Minnie Riperton's voice was so angelic, I'm pretty sure even the birds stopped chirping to listen!

I know some people don’t like the candle. I think the candle in the middle is very nice.
Donnie Hathaway was one of the greatest male vocalist of all times. Greatly missed and appreciated. RIPP Donnie Hathaway.

Joan Blondell was really pretty in her day and she went to college in my hometown for a while 😊
Thank you for putting this video and others together. Great remembrance. I really like the music. The music that you choose is very moving.
Thank you for including Thurman Munson. He was my baseball hero during my youth. I was 14 when he died. It broke my heart. I will never forget him. God bless.
Great selection of music. Excellent video. Thanks for the description of Uncle Joe from Petticoat Junction, I didn’t know his real name.

Even in silence, Lurch's presence spoke volumes. A true legend in the TV world.
*JOAN BLONDELLE* nice actress and attractive woman. =)
So many wonderful people
As the decade wound to a close Jack "The Tin Man" Haley and Darla "Our Gang/ The Little Rascals" Hood each slipped quietly away into cinematic immortality. John Wayne. Zeppo Marx. Mary Pickford. So many celluloid luminaries slipped away that year. It almost seems absurd to put Sid Vicious among them all, but, yes, he too is a legend.

It's always bittersweet to see legends leave us, but their work lives on.
I read somewhere that Edgar Buchanan was a dentist before going into show business.
Minnie Ripperton's Daughter is SNL Actress Maya Rudolph who played the wife of Chris Rock's character in the Grownups movies with Adam Sandler.
RIP to them all 😢❤
Don't get rid of the candle it's nice
Joan Blondell and Merle Oberon were very attractive women
It's always interesting how some of these people were at the end of their natural lifespans, and thus achieved their peak celebrity even decades earlier, and yet I know who they were. And then there are the ones like John Wayne who have been gone for almost 50 years now and yet retain a significant part of their fame and popularity. And then the ones, like Thurman Munson or Sid Viscous, who with a little different luck or life-style, could still be alive all this time later.

It's fascinating how some celebrities' legacies endure long after they've passed away.
R.I.P. we all gotta come that way...🙏
MINNIE RIPERTON, VIVIAN VANCE CANCER SUCKS . REST IN HEAVENLY PARADISE LADIES . DONNY HATHAWAY WHAT A VOICE .
That is not a photo of Zeppo Marx.
I love watching this, it reminds me, only famous faces die in the USA.

Do know whose photo you have for Zeppo Marx but that is not him.
Many of these deceased were born in the prior century.
