did he just die now? why did i think he’s been gone awhile?
He died of colon cancer, he was 59 years old, way too young.
AP video on his passing:

He was involved in a real bad car accident back in the early 80’s. Didn’t hear much from him for a long time. Did make a small comeback a few years ago, but too many of the young kids were more into gangsta rap and didn’t care about good Motown. Too bad. He truly had soul.
