Concession?" What the hell is that? Like they were running behind the hearse selling snacks? No, it was a PROcession and JB's was worthy of a dignitary while Anna Nicole's was just tacky.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0263070/
