The soul sonic force known as Don Cornelius passed away on the morning of February 1 in Sherman Oaks, CA at 4am from a self-inflicted gunshot. The loss of Cornelius sent the world into shellshock this morning and it continues the tragic trend of the Soul community losing our legends at a crippling rate. His transcendent impact on Black culture and the world at large throughout the 1970s and 1980s was immeasurable. To call him simply a luminary does a great disservice to his contributions. He was a trendsetter, icon, and a barrier breaker.
