Beautiful song. I lost my granny 2 years ago but still break down and cry when I think of the bond we had. She was my bestfriend. The hole in my heart is in the shape of her and no one can fill it. It will forever be empty.😢
All or most of these celebs have been dead for decades. But I guess it's good to remember them by this lovely tribute song by the lovely CeCe Wynans-Love! 😍😇💞💛💕
"I know that it is impossible to name all of the great Black entertainers when doing something like this but, you did a very good job! I was looking for Jimi Hendrix RIP-1970."
Thank you for showing June Pointer. She was a funny and wonderful woman. It was a blessing to have known her. A great sadness to see her go away. Rest in Heaven
R.I.P. my boy Wylie Draper!!! He is the man on 0:37. He portrayed Michael Jackson a.k.a THE KING OF POP ON THE MINI-SERIES THE JACKSONS : AN AMERICAN DREAM. HE DID AN INCREDIBLE, TERRIFIC,EXCELLENT,FABULOUS,ETC. ALL OF THE POSITIVE STATEMENTS YALL CAN THINK OF, HIS PERFORMANCE WAS ALL OF IT AND 100,000,000,000,000,000 TIMES!!!! I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!!! HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HUGE IF HE DID NOT DIE FROM LEUKEMIA IN 1993. BUT HE IS WHERE HE BELONGS, AND MICHAEL IS WITH HIM TO. RIP WYLIE DRAPER!!!!!!!!!!
Roslyn Heyward, I just saw the newer version of the Shaft movie with Samuel Jackson, and her. Her son (Mikai Pfeifer) was killed by a racist thug whose rich daddy kept bailing him out of jail and other trouble when he committed a crime and she got tired of seeing him get away with them especially with murdering her son and she got a gun, waited outside when he came out of court and popped a cap in him. I love justifiable endings like that. 😉😊
Rest in peace Supernova AKA Lisa Left Eye Lopes.. it was such a great honor for me to go to your open funeral that took place at New Birth Baptist Church. A woman pulled me to the side to get in line because it was so packed and I was thankful that I made it.
Thank you for creating this...Omg! Lynn Thigpen😭No one will ever know how much I loved Carmen Sandiego! I miss her and disgusted I didn't keep up w her career.
Man I just want to say THANK YOU I THANK GOD FOR U I LOT OF ARE PEOPLE PAST ON I WE DIDN'T EVEN NOW OMG GOD BLESSINGS TO YOU FOR DOING THIS TRULY MEAN THIS WOW I SUPPORT ARE GOOD PEOPLE. SO THANK THANK U THEY DONT CARE ABOUT US CLEARLY NEVER NEW THIS I AM SO BLOWN AWAY AGAIN. 🙏😇🙁🌹
Where Redd Foxx ( he played by Fred Sanford in Sanford and Son) Sherman Hemsley ( he played by George Jefferson ) Whitney Houston ( she sing heartbreak hotel in 1999) Michael Jackson ( he sing bad 1987)
To: All the viewers, and posters remember we all don't know the time of hour it's Bible sure if we are born sure we will die for all those that have gone Rip one day someone will say the same about us Rip why you are living. Peace posters.
Remember guys this is from 11 years ago. Which means this was made in 2009. That's the same year Michael and Whitney passed. Time line might of been a tad late. But then again, Bernie Mac was on here and he passed I believe in 2008. So you guys could have a point
I would've expected Josephine Baker & Paul Robeson among these people. Then again, they didn't die tragically young. This was still a wonderful, heartfelt clip. Thank you for sharing.
I know one person people may have forgotten but should be on here, Robin Harris (BeBe's Kids, House Party). Also, Michelle Thomas was way too beautiful to leave us so soon. RIP to all who left us, including the recent celebrities who passed.
We need to do a updated version of this....because Vesta dided recently and not much has been said about that. She really was an amazing singer.....to say the least.
I LOVE THE SONG AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO I LIKE AND LISTEN TO. THEY WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. THEY WILL BE MISSED, BUT ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS. MAY THEIR SOULS RIP!
They all inspired to Everyone that’s watched tv they make historical happenings today may they all r.i.p & they now in a better place amen 🙏😇😇✝️ Good Memories they still around 😭😭😭😍😍😍
R.I.P. For the ones in the video, and the ones that did'nt make the cut. I feel soo old & I'm only 33. I grew up to most of the people in this clip. They say death is a part of life, but I still can't help feeling sorrow
It's amazing that you would mention this bright star, I had an opportunity to go to her open funeral when I was out of high school in 98 it was so packed that I was trying to get in line in a lady offer to let me in line with her. She was truly an angel that was one of a kind that got took advantage of while she was on this human playing field
Just a week shy of the one-year anniversary of the death of her longtime companion Phillips, Renée Diggs also died (March 18, 2005) at the age of 50, due to a heart condition. Her album Oasis was finally released in the U.S., posthumously
Hey hiphopstara. What a nice video you have put together. Very amazing. Although you forgot to add one celebrity. He is WWE Hall Of Famer Junk Yard Dog. Overall...excellent job. ;)
It's obvious you can't put everyone in here, but those who are here, God loves you , as do I. when God calls you to come home, so many lives are affected, so many people cry, so many hurt and so many forget. let us NOT forget them for long.
