LOS ANGELES — U.S. music impresario Don Cornelius, whose TV show Soul Train helped expose music acts like Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder to millions of Americans, died Wednesday of a gunshot wound, police said. He was 75.

“He did pass away this morning” at his home in the Sherman Oaks area, Los Angeles Police Department officer Sara Faden told AFP.

She said police responded to a 4:00 am call of a shooting, but Faden said she was not able to confirm U.S. media reports that Cornelius died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
