Motown singer Pervis Jackson, of the popular 1970s group The Spinners, has died. Jackson, whose voice can be heard on hits including “Rubber Band Man,” was hospitalized, suffering from cancer in Detroit . He was 70 years old when he passed on Monday.

Rapper is on Arizona ’s “no bail” hold

DMX 

The good news is that DMX will go at least a month and a half without being arrested again. The bad news is that he’s locked up in Arizona until his next court date in October after he was collared in Miami last week. X had missed a hearing on Arizona drug charges days earlier, later telling his lawyer that he’d checked himself into a Florida hospital for unspecified reasons. Cops later found the rapper at a Wal-Mart store where he was promptly picked up and then sent back to Arizona , where he’s listed on “no bail” hold. DMX has been arrested more than a half-dozen times on various charges this year.

My mom use to date Pervis Jackson; I remember when he would come by our house…she was unsure if she should attend the funeral, but I told her to go ahead because I remembered how generous he was to me as a kid. Hopefully she will go…meanwhile, I will always reflect fondly of those days when he would come by our house to see my mom–as well as sit me on his lap and gently sing a melody to me.

DMX needs to get it together; he should think about his kids who needs him. What kind of example is he setting for them? Repeated arrest is just unnecessary.

I am a struggling actor,singer,hoofer (tap ) I am 49 years old and I’ve been trying very hard for the past 25 years to become successful in the entertainment industry and I am so tired of hearing about these rappers that makes millions-despite their fortune or blessing they still want to be “all street ” and thuggish.
I feel as though that the system should make an example of his gangster thuggish ungrateful ass and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law-since he obviously doesn’t give a crap about the rules or law anyway.
When am I going to get my break-I’m tired of hearing about degenerates like him and others being so successful and they don’t deserve and appreciate it.

My condolences to the family of Pervis-I still to this day listen to old school r&b-the Spinners “could it be I’m falling in love ” always takes me back to j r. high school when I was infatuated by this girl.
