He should have been a millionaire. It's a shame the record producers got rich off of his hard work and he died penniless. It's a shame how the system robbed him. ☹

That's true, but it's only part of the truth. The producers moved him too fast into pop-type material, and his young audience couldn't get with this type of material. Also, his drug addiction gave him a bad reputation with the music industry later on. FInally, the producers separated him from the group, which also alienated his core audiences.
