#DexterScottKing, #CharlesOsgood, #MarlenaShaw, #Melanie, #MaryWeiss, #TheSoftMoon, #RIP
Melanie Safka was one of the really underrated and under appreciated singers of our time. She had some pipes.
Such a powerful, dynamic voice. She will be missed, RIP Melanie, the heavenly choir is enriched with your presence.
Loved her music. 😢
Keith Richards said Melanie's version of Ruby Tuesday was better than the "Stones'"
@@Catwallager He's correct.
I had the hugest crush on Melanie.
RIP Melanie and thank you for all the great music.
"Look what they've done to my song, Ma!"
The real meaning of those words hold up like never before!
Rest in peace Melanie! 🙏🌹🦋
One of the best tunes ever.
Great song . . . Ray Charles covered in '72!
Absolutely, those poignant lyrics from "Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma" by Melanie take on a deeper and more profound meaning as time goes on. It's a testament to the enduring nature of her music, and how her words resonate with different generations. Melanie's ability to express complex emotions through her songs is truly remarkable. May she rest in peace, leaving behind a musical legacy that continues to speak to the hearts of many.
RIP to all,thank you to all of those who served. Melanie's Lay Down, Candles In The Rain,has always been a favorite of mine.❤
My boyfriend was just singing "Brand New Key" yesterday. Odd that we heard today she died.
@virginiaconnor8350 I was a teen when that song came out,remember it well.
I still find myself suddenly singing old Melanie songs.
Brand New Key is such fun to sing
I completely have the same thoughts as you
A heartfelt sentiment indeed. Melanie's music, especially "Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)," has a unique way of connecting with people and leaving a lasting impact. It's a beautiful tribute to acknowledge and appreciate the service of those who have passed away. Music has a remarkable ability to unite us and evoke emotions, and Melanie's contributions to that connection are truly special. Thank you for sharing your favorite and paying tribute to those who served. May their memories and Melanie's music continue to resonate with us.
I was shocked to hear that Melanie passed away. I never saw or heard any mention of this on the news. She was a girl from Queens, NYC who was so talented and never received the accolades she deserved. Writing songs that were part of the history of Woodstock and that generation, certainly made her one of the legends of that era. So sorry to hear of her passing.
I knew about it. I read it in the Chicago Sun Times today.
1010 Wins out of NY mentioned it.
@@Perivale I don't listen to 1010 Wins as often as I once did, but since you heard of the sad news of the loss of Melanie on Wins I need to return to my habit of switching them on a couple of times a day. It is puzzling that the major News Stations did not mention her passing. She was an important part of American music culture and I am surprised that her passing was ignored by the MSM.
Everyone that remembers is gone! ( Not literally true ) But those that remember are older and more distant from the world now than we were then.
@@jonncockrell3606 Don't forget Melanie was a Baby Boomer. There were 80 million Boomers born between 1946 to 1964. The largest group of the American population in its' history. Still about 72 million (give or take a hundred thousand) are still a large percentage of the population. Besides that fact she was at Woodstock one of three women who performed there. She also wrote Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) that was written after her experience at Woodstock. She was a trailblazer and an important singer/songwriter. Her passing should have been part of the MSM News.
I still sing Brand New Key, it's one of the first songs I ever learned, I was 4 years old. God rest your soul Melanie. Thank you for the music. ❤
I was 16 when BRAND NEW KEY was popular...
When I was a child in the 80s, I was kind of the "leader" of our neighborhood group of friends. Everytime we went somewhere on our bikes, I would take the lead and 'Leader of the Pack' would be going through my head and I would pretend to "rev my bike" with the bike handles, lol. Thank you for the great memories that I never forgot because of that one song. R.I.P.
Lay Down - Candles in the Rain , Melanie's greatest gift to our era. 💝
Damn straight
The Woodstock song
RIP to those who have crossed over..and condolences to all who love them 🕊️🤍
The Osgood File, and especially CBS Sunday Morning and the signature sign off, "I'll see you on the radio ",were all trademark characteristics of Mr.Charles Osgood. He made the docu-magazine,Sunday Morning, an educational, entertaining Classic, a pleasure to get up for early on Sunday. Mrs Marlena Shaw was an exceptional singer-songwriter with the sultry hit ,"Go Away Little Boy ", and early television pioneer, Bob"Captain Kangaroo "Keeshan,with "Mr Green Jeans ","Mr Moose ",made the breakfast cereal taste pretty good. May they, and All the other persons memorialized here, Rest in Peace. 🙏🏾💔🙏🏾💙💚🖤❤☀️."See you on the radio "-C.Osgood
Bill Bixby was also a co-star of the TV show " My Favorite Martian "
I liked him in "Courtship of Eddie's Father", and The Incredible Hulk" too.
