Correction: The second time our narrator said actor Larry Sellers' last name, she mistakenly said Sanders. This was an unintentional error and we apologize for the mistake.
THANK YOU, BE BLESSED!!!
🙇🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️💝💝💝🕊🕊🕊
"Nobody's perfect." Spock
HOOOW did she make that mistake.
Glad for apology….so sick of names and other things changed for political purposes…glad to see mistake recognized and I am done with the subject.
Be glad that you do not live in the German speaking area, you would have properly lost your job there, because in that area, everybody has to be perfect! You even get "rippet apart", if you have a little mistake in the comment section. Because of this and many other reasons I left that German speaking area.
For me it was always: Nobody is perfect. Thanks and I came for all here because of this particular actor. I loved his work as "Cloud dancing" in "Dr. Quinn". Thank you Mr. Sellers and R.I.P. You ride with the comet Leonard. At least I heard about your passing, as the comet was coming more near. ❤️
I loved Larry Sellers acting best as Cloud Dancing on Dr. Quinn. You will truly be missed, Larry. You were an outstanding and brilliant actor. 💔
Rest in peace !!!
I always thought he deserved major awards for that role.
I loved his soft spoken voice.
Beautiful soul.
I loved him in that role. I understand he was really a Native American.
@@gloriapinskerportraits4801. Yes he was. He was also the Native American consultant for the show Dr. Quinn
Loved him as Cloud Dancing also.
Aw, Cloud Dancing passed. I watch Dr. Quinn every morning. RIP Larry Sellers. You will be missed.
My Mom Sarah A. Shirvinski Long Died on 12 ,12, 2021 and she was born in 7, 7 ,,1931 of the age of 90 and she is just as great these lovely people !

Beautiful comment ,and so true 👍 ❤ 💯
We lost way too many good ones this week. Mike Nesmith's passing was so hard. Micky Dolenz is the only Monkee left.
Anne Rice was a sad shock. I read her Vampire Chronicles. They were amazing.
Mexican Elvis has left the building. You will be missed, Chente.
Larry Sellars passing was particularly heartbreaking. I loved him as Cloud Dancing. He was a wonderful actor.
We are losing the great ones left and right, and we're being left with nothing but rubbish. What a major tragedy.
Ecclestonsangel, thank u for saying that Micky Dolenz was the only one left of the Monkees I wasn't sure if anyone was left from the four
@@video198712 yes, afaik he's the only one still alive. I'm bummed. I grew up on their music, and caught one of their reunion tours in the late 80s. It was great!
I sorry to hearing that Michael Nesmith from the Monkees has passed. I remember listening to the Monkees growing up in the 60s.
I clicked because of "Cloud Dancing"...really liked his role on Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman
Prayers for the tornado victims
I didn't know that Larry Sellers aka Cloud Dancing had died. I loved him on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.
Mike Nesmith RIP 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌 ☹️ 😔!
So did I oh wow
So sad about, Larry Seller's, to me he will always be (cloud dancing) !!
I can't believe Michael Nesmith has passed away. One of four members of the Monkeys. I still listen to their music and watched their show as a kid. I hope he's taking the last train to Clarksville. He was a pioneer to music videos. We lost a real class act. RIP Michael Nesmith - gone but not forgotten.
I love The Monkees! I can't believe they're all gone now except for Micky Dolenz! 😢

I'm sad about Larry Sellers passing. He was a great actor, & when he played Cloud Dancing on Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman it broke my heart to see what his character went through. 😭
I'm also very sad about the death of Larry Sellers 😢 I like him very much as Cloud Dancing. Rest in peace, we will miss you❤️ and never forget
I'm another who enjoyed Larry Sellers as Cloud Dancing. The first time I saw him, I thought: now that's an honest face. Loved his inner calm.
I knew Larry Sellers personally when I used to work on the set of DQMW,he was always sweet and kind,he will be missed.
BettyWhite!RIP!
@@jeanbaumgartner4052 tf!
@@jeanbaumgartner4052 liar, that’s not cool. 😜
Always liked the Monkees, didn't know that Michael was a veteran. Thanks for your service Mike!!
That was surprising and I thought I knew pretty much everything about the Monkees
In the footage of Nesmith's screen test (which I'll bet is here on YT) he mentions the story of how he managed to flip over a General's plane while parked but won't go into detail.
