James and his siblings left a legacy in the music industry as "the First Family of Soul," after a string of successful hits, including the '70s classic, "O-o-h Child."
He reunited with some of his bandmates after they went separate ways and formed the Invisible Man's Band, which released a disco hit, "All Night Long," ranking number 45 on the Billboard 100 in 1980.
The following month, "Saved by the Bell" star, Dustin Diamond, lost his battle with stage 4 cancer, three weeks after his diagnosis and at the young age of 44.
Oscar Award-winning actor Christopher Plummer, known for "The Sound of Music," "Knives Out," and "All the Money in the World," passed away a few days after on February 5.
Most recently, fans mourned the passing of radio host Rush Limbaugh due to stage 4 lung cancer. His widow, Kathryn Limbaugh, announced his demise through Rush's radio show.
Previously, Rush confessed his initial reaction upon learning of the diagnosis, but as a religious man, he turned to God for strength and guidance until his last days.
