10 Soul Groups That Destroyed Each Other Over Money

They sang about love in perfect harmony. Behind the scenes, they were destroying each other over money. This video counts down 10 soul groups whose stories didn't end with the music. They ended in courtrooms, in poverty, in lawsuits between brothers, and in cold silence between people who once shared a microphone. The contracts were crooked, the names were stolen, and the checks never came. And most of these stories have never been told the way they deserve. From New Edition walking away from a number 1 record with 500 dollars, to Florence Ballard dying at 32 on welfare while the name she invented kept printing millions, these are the human costs behind some of the greatest records ever made. Every song on this list still sounds like love. That was always the tragedy. If you believe these names deserve to be remembered, subscribe to R&B Wonders and hit the bell. New videos drop regularly, and every single one is a story history tried to bury. #RnBWonders #ClassicSoul #SoulMusic #RnBHistory #TheSupremes #NewEdition #TheDrifters #FlorenceBallard #SoulGroups #MusicHistory