I'll treasure the memory of seeing him and Micky tour that last time. RIP
He also invented MTV
@@lovinmytunes05 Well, he put MTV on the map as it were because of his first Music Video
@@robotrix I heard about that, he told the story with somewhat of a straight face
Michael Nesmith was a consumate musician/producer/video artist. Papa and the Sweet Young Thing shed a tear for him.
I live in Tennessee. The past week has been heartbreaking. We lost a lot in Tennessee but Kentucky lost so many. They finally located the last victim there. She was a teenager whose entire family was killed seven people. It's just so sad. Where I live we truly got lucky. I just sit here and prayed mostly for my family. I was so afraid for all of them. It was terrifying to watch the weather and hear the wind and storms outsidel. As afraid as I was I can't even imagine what the victims went through before they died. Thank God none of my loved ones were hurt but so many others weren't so lucky. 💔💔💔😥😥😥
Wow, I didn’t know that Mike Naismith had passed. We have now lost 3 members from the popular and very funny Monkees show. I loved watching this shows reruns growing up in the 70’s. RIP Mike and every else who’s being remembered.
I just saw him and Micky Dolenz in concert November 9th in St. Louis.
*Nesmith
@@juneberry1982 Maybe he meant Laurence Naismith
@@juneberry1982 Thought it was pronounced Nee-smith., not Nes-smith.
@@virginiaconnor8350 I don't know what that has to do with my original comment but anyway Nesmith is pronounced Nez-myth.
I had the BIGGEST CRUSH on Mike Nesmith growing up...rest in peace Mike
My heart actually broke due to the passing of Mike Nesmith. Now 3 people from one of the greatest bands of all time are gone. The world really sucks now.
I Had The Great Priveledge to Meet Mr. Larry Sellers some Years Back in Jefferson City , Mo. He was A Dear Sweet Man who Took A Picture With Me. A Very Kind Man and Also Such A Gifted Actor. My Heart is Sad of Hearing of His Death. Rest In Peace Larry Sellers and All Of You Fine People.
I'm really sorry to hear that Mike Nesmith passed I really liked him and his music miss him terribly
RIP to all. Especially heart broken about Larry Sellers. 😥
Me too. 😭
Yup !!!
Mike Nesmith was also a pioneer in music videos, even before MTV.
Thank you for honoring those who have passed and those who have served our country. My thoughts and prayers go out to the tornado victims and those who have passed. 🙏❤
We all have a story..I always learn something here. Losing my baby brother a few months ago has been hard. We were adopted at an early age, thus not growing up together. But from a distance we knew he fought demons most of his life. I appreciate this channel being here.
I had no idea Bell Hooks died. I read her works in graduate school. She was a wonderful writer.
Rest In Power dear lady
As a kid love to listen to the Monkees on the radio and on Saturday's mornings watch their show. Only have Mickey Dolenz left. Damarius Thomas was a shock to hear he passed. What a great player very talented. Remember the catch from Tebow that won the Bronco's game against the Steelers.
R. I. P. Larry Sellers, you will be missed
You wii be missed !!!
The Unser family had a lot of tragedy. Very unfortunate. Michael Nesmith was an idol of mine. He toured with Mickey Dolenz till a couple months ago.
Our hearts go out to all the families of those who are on the other side of life. I hope that Micky Dolenz will be able to visit the grave sites of Michael Nesmith, Davy Jones and Peter Tork one day and celebrate being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They well deserve to be there.
🙏🏼⚘♥️🙏🏼⚘♥️🙏🏼
Larry Sellars and Mike Nesmith. Rest in Paradise.
I want to Express my condolences, to each and every family that lost their loved one(s), this year. The past couple of yrs have been tough ones. Let's pray that 2022, is a better one.
RIP 💐🌻✡✝️🦋
C.K. Dexter Haven .December 14, 2021. Beloved friend, cat , 10 years old. Unconditional love, trust and love.
C.K: you have left my life but will never leave my heart. When you took your last breath was the day my world went dark.
I never missed the Monkees on Saturday, Mike being from Texas, was my favorite. And Ann Rice was one of best authors in my opinion.
All death is sad, I’m profoundly sad to hear just now of Anne Rice passing. I had read all of her monster novels( they weren’t all vampires! She had a way of making you think of God and the nature of good vs evil without you even being aware of it RIP To All
R.I.P Demaryius Thomas such a great NFL player gone too soon!
God bless you always Cloud Dancing
He was my favorite Indian actor character!
@@vivians9392 mike n was my favorite white character.
