The star has been an R&B favorite for three plus decades, singing songs that often reflect the emotions of life, including hurt and pain, which became unthinkably real for the singer this year when his daughter, who struggled with mental illness, joined the growing ranks of young African-Americans who take their own lives. He opens up about the tragedy and what he’s doing to cope, including a song he created, in the wake of his daughter’s death, to help those going through dark times.
