That happens on Tuesday and Wednesday, too, as well as on Thursday and Friday. You might know what day Mom goes to the grocery store. You undoubtedly know what day your favorite TV show is on. And you always know what day it is when you have lessons or practice.

Saturday is a day to play outside, but if your house is like a lot of others, “Sunday is for God,” as you’ll see in the new book by Michael McGowan, pictures by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher.

The former Temptations front man Ali-Ollie Woodson has died following a battle with leukemia. The singer, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, passed away in California May 30, according to Motown Alumni Association President Billy Wilson. He was 58.

Born Ollie Cregget in Detroit, Woodson began his career as a member of Bill Pinkney’s Original Drifters in the early 1970s, but he rose to fame as a member of the Motown quintet in the 1980s, joining the group as a replacement for Dennis Edwards after he was fired in 1984.

ALI-OLLIE WOODSON—At 58, Woodson had previously contributed in the single “Treat Her Like a Lady” and went on tour with Aretha Franklin.

He co-wrote, co-produced and sang lead vocals for the hit single “Treat Her Like a Lady” but left the band in 1986. However, Woodson returned in 1988 for an eight-year tenure before quitting again after the release of the group’s 1995 album “For Lovers Only.” He reunited with the band in 2002 for a Japanese tour, stepping in for Barrington ‘Bo’ Henderson after he was forced to skip the trek due to visa problems.

Marvin Isley, the youngest of the Isley Brothers died Monday June 7 in Chicago at the age of 56.

The cause of death has not yet been announced, though Isley suffered from diabetes severe enough to have caused him to leave the group in 1997. Later, his condition led to the amputation of both legs.

MARVIN ISLEY

He will be remembered for the resilience and power of his bass work, which, for one thing, formed a crucial hook in the undulating ’70s hit “Fight The Power.” The bassist also played on the smash “Who’s That Lady?,” as well as on prominent songs like “For The Love Of You” and “Harvest For The World.”