Mike took the Last Train to Clarksville. RIP
Going to the "Silver Moon". (Check out that song if you've never heard it.)
That was the only song I liked of theirs.
He'll meet us at the station some day.....
I loved this actor Larry summers- cloud dancing. He was a great actor!
Rest in Peace to all the Departed.
Anne Rice my favorite writer may you RIP! I waited on line for hours for her to autograph my book! My joy was to meet her!💔
They're supposed to be making either a movie or tv series based on her "Witching" series. Will have to be cable to do the books any justice.
Cara Williams was the mother of Drew Barrymore's half brother . Most famously she at one time was considered as the successor Lucille Ball as the TV queen of comedy .
Anne Rice was an incredible talent. without her, there is no Twilight.
#karma
We would’ve been just fine without Twilight.
@@CaptainCock-Strong All dressed up and no where to go. Her temporary faith was like that of sand. Instead of giving up her faith, she could've become Episcopalian-as that church accepts the LGBT crowd-instead if forcing the Roman Catholic Church to accept her son and losing her religion. I used to be Lutheran and joined the more Orthodox Anglican Catholic Church.
@@virginiaconnor8350 Religion is the wide road of damnation; not salvation.
Salvation is by faith. Not by a church or synagogue. Faith in God requires no religion.

May Michael Nesmith RIP, a great actor that was on the monkeys .I remember him in1972when I was 6 on the monkeys show.
Great job Legacy! May they all rest in peace~
Life is so short and so fleeting.
Thank you for your CZcams channel and remembering people who are not celebrities. Watching from New Castle, Delaware - thank you.
Grateful that we had these people to entertain us and shape our world. Thank you for your contribution. May you all RIP.
Micheal nesmith was my favourite Monkey I thought he was cute ! So shocked to hear of his passing ! 💞😢💞
I loved “Pete and Gladys”as a kid. Pete was played by Harry Morgan ( from “ Dragnet” and “ M*A*S*H “ ).
CAN' T BELIEVE THAT MIKE NESMITH HAS PASSED AWAY ,I LOVED WATCHING THE MONKEYS TV SHOW BACK IN THE 1960's R I P MIKE .
I wished I could write songs like Mike Nesmith, that'll never happen. I'll have to say though out of all the songs he wrote, "Different Drum" is my favorite and as soon as I found out he had died, I played that song over and over a few times in absolute awe. R.I.P. Michael.
Mike Nessmith’s mom is the inventor of Post-It notes!!!!
And Liquid Paper !
You mean liquid paper
She invented Liquid Paper. Post-Its were invented by an employee at 3M.
Wow Mike Nesmith is gone. Well heaven is celebrating because they have one of their own back. I did not know he was in the Air Force. He will be missed on this plane for sure. So so so sad for us to lose Mike. He was amazing.
RIP Steve Bronski.
Being a Smalltown Boy myself, I was amazed of how you'd Hit that Perfect Beat, boy! Bet that with the late Larry Steinbachek there will be some swinging ruckus!
Goodnight Prince Michael 🌹
Fun fact:
(If I remember correctly)
Mike NesSmith Mom invented
White Out‼️
I loved watching the tv show ‘The Monkees’ when I was a kid. It was part of my Saturday morning lineup along with Josie & Pussycats. I remember the deaths of others from Monkees they will be missed.🌹
Can't believe Mike Nesmith and Larry Sellers are gone. Also poor Barry Gibb can't catch a break. Lost all his brothers and their old manager.
Prayers to the victims and families of the tornado destruction.
Michael Nesmith's is like America's Best Big Brother that everyone loves like the other 3 Mockee's
I've already commented on this, but My comment is not showing ❓🤔 I spoke about Larry Sellers.(cloud dancing) . I LOVED him on Dr Quinn Medicine woman.
I was saddened to hear about Mike Nesbiths passing. I didn’t hear about it until now. Many of the old guard seem to be leaving us but that’s a sad part of life.
Just seen that Author Anne Rice passed away. Rip Miss Anne!!!! I've read all of her books.
Cloud dancing 💘 🌹, rest in peace.
Larry Sellers was so handsome and kind. RIP to all deceased.🙏🙏🙏
I didn't know Joe Simon was still living...
My mother played the Hell out of his music...
RIP Mr. Simon
Thanks a lot for doing these are great tributes!
Walk in Beauty, Larry Sellers. Anne Rice did not die, she became a Vampire.