And The Magician. It didn't run as long as his other series but...
People loved him
@@robotrixI never had the pleasure of seeing The Magician. Being born in '69 I was fortunate enough to see Mr Bixby in The Courtship Of Eddie's Father, and The Incredible Hulk, among some guest starring roles.
I still love the theme song to Eddie's Father. ❤
@@virginiaconnor8350No matter how old Jodie Foster is or all the remarkable achievements and accolades she's earned in her decades in Hollywood, I still picture her as little Eddie's tom-boy best friend from that series. Even back then, it was clear she was destined for greater things.
He also had a show called the Magician and courtship of Eddies father and he was also the original HULK and you already mentioned My Favorite Martian
Awful news re Melanie,she had massive following here in England too. RIP
Charles Osgood was so enjoyable to listen to and watch. RIP
Rip Charles Osgood. We’ll always see you on the radio
He was a brilliant writer. He made the mundane and ordinary interesting.
His voice was awesome, he made you want to listen 😢
And a good piano player too 💕💕💜
I used to watch him on "Sunday Morning."
Now Melanie will be missed, my mother had a lot of her music in her personal collection, I would listen to it almost every week during the winter months in Alberta.
I wait for this Legacy program every week. Thank you for honoring these important people of current or past history accomplishments.
God bless you Melanie I'm going miss you but we still have your music
I will always be grateful to Norman Jewison for creating/directing one of my all-time favorite movies, Moonstruck. RIP all.
He had so many great films iver do many decades.
A Doris Days comedy like The Thrill of it All to the Fiddler on the Roof.
My favorite is the OG,
The Thomas Crown Affair...in addition the brilliant Moonstruck
In one of Norman Jewison's interviews he said of all his films Moonstruck was his favorite.
Jesus Christ superstar for me.
Sad to hear that actor Gary Graham of Alien Nation fame passed. Loved the sci-fi series. RIP. 😐
Also played Achilles in Robot Jox...a cool movie. RIP
Me too😢
I remember he played Jimmy Shine in The Hollywood Knights.
I remember him from lots of different roles, but the first one that popped into my head was from an episode of the TV show Moonlighting. He was in the first episode after the pilot. RIP 😢

Hearing the news that singer-songwriter Melanie passed away, my heart suddenly ached.
The flags in my heart are still at half-staff for you, Mr Sam Cooke. Your smooth voice, endless musicality, and sensitivity to the emotional undercurrents in America are still an influence. _"It's been a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come."_
Oh, no! When I saw her photo I couldn't believe it. The BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED Mary Weiss gone? Jeez!! That's sad! Sadly, the last of the Shangri-Las from Queens, NY is gone. They gave us great songs like: The Leader Of The Pack (a #1 hit), Long Live Our Love, Give Him A Great Big Kiss, the beautiful and poignant tearjerker: I Can Never Go Home Anymore and my favorite song of theirs: Remember (Walking In The Sand) a #5 hit. RIP Mary.
Actually, I believe her sister is the last of the Shangri-Las.
Incidentally, I only realized now how attractive she truly was.
Yes..her older sister Betty is still alive. She was an original member but left the group for a while when she became pregnant.She is very pretty too When she was young ,she bore a strong resemblance to Bridget Bardot.@DTD110865
Rest in peace Melanie. Thanks for all the wonderful music.
Marlene Shaw is famous for the song "Go Away Little Boy" & will surely be missed. Rest in Eternal Paradise
I had her album!
God 🙏 Bless you
....and "Runaway Love"
Got to see Topol in 2008 during his final tour in Fiddler. Still one of my fave films.
Losing Melanie really hurt....
Melanie had a way to make you pay attention to what she was saying with her quirky unique voice. I loved "Peace Will Come" and "Close To It All" along with pretty much all of her catalog.
I can't believe how long some of our favorites have been dead already.. sniff.
I'm barely getting over the deaths of Kirstie Alley and my favourite, David McCallum.
May all have eternal rest and peace. Thank you for an articulate and wonderful upload, al always. 🙏❤️🕊️
God Bless, Charles. The best of the best. Always such a joy to listen or watch, or your Programs.
✨✝️🕊✨
Nerene Virgen was a well loved Canadian personality... lovely woman.
I grew up with her as Jodie on Today's Special. What a personality she was.
Today's Special was one of my favorite shows in the early 1980s.
My girls love the show! Condolences to her family, friends, and her fans! RIP.Jodie..
