Carl Carlton — best known for his smash hit “She’s a Bad Mama Jama” — has died at 72.

The sad news was confirmed by his son Carlton Hudgens II, who announced his dad’s passing on Facebook … sharing a throwback photo of the late singer and writing, “Long hard fight in life and you will be missed.”

The cause of death hasn’t been revealed, but the passing comes six years after the singer suffered a stroke.

Carlton launched his music career back in the ’60s, later hitting the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 in 1974 with his cover of “Everlasting Love.”

Rob and Michele Reiner‘s son Nick has been arrested and is being held on $4 million bail, TMZ has learned.

The 32-year-old is in the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. as of Monday morning, according to online records. He was booked at the LAPD jail.

As we reported … the couple was found by one of their daughters Sunday with their throats slit inside their Los Angeles home.

Friends and collaborators, Billy Crystal and Larry David, were seen leaving the couple’s home Sunday evening looking very distraught.

An outpouring of tributes have come in following the tragedy, including those from Barack Obama, Stephen King, and Ben Stiller, among others.

Billy Crystal and Larry David showed up Sunday night at the house of their longtime friend Rob Reiner, who was stabbed to death with his wife Michele, allegedly by a family member.

TMZ obtained photos of Billy arriving at the Brentwood home of Rob and Michele after the couple’s throats were slit by a family member, possibly after a heated argument, according to sources with direct knowledge of the case. PEOPLE reported their son, Nick, is being questioned by police. LAPD’s elite Robbery Homicide Division is investigating the double homicide.

As you can see, Billy and his wife, Janice, appear sad and emotional, with Janice wiping tears from her eyes as the two left the area around where police roped off the crime scene. One neighbor told ABC7 that Billy looked as if he was about to cry.
