A BIG thanks to Linda Bookey who reminded me that I hadn't yet commented on the passing of comedian Soupy Sales.
Soupy was the "pie in the face" recepient, kiddies' television entertainer, game show celebrity judge and all around sweet man on stage from the 1960's-90's. He was born the same year as my father, and for much of my Dad's life people commented on the facial similarities of the two men.
Among the last of his generation, as he joins George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson, Andy Kauffman and dozens of other US comic genius's in heaven's Comedy Stage in the Sky.
Here's an excellent link displaying the comedy of the late great Soupy Sales. Make sure to stay tuned a few minutes, and hear Soupy sing his television theme song. Brought back a lot of old memories.
Definately a Legend in His Time!