I can’t believe she passed i watched episodes on CZcams :( todays special😢😢😢😢
RIP Dexter Scott King
RIP Melanie Safka , Great artisit!
Freaky to think Benny Hill was born 100 years ago. 'Perspective'
I had a bit of a freak out last autumn when I realized that in a year and a half (fall 2025), it will be 100 years ago that my father was born. That made me sit down abruptly, lol.
his show still plays on Antenna TV during the weekends although any nudity is blocked out lol. I remember watching it back in the 80s and it still makes me laugh today! It is sad he ended up dying alone in his home after he had entertained so many people throughout the world.
Just a few years ago, i was watching his shows on BBC, not knowing he died so long ago..he was so funny..😂❤
@@louisejohnson6057i know how you feel. My dad is 100 years old in this year 2024. Seems strange doesn't it?!!
Hearing the news that singer-songwriter Melanie passed away, my heart suddenly ached. Her famous song, 'Lost in Melody', is not only a wonderful piece of music but also an exquisite image of life and love. Melody has left us with an unforgettable memory, its profound melodies and lyrics are like a mirror reflecting our own journey. She will forever live in the notes and hearts of her fans. Melanie, rest in peace and know that we will forever cherish your love and respect for your talent.
It's so hard to listen to these, when we know how many of these young ones died 😔
NO🚫SPIKE 💉
Thank you for including military service. ❤
Dexter S. King, he looked so much like his slained father, more than any of Dr. and Mrs. Martin L. King Jr. children. So glad he was taking care of his father's legacy and making sure no one used his likeness without family permission. And continued with civil rights like his only sister left and big brother. This family like other families suffered greatly with the killing of a loved one. For wanting equality for All Americans
David Gail, still young, I followed his work since the beginning.
Mr. Norman Jewison, I enjoyed his body of work he did.
Ms. Marlena Shaw, great talent, and she was beautiful as well. In her early days I thought the young lady that played Jenny Willis Jefferson on the Jeffersons looked liked her, even in this thumbnail. One of my favorite songs is California Soul, the instrumental part I love as well. Whoever wrote the music to this song did a fabulous job
Love Melanie and her music. Condolences to family, friends and fans of all that have passed away and are on "their new journey ". Love and Prayers from Canada 🇨🇦 🙏✝️🕯
Overall, nice job at pronouncing the 'foreign' names in all of your videos. Especially in this case, Ewa Podles. You even got the accent mark over the 's'; I'm impressed! RIP to everyone we've lost.
Melanie's Lay down was my favorite of her songs. RIP
Mine as well !
"Today's Special" theme song played as a mystery tune (just melody) in my head for decades until the words came to me one day! I LOVED that show!!!
"Today's Special" was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid.
Same here.
Candles in the Rain! Love you, Melanie ! You were an incredible voice❤
Goodbye fellow Canadian, the masterful Norman Jewison.
And for Melanie, l still have her original 45 of "Candles In The Rain", which l've had since l was a kid.
Dexter Scott King, l am sorry you are gone, but l am happy you will be with your Dad forever now.
Thank you for another respectfully done installment.
🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
Oh no! Shawnacy Barber was so young, and he was such a gifted young man. My Canadian heart is heavy at hearing of his extremely untimely passing. My thoughts are with his parents and everyone else who also loved him.
To one of the `beautiful people`. Rest in peace Melanie!
Melanie?! I'm shocked RIP Melanie 💔
Moonstruck and In the Heat of the Night were such a great movies. May all who passed RIP 😪💔🙏
If you want to know more about Norman Jewison I highly recommend Ira Wells book, Norman Jewison, A Director's Life
Difficult to imagine it's been 16 years since Health Ledger. Such a senseless loss of a great actor. 🪻
Im so bummed about Melanie's passing....another piece of the soundtrack of my childhood.....its comforting to know artists such as Miley Cyrus recognize artist such as Melanie.....they did a duo together singing " Look What They Did To My Song"....nobody out lives mortality but, dog gone it😥😥😥😥
This is always so sad. May they all rest in peace, and hugs and love to the families and friends of all involved. I appreciate your video and your very comforting voice. I like this memorial channel the best because it doesn't drag out some of the memorials for each person. And it shows respect for each individual. Keep up the good work!
To all, rest in peace
You forgot Petty officer 1st class Christopher Chambers the other Navy Seal that died in line of duty with Ingram.
Oh my god Melanie was my idol !!! I was about 9 when we got her album “Gather Me” and I memorized every word on it !! My sadness for that time I enjoyed so much . She was beautiful inside and out ! RIP Soul Sister you brought so much joy to a point for me you will never ever know .
