Magoo, half of the musical duo Timbaland & Magoo, is said to have departed for heaven. R&B musician Digital Black, real name Benjamin Bush, recently announced the terrible news of his passing on the social networking site Instagram.
He captioned an old photo of himself and Magoo, “Man can’t believe this RIH Magoo damn big bro wasn’t ready for this all #superfriends.” The precise reason for Magoo’s passing is unknown as of right now.
Let us share with those of you who are unaware that Magoo was born Melvin Barcliff in Norfolk, Virginia. He started playing around with music when he was a teenager. His work with Timbaland on songs like Jumps da Boogie, Welcome to Our World, and Deep In Your Memory, among many others, is what most people remember him for.
Additionally, Melvin collaborated with a number of well-known musicians, such as Missy Elliot on Beep 911 and Playa for Derma City (Interlude). In a previous interview with You Know I Got Soul, he disclosed that he and Timbaland, then known as Tim Mosley, first connected as kids in Norfolk through Larry Live. The remainder is history.
The same interview with You Know I Got Soul included Magoo discussing his commitment to perseverance and hard effort. He revealed his difficult early years at that time, saying, “We didn’t care about the celebrity. Since Michael Jackson was broadcasting at the time, the dream involved hearing yourself on the radio.
When was the band ‘Timbaland & Magoo’ formed?
Timbaland & Magoo was founded by Tim and Melvin in 1995. They had a contract with Blackground Records back then. In 1997, the team released their first studio album, Welcome to Our World, which went on to sell over 1.6 million copies.
In 2001, Indecent Proposal, their second album, was released. Under Construction Part II, on the other hand, which is their third album, was published in 2003. Their third record was meant to be the follow-up to Missy Elliot’s Under Construction.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the famous artist Magoo’s close friends and family at this trying time. May he rest in peace, his soul. Keep checking back with us for the most recent news from the entertainment industry.