Rest in peace to all
I remember Michael Nesmith. And Cara Williams from Pete and Gladys show which starred Harry Morgan and Spring Byington. The show was only on from 1961-1962. I remember Patty Duke and I was so sad that she died at the age of 69 as she was only a few months younger than me. I loved her in the movie "The Miracle Worker". I remember Sandy Hook so well and it was a horrible tragedy as all of these mass shootings are.
I did not know of author Anne Rice passing away or Larry Sellars. RIP to all those gone.
Her son posted it on social media, my hubby read it aloud and my friend and I who were listening to him simultaneously responded "No!". RIP Ms Rice, you wrote some darned enjoyable books.
Mike Nesmith was my idol as a pre-teen and young teen in the mid-to-late 1960s. Have always considered him to be by far the most musically talented and gifted of The Monkees. My older brother went through basic training for The USAF at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas, and he gave me a thrill when he told me that he'd walked the same ground that Mike Nesmith had when he did his basic training there. I grew up in Galveston, TX, 50 miles from Nesmith's hometown of Houston, and I got to meet him in 1985 when he was visiting his father in the ICU at the University of Texas Medical Branch Hospital in my hometown, where I began work as a RN in 1979. Thought of asking for his autograph, but decided that'd have been inappropriate, considering his father's condition. Even at the age of 28, and having more or less forgotten how I'd idolized him in younger years, it was a huge thrill to meet him. Had no idea that he had any serious medical problems, and was unaware of his quadruple bypass operation in 2018.. Best wishes to you, Mike.
We'll have to add pioneer rapper Kangol Kid from the hip hop group U.T.F.O. which had the hit Roxanne, Roxanne in the mid 1980s
Yes Sir!! Please remember Kangol Kid!! I remember this Song Very Well. My name is Roxanne and Everybody was Singing it my friends when they visited and my family everyday. I still love this Song.❤️❤️
RIP Joe Simon. You were among the best soul singers and unfortunately your breed is quickly disappearing.
I always loved bell hooks and was saddened to learn of her passing. (She preferred to have her name uncapitalized.)
I love bronski beat. Was just listening to them yesterday. Sad. :(
Outstanding video and presentation.
I feel weird hitting the "like" button for these... I like what these do while feeling sad for those who passed.
Larry Sellers was a good actor.
I'm very sorry to here of Mike N. Passing! One of my favorite Monkeys . Great person!
Thank you. Thanks lady.
To have 3 close people (son, father and a cousin) in the Unser family die in the same year is sad for those families.
Loved Michael Nesmith. His song "Joanne" was hauntingly beautiful!
Loved Cars Williams on TV. Always hopes she comes back to TV.
What a beautiful and respectful tribute to these talented people. Thank you...
Your video is done with such respect.
Nice tribute to Demaryius Thomas. Way too young to be on this list.
No one is too young to die!
So sad so young! 😢
@@cyxw1234 Not to die!... GoDis not a respect. to any Age
Thank you
Well done!
thank you
Listen to Michael Nesmith's Beyond the Blue Horizon. He did a great job with his rendition.
When the Monkees came to NYC to the Beacon Theater before C19 to pay homage to Peter Tork who had just passed away, Michael Nesmith and Micky Dolenz appeared onstage and then ran a memorial reel -- not a dry eye in the house and a standing ovation.
Now only Micky remains.
Savor the time we have left together.
Nice that they are remembered with respect. 🙏
Bronski beat ..small town boy was such a great tune , ..dude was 60 ..if you Watch the video you would never think that guy would ever age ?
Demaryius Thomas a homeboy. R.I.P. brother.
I live a cross the street from Bell Hooks and she was a every fine person and a good neighbor I will miss her
I saw 5 Man Electrical Band at the high school gym in Poplar Bluff, MO. in 1971/2. Great show. RIP Mr Emerson.
Very sad. We will remember them fondly. Happy Holidays to all 🎄☃️❄️⛄️
I gonna add my dog ROSCOE of 10+yrs he wasn't a celebrity but he was mine.12/16/21 11:30pm
I had no idea that Mike Nesmith died. I was in grade school when "The Monkees" was on, and every week, my friends and I had a different Monkee "boyfriend". One week it would be Davy, next, Peter, next, Mike, never Mickie for me, but he was a favorite of some of my friends. LOL!! And Anne Rice!! WOW!!! So sorry! So sorry for all the rest of the people who I didn't know, and my condolences to family and friends.
RIP Larry Sellers💙 I loved Cloud Dancing!!
Eternal rest grant on to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