Gary Graham also was featured in Star Trek: Prelude to Axanar. He was also in at least one Fan Trek acting along side of Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols! I
Rest in Peace to them all, I still miss you, Sam Cook
Yes, we lost Sam way too young.
Who was humming 'Yakety Sax' when Benny Hill was shown?
Bless those in mourning, and love to all.
I met David Emge at Monsterpalooza in Burbank. He was exceptionally gracious, and a thorough gentleman. I hope his kind soul is truly at peace.
I was saddened to hear that Nerene Virgin, who played "Jodie" on the Nickelodeon show, Today's Special, died. I was a huge fan of the show when I was a kid, got the episodes from a collector, and still watch them sometimes. She also played Oscar Madison's (Demond Wilson) girlfriend on some episodes of The New Odd Couple.
Thank You for Sharing ❤
RIP Dexter King🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amazing as always!!!❤❤
Condolences To All Family Member's 🌹
Marlena shaw R I P ANOTHER GREAT HAS GONE😢

Didn't know marlena shaw passed,her go away little boy,was a sexy song!,was listening to it probably around 2 months ago RIP
rest in peace to every one we lost and happy heavenly birth day to my father january 31 ❤
I just watched the milli vanilli documentary on paramount plus the other night. Great watch for anyone wanting to learn more about Frank Farian (RIP)
Despite some the contraversial issues I think he was a man able to spot talent
My husband and I really enjoyed Dawn of the Dead and David Emge's performance was stellar.
Rest in peace Dexter Scott King
Loved the Benny Hill show
RIP Gary Graham 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
"Jimmy Shine" (Hollywood Knights)"
I was so shocked to see Melanie Safka's face in these photos.... she is a highly underestimated singer and song writer. My heart goes out to her fans and daughters. Oh, what a sad day...
RIP Gary Graham!! I will miss your posts, your humor and your music. Prayers to you and the family!
RIP everyone. There needs to be a serious discussion over the excess death in young people which there are statistics on. . Now watch you tube delete this because it is a no-no subject. 🙄
🤫 Careful what you say and write 📝. We can have no serious discussion here ?. This is CZcams, not the real world, rather the Disney version of it. Mary Poppins is always watching you !!!...
@@alancrisp1582 They want that. I am sad and disgusted with seeing so many go young. Gone in there prime with no known health problem before. Something is definitely not right. 😢
RIP to all. 🙏
"You got a pretty mouth"...Classic!😂
Nerene Virgin, the Polka Dot Door! For us Canadians, especially those in Ontario, it was great to see her mentioned. As kids, we would sing the intro song and guess which day it was. Imagination Day, was my fav.
I loved Melanie RIP
Melanie Safka.
R.I.P.
Goodbye
my Ruby Tuesday. xxx
RIP to Melanie, I still have her 45 rpm records LAY DOWN...plus BRAND NEW KEY which was her only #1 song. ❤❤😢😢
RIP Frank Farian. I love Boney M!!
Music industry had a bad week including another Woodstock performer leaving us. RIP.
God speed peace prayers ✝️🇺🇸 rest easy Mr Osgood you will be missed
Marlena Shaw . . . what a voice!
I loved the movie Moonstruck with Cher, and looked to see who was the director, Norman Jewison. It turned out he directed many movies I have enjoyed over the years and therefore is my favorite movie director. Thanks for the movie memories, Norman Jewison.
Benny Hill would have been 100 this year! RIP to all here!
Hard to believe it's been 4 years since Kobe's been gone
I always enjoyed Charles Osgood and The Osgood File.
OMG...I loved Melanie! May you RIP Melanie...I loved your song...and your message. ❤
On behalf of my friend Rachel Wolfe Giddings, RIP Charles Osgood. Her father was a cousin of Mr. Osgood, but she grew up knowing him as "Uncle Charlie". Condolences to the surviving family members of all those mentioned in this video.
I loved Melanie and "Lay Down" so very much. She was so talented. I will miss her. Beautiful voice!
I didn't see the Melanie death in the news. I grew up to Dad playing her, and of course, the wurzels doing 'brand new combine harvester' to Melanie's 'brand new key'. It's a real memory for me, down to the pink album cover. RIP all
Rip To KOMO NEWS 4 Cindi Rinehart I loved her sooo much 💕🌹😢 First time I met her I instantly fell in love with her

I knew Herbert Cowboy Coward since 1967 when he was our neighbor. He and my dad remained friends after he moved across town. He made a movie with Bill McKinny in 2006 called Dean Teaster's Ghost Town. I also worked on the movie. He was quite the character. He was also being treated for cancer.
