In Memoriam 1963: Famous Faces We Lost in 1963

[hooterowl]

Patsy Cline is my all time favorite singer. But it should not be forgotten, she did not die alone, on that plane were fellow singers Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins, whos names were just as big as Patsy's and on the way to attend memorial services for Patsy, singer Jack Anglin died in a car crash. This is often referred to as the week country music died. It is disappointing to not see these men mentioned in the memoriam.

In all your videos, each time I read about a musician I've never heard before, I look it up in spotify and listen to his or her music. In this one, I've discovered Dinah Washington and Elmore James. Thanks!

Thank you for including officer J.D. Tippit in this wonderfully made tribute to the people we lost in 1963, but was surprised you didn't add Lee Harvey Oswald.

Lol I loved that line from Monty Woolley as Mr. Whiteside. The funniest insult in film history.

[dianaedwards]

I was born March of that year and what's fascinating is that most of the people in the memorial were born in the late 1800's and had seen and survived turbulent times ( world wars, the depression, Spanish flu). Amazing.

Honoring people who have impacted our lives.

You forgot about the other two country legends that were killed in the same crash with Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins

Edith Piaf. The most greatest female french singer.
Aldous Huxley. One of the genius pioneer writers of the Dystopia genre.
Gorgeous George. The wrestler who created the Gimmick concept

Rest In Peace.

I never knew there was a Jason Robards Sr. Even today alot of Stars have kids that follow in their footsteps. One of tbe neat aspects of Hollywood.

Gorgeous George one of the most influenced wrestlers of all time He really understood the whole pomp and circumstance of pro wrestling and the heel/babygface element Too bad died young at only 48 😔

May God have mercy on their Souls and All Souls. Amen. I was born on July 1 of this year.

Too flamin’ young. Sadly, most of these people died before their time and certainly younger than myself. RIP. 🇦🇺

The most interesting info I got from this is the fact that Jackie Kennedy gave birth to a boy that lived only 2 days and died three months before JFK was assassinated. I'm 66 and never heard this.

Aldous Huxley, C.S. Lewis, John F. Kennedy all passed on November 22, 1963

I was 5 years old in November of 63 when Mom and Dad were watching the evening news I can barely remember there was mostly silence that evening from hearing about J.F.K.s assassination.

[nickkeizer]

Jack Carson, my dad's first cousin. I was only 7 when he died and never got to meet him.

[hankmessaros]

I never knew Oswald killed a police officer know for a fact they told us in school in history class because I would have asked my dad all about it because he was with the F.B.I and philadelphia Police all his adult life until retirement in 88. Thank yo u for putting that in.

[joeburinskas]

One of the first things I remember, Kennedy's assassination, didn't quite understand it. My grandmother died a week before, and didn't understand that. Too young to comprehend death.
