Tha Godlover

Thomas Autrey (c. January 1937 – October 19, 1972), better known as Tha Godlover (originally spelled The Godlover; presumably spelling mistake), was an American controversial musician born and raised in Garland, Texas. He formed Flabby Tabby Band around December 1964 along with Johnny Reiter. The band released their debut album some year later, entitled Wackin and Tacklin. They became the most controversial rock band of the 1970s, undeniably, and were banned from numerous radio stations.

Personal life
Autrey had no wife or kids according to later research. Allegedly he had an affair with another band members sister.

Death
Autrey was shot and killed by Texas police officers in October 1972 after he allegedly stabbed a woman for taking his medication. The woman later revealed that Autrey initially spat on her, which instigated a fight. Police responded with nine gunshots after Autrey had attempted to attack one of them. He fell to the ground and was taken into custody where he died of blood loss.
