He was so skinny but boy could he make music. He sure wasn't handsome either but he managed to get one of the most beautiful women in the world to marry him......

You might not remember his name; but if you remember the music....

He was married to Paulina (a famous model) for 30 years before they separated.

For all of us music lovers....

@Karie2022 I know and I waited but I didn't see it posted here.

Some people might not know his name but they do know his music.

I remember when he married that beautiful woman. Over the years she'd constantly be asked/teased about being married to him. She'd just be quoted as saying, "She just loves him". Ha!

Yes, I know it's "old" but, like I said, I didn't see it posted so I thought I'd let people know......I waited and no one else posted it so I thought I did.

If other's knew no one that I saw posted it. I'm very much a music person. I love music. I know there are a few here that are the same way.

THAT'S why I finally posted it.

I think there was a post; he was truly unique, and they say a gentle soul, I guess they were divorced or separated at the time of his death...she certainly was a great beauty back in the day!

Thank you for posting. I didn't take the time to read about it and forgot he was married to Paulina.

Paulina was his 3rd wife. Ric was still married to wife#2 in 1984 when he met Paulina on the set for the Drive music video. He was 40 yrs old and Paulina 18. He divorced his wife in 1988 and married Paulina a year later.

September 15...a week ago.

Weird.

Even if one is ‘just reading about it’.....I wonder where it’s being read.

All the news outlets have moved on...especially since it was a week ago.