Some of these people were very young. Sad they are gone. I was surprised no mention of Otis Redding. He was becoming well known when I was in the service. One of my pals had a battery powered record player. When we were at base camp in Chu Lai, Vietnam he played music. That was in 1967. We were listening to one of Otis's songs when a guy came running in and said, "Dammit, Otis' plane went down in Madison, WI." I about lost it, that is my hometown. Right before Christmas. Bad news.
3:06 Oh man, I never knew that Rerun passed away. When I was a kid I used to watch "What's Happening" and "Welcome Back Kotter" religiously. I heard that Horseshack passed away too. All my 70's stars are starting to pass away. :( I don't care if they are black or white, I love them all.
Beautifully done. You forgot Micheal Jackson, Richard Pryor, Luther Van dross, that is all I can think right now. I was shocked about so many who have passed. Such a shame..so young.
Yeah I know, everyone can't be include or we forget some, so here is my four to add to the list, that are gone too soon: Florence Griffen Joyner (Flo Jo) (the sexiest olympic star and track runner on the planet back in the day) Isabel Sanfford (Weezy) Roxie Roker (Helen on the Jeffersons and Lenny Kravitz mother) Rosland Cash (very underrated veteran actress, but finally got her props by winning an Emmy on General Hospital, her last acting role before she passed away)
There were some of these people that I didn't know that they died! Others I had forgotten that they passed away! I'm really going to miss some of these talented people!
most of you won't believe me but la la brown was my mom's cousin she always visited her at her studio and before I was born my older sister met her two she got an autograph from her ☺ RIP la la 😞
Remember Barry White anyone ? I can't believe that after 9 years there has'nt been any kind of memorial with a bunch of stars to honor him & sing all his beautiful songs. Where was Oprah during all of this too Dammit ? He was a modern day classical composer, & touched the soul with his melodies, not like the auto-tuned talentless nonsense of today !
How true. I love all those T.V. friends of yesteryear..a good show, good acting Black or White. I watched What s Happening, Welcome Back Kotter, The Waltons, Family Matters,,, back a few years, Get Smart, Julia and so many classic GREAT shows with great talent
All there bodies gone but they left us there greatest gifts of which it was all there names legacies that will live forever and ever in our hearts and minds may all there souls rips💿💐💜🥀
R.I.P to all of the fallen black stars....we miss them dearly...and especially R.I.P Wylie Draper..u neva got a chance to show off all of ur talent..but G0D has sumthn else in store for u what u culdnt show us u can definitely show him..L0VE U ALL...R.I.P 4EVA...also R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON1958-2009
Beautiful song. I lost my granny 2 years ago but still break down and cry when I think of the bond we had. She was my bestfriend. The hole in my heart is in the shape of her and no one can fill it. It will forever be empty.😢
She's with you always..remember that
I'm sorry for your loss, and I know what you're going through, because I lost both of my grandmothers too , so I get it
I grew up listening to this song, this is my mom's favorite song.
Everytime I hear it, I get teary eyed.
CeCe Winans made a touching song.
She deserved a grammy, and an oscar for this beautiful song right here
Huge fan of Lynn Thigpen. Loved her acting and personality. Sad for all.really.
Lean on me
All or most of these celebs have been dead for decades. But I guess it's good to remember them by this lovely tribute song by the lovely CeCe Wynans-Love! 😍😇💞💛💕
"I know that it is impossible to name all of the great Black entertainers when doing something like this but, you did a very good job! I was looking for Jimi Hendrix RIP-1970."
A great tribute to great artists! We will miss them all forever
Thank you for showing June Pointer. She was a funny and wonderful woman. It was a blessing to have known her. A great sadness to see her go away. Rest in Heaven
R.I.P. Aaliyah
You were my favorite when I was little.
I remember trying to learn how to do the dance to, "Rock The Boat", lol.
This really tugged at my heart strings. I'm shamed there were some I did not know of. Thank you for this tribute!
It takes a great spirit of compassion to do a tribute like this........much thanks!!
R.I.H. my Beautiful Black Stars
R.I.P. my boy Wylie Draper!!! He is the man on 0:37.
