We lost Chris Jasper yesterday. He was one of the younger members of The Isley Brothers. He was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. He was a very cool and talented brother who will be missed. Have a safe journey home Chris, on the “Caravan of Love”. 🙏🏽🕊️ #isleyjasperisley

I had actually forgotten about this video until it was posted all over the internet the last couple of days. I’m so grateful to have shared such a fun moment with Malcolm-Jamal Warner. He was a great kid and an Amazing man. His life may have been short, but his legacy is long.🙏🏽🕊️

So sad to learn of the passing of Chuck Woolery, host of ‘Love Connection’, and other game shows at the age of 83. Martin’s ‘Love Jones Connection’ where I played the host Deandre Simpson were inspired by Chuck Woolery. He was always so cool and a class act. RIP Chuck 🙏🏽🕊️
