    Too many young people are killing themselves today, what a sad thing and the music they like is not helping them at all! So so sad.

    Most famous people don't live as long as the general public so much for fame and fortune I guess. Of course guess it was good while it lasted.

    I wondered which thread I should put her in but decided to post her over in the Hollywood obituaries thread thinking more people today would know her from her TV work.

    This one hits me hard. As a young man Jarreau could do the miraculous any day of the week. It's hard for me to believe that a man who was so alive could die.

    Kind of ironic that Matt Murphy and Aretha Franklin played husband and wife on The Blues Brothers. They both were great talents.

    Roy Clark, country music legend and 'Hee Haw' star, dead at 85.....

    [​IMG]

    Country star Roy Clark, the legendary singer and multi-instrumentalist with an ear-to-ear smile who headlined the hit TV show "Hee Haw" for nearly a quarter century, has died. He was 85.

    A rep for the singer told Fox News Clark died on Thursday at his Tulsa, Okla., home due to complications from pneumonia.

    Clark was the "Hee Haw" host or co-host for its entire 24-year run, with Buck Owens his best-known co-host. The country music and comedy show's last episode aired in 1993, though reruns continued for a few years thereafter.

    He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2009, and emotionally told the crowd how moving it was "just to be associated yourself with the members of the Country Music Hall of Fame and imagine that your name will be said right along with all the list."

    He was a touring artist as late as the 2000s. Over the years, he played at venues around the world: Carnegie Hall in New York, the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo, the Grand Palace in Brussels and the Rossiya Theatre in Moscow.

    Clark was born in Meherrin, Virginia, and received his first guitar on his 14th Christmas. He was playing in his father's square dance band at age 15.

    In the 1950s, Clark played in bands in the Washington, D.C., area. In 1960, he got the chance to front the band of country singer Wanda Jackson. He also performed regularly in Las Vegas. He got his first recording contract, with Capitol Records, in 1962.

    He appeared on Jimmy Dean's TV show "Town and Country Time" and took over the show when Dean left.

    In 1997 he released "Roy Clark's Christmas Memories."....snip~
