  He was only 56 - he was the youngest brother.
  
  He had one of those horrible cases of diabetes - kidney transplant, lost both legs, stroke, only had the use of one arm.
  
  ... as of last night they don't know the cause of death - I can guess =

In the 70's we knew the Isley's would come out with a smoking album every summer.

  I'm starting to think the rules are changing.
  
  They "used" to say celebrities died in 3's.
  
  The current line-up seems to have changed the rules, what, about 5 or 6 now?
  
  Times are 'a changin.
  
  Thanks
