Removed suspected vandalism

Removed a line at the end of the Life/Work section that said "He is now dead". Tante 16:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

His career certainly is, however that statement is inappropriate in an encyclopedia, so good work. I wish he was still performing; Ingram, Peabo Bryson, Freddie Jackson, and Jeffrey Osborne are certainly talented vocalist, they just never achieved super stardom. K.H (talk) 03:47, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The death of his career has been exaggerated. He still performs (though much of it is Gospel now). Musdan77 (talk) 03:20, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Format

It appears to me that the beginnings of common words in the infobox, such as instruments and genres, should not be capitalized, so I hope you don't mind me editing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onlyaguy (talk • contribs) 01:32, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. There are some exceptions, but usually they should not be capitalized. Musdan77 (talk) 03:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:James Ingram/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I graduated from high school in 1970 with James Ingram and I was born in 1952. If he were born in 1956 he would have been 14 in 1970 and although he may be smart, he was not that young for sure! I also went through elementary and Jr. high with him so I'm sure about the age. 58.216.240.238 (talk) 15:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. DannyS712 (talk) 04:41, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of death

Here, I cited the brain cancer cause of death to Richmond Free Press. However, most other sources (e.g.,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]), which are all in the day or two after death, attribute it to TMZ (who attributes it to unnamed sources close to him) or don't state a cause at all, some specifically stating that no cause has been announced. L.A. County Coroner does not have it, either because it is not a coroner's case (likely) or because it has not been announced. I can't seem to find a corroborating, reliable, independent, source. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 19:15, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
