2:16 Eddie "Rochester:" Andserson - if there was ever a (gravelly) voice that needed to be heard here it was his "Hey boss...(Jack Benny)?!"

Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, Charlie Chaplan and Groucho lost some truly legendary entertainers in 1977.

I really appreciated the honorable mention of the passing of Marc Bolan, who was the Frontman of the 70' s Glam Rock Bsnd, T.Rex.(Bangagong, Get it on!) Marc died on September 16 1977, he was killed in a Car Crash. He was only 29 years old, only 2 weeks shy of his 30th Birthday. To those of you who also did not know this, Marc died exactly 30 days after Elvis Presley died. I loved them both, I was raised on Elvis Presley (1935-1977) , and I actually grew up with Marc Bolan (1947-1977), and T.Rex, I miss both of them, Rest in Peace, Elvis and Marc. 😢

I was expecting this video, I don't think there has been a year like 1977 in terms of the importance and the influence of the celebrities who died in those 12 months, can't recall another like it. Elvis, Chaplin, Groucho, Bing, Callas, Crawford, Peter Finch (who won a posthumous Oscar that year), I was between ages 18 & 19 and was a fan of most of them, starting the year with fellow Puerto Rican Freddie Prinze, what a tragedy. Thank You for the memories, Blessings from San Juan, PR 🇵🇷.

Elvis' words about live concerts interestingly contrasted with the Beatles preference for studio work only.
Elvis fed off the live audience and worked his charasmatic magic on stage that drove them wild

[donaldleroy]

Overall, what I like best about your videos is that I can now put names to very familiar faces from the past

When the videos reach 1960’s, 1940’s, & 1910’s, it probably will be depressing. Though what Freddie Prinze did was quite unbelievable, he already has a son, Freddie Prinze Jr. Sad, he did not live to see his son making it in Hollywood.

Chaplin is one of the most remarkable artists of the 20. century. He came from poverty, from literally nothing, was an outcast, was one of a handful of people who invented the art of moviemaking and never forgot where he came from. He was one of the most famous people of his time an risked all that he had (career, fame, money, reputation…) to say what he believed in. An artistic genius, brave humanist, remarkable man. For all the hard times and misfortune that he had to endure… never became a cynic, never gave up on being decent.
Oh… and he was also a composer. Wrote the scores to his films. Multi instrumentalist. He created “The Tramp”-imagery by combining old pieces of costumes that he found… would that make him a costume designer? And he was a screenwriter. He cut his own movies… I would also add “choreographer” to his list of occupations, because some of his comedic body-work/pantomime has the complexity of a professional dance routine.
He will be forever missed. Thank you, Charlie! ❤

It's such a shame Freddie Prinze died so young and didn't get to see the successful man his son became.

Jean Hagen also played Danny Thomas's wife on Make Room for Daddy, plus she played Beryl Caine in Adam's Rib which starred Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.

Very good job, Vince. Respectful, reverent, and beautifully produced. Lots of work adding the original voices.

[thomassutherland]

If Elvis presley hadn't died just 3 days before then Grouchos death would've been remembered a lot better

Regarding Zero Mostel, of all his acting roles, my favorite was the voice of Kehaar the sea gull in the 1979 animated film version of Watership Down.

Actor Peter Dyneley, who was the voice of Jeff Tracy on the original Thunderbirds series, passed away from cancer on August 19, 1977.

Beautiful memorial channel, Vince! Keep up the good work!

[jmysterio]

Stephen Boyd was quite a guy. Well respected as an actor and a person.

I remember opening up my new (Elvis) album right after he died....I got it in the mail and was opening it up while watching interrupted programming to tell us Bing Crosby died in was 13 that I remember exactly where I was/what I was doing, the day they both died....😢
