Oh really, can you hit somebody so hard that they get a tumour? Or what does the rumours say? That the brain tumour was not the cause of her death? Instead she died from a bleeding in her brain? What? Somebody needs to rewrite this section.
Some one definitely needs to include how she died. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.202.85.42 ( talk) 14:53, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
What does it mean to say "Terrell's relationship with David Ruffin was almost IRREPLACABLE"? "Irreplacable" is not a word. The word "irreplaceable" does not make sense as a substitute, since the sentence continues "[1], with some label mates and sources proclaimed that David Ruffin was responsible for Terrell's death". (Also, "proclaimed" is surely not the right form of this word, and "inappopriate" (from citation [1]) is also not right.) I'm not a wikipedia contributor, but maybe one of the 50 people who have worked on this page can do something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.54.183 ( talk) 04:18, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
There is no source given for the detail that Tammi Terrell collapsed at Hampden-Sydney College (not Hampton Institute) when she was performing with Marvin Gaye. The article on Marvin Gaye lists a source for the same detail, but the addendum on the bottom of the listed page actually says Hampton. Unless a definitive source can be supplied, it should be noted that the site of the concert is variably listed as Hampden-Sydney or Hampton.-- Aprjoy ( talk) 04:14, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Update. Ogden hall listed in the article is located at Hampton Institute. I do not believe there is such a hall at Hampden-Sydney College. I am an alumni of Hampton. All of the sources I have read on line seem to indicate that the concert was at Hampden Sydney. For Clarity Ogden Hall should be eliminated from the text. —Preceding

Are words like "hiatus" necessary? There seems to be far too many Americanisms on Wikipedia; isn't this a worldwide encyclopedia? 86.29.231.203 ( talk) 21:09, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
her EARLY years?? who captioned this photo? she died at 24! she didn't have "early" years, those were all the years she had. that caption looks ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.176.60 ( talk) 04:38, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
"Early" and "late" are relative. The first half of a person's life could be described as their "early years" no matter how many years they lived. Every person has "early years" and "later years" whether they die at 24 or live to be 151. ( 66.162.249.170 ( talk) 11:32, 13 August 2010 (UTC))
This article was started in 2008 and has so few references? For such a wonderful singer, that can't be right.-- andreasegde ( talk) 05:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
I have added a couple of books which can be used for refs.-- andreasegde ( talk) 06:08, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Some sources (like this and this) claim that she was married briefly to the boxer Ernie Terrell. However, others (like this) claim that they were not married, indeed did not know each other, and that she was simply given the stage name Terrell by Berry Gordy who thought that Montgomery (her true surname) was too long for bills. The biography written by her sister absolutely refutes the idea that she was married to Ernie Terrell. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 14:10, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Tammi Terrell/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.
The article is somewhere between stub and start. Short lead, uncited, needs expansion.--

I just have to comment on "contributed to the volatility". Only in Wikipedia. What a line. Understatement of the decade. Sullidav ( talk) 21:15, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
