^^^ There are several versions floating around the Internet. At the time it was quite shocking news. Who can say for sure, other than that he was not with his wife; he was shot three times; and the death was ruled "justifiable homicide" based on the facts presented.

I wasn't there. I only know that we lost an incredibly gifted man that night. Listen to the gospel recordings and tell me what you think.

I remember reading that it was over another woman. Al Green's wife did him in too over the same thing.

Are you referring to what happened in 1974? That incident involved a girlfriend. Last I checked, the Rev. Al Green is very much with us, and glad of it am I! (it's Sunday morning and we have four hours of gospel music on KXCI. You can live stream it, kxci.org. It's one of a handful of community radio stations, not PBS, but true community supported, in the United States. Amazing programming.)