He portrayed Michael Jackson a.k.a THE KING OF POP ON THE MINI-SERIES THE JACKSONS : AN AMERICAN DREAM. HE DID AN INCREDIBLE, TERRIFIC,EXCELLENT,FABULOUS,ETC. ALL OF THE POSITIVE STATEMENTS YALL CAN THINK OF, HIS PERFORMANCE WAS ALL OF IT AND 100,000,000,000,000,000 TIMES!!!! I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!!! HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HUGE IF HE DID NOT DIE FROM LEUKEMIA IN 1993. BUT HE IS WHERE HE BELONGS, AND MICHAEL IS WITH HIM TO. RIP WYLIE DRAPER!!!!!!!!!!
Bob Marley,Dennis Emanuel Brown and Ray Charles RIP
R.I.P. great men of music 🎵 🎶 👍🏽
I love the way Lynn Thigpin read Mya Angelou's autobiographies...
Roslyn Heyward, I just saw the newer version of the Shaft movie with Samuel Jackson, and her. Her son (Mikai Pfeifer) was killed by a racist thug whose rich daddy kept bailing him out of jail and other trouble when he committed a crime and she got tired of seeing him get away with them especially with murdering her son and she got a gun, waited outside when he came out of court and popped a cap in him. I love justifiable endings like that. 😉😊
I liked her in the movie Lean on Me with Morgan Freeman.
thanks who ever did this. there were stars in there i have forgotten. PS: I'm have Indian and white. This is the 21st century lets all get along.
All love here, Fam 🤜🏾❤🤝🏾❤🤛🏾
Its sad that this talented black star didn't get the recognition she so deserved. The media didn't let us know she passed away...SMH.
No wonder why T.V. aint interesting anymore ,😶
Yep
Rest in peace Supernova AKA Lisa Left Eye Lopes.. it was such a great honor for me to go to your open funeral that took place at New Birth Baptist Church. A woman pulled me to the side to get in line because it was so packed and I was thankful that I made it.
Thank you for creating this...Omg! Lynn Thigpen😭No one will ever know how much I loved Carmen Sandiego! I miss her and disgusted I didn't keep up w her career.
Thank you for loading this vid. There are a lot of people here, I haven't heard of.
Bless their Soul's.
Man I just want to say THANK YOU I THANK GOD FOR U I LOT OF ARE PEOPLE PAST ON I WE DIDN'T EVEN NOW OMG GOD BLESSINGS TO YOU FOR DOING THIS TRULY MEAN THIS WOW I SUPPORT ARE GOOD PEOPLE. SO THANK THANK U THEY DONT CARE ABOUT US CLEARLY NEVER NEW THIS I AM SO BLOWN AWAY AGAIN. 🙏😇🙁🌹
Man! Some of these actors I thought was just taking a break. Now I see why I stop seeing them. Thanks for posting this
Gosh that brought back memories and great times. Those people won't be forgotten.
This was very nice so many wonderful ppl have gone on to heaven 😘😘😘
Thank you...beautiful song and beautifully done. I didn't even know some of them had passed.
Thank you for posting this, I am going to save this and share it with my child when she is old enough to understand.
Beautiful song and wonderful interpretation by Cece Winans.
i'm white but to me color does not matter i miss all these guys they were grate no one can replace them. god bless them all.
This was very nice. A lot of them I didn't realize or had forgotten that they died. Thanks!
Beautiful song for beautiful actors and singer who have left us but left memories of who they were,
Where
Redd Foxx ( he played by Fred Sanford in Sanford and Son)
Sherman Hemsley ( he played by George Jefferson )
Whitney Houston ( she sing heartbreak hotel in 1999)
Michael Jackson ( he sing bad 1987)
That was a great tribute. But you forgot the one who everyone in the whole world that has truly missed. It's none other than, "Michael Jackson"
To: All the viewers, and posters remember we all don't know the time of hour it's Bible sure if we are born sure we will die for all those that have gone Rip one day someone will say the same about us Rip why you are living. Peace posters.
Amen!
AMEN!! We Are Born To Die!! I Do Agree 100%.
Very true.
Richard Pryor should have been included.
As well Sammy Davis Jr.
I think Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston should have been included also
What about Sam Cooke??????
@@garyjohnson7626 This video came out in 2008
Remember guys this is from 11 years ago. Which means this was made in 2009. That's the same year Michael and Whitney passed. Time line might of been a tad late. But then again, Bernie Mac was on here and he passed I believe in 2008. So you guys could have a point
Whitney Houston Michael Jackson come on now greatest entertainers of generations
This tribute was made in 2008, before they died.
This was before they died
Just watched this, thanks for taking the time to put this together. it was nice.
I would've expected Josephine Baker & Paul Robeson among these people. Then again, they didn't die tragically young.
This was still a wonderful, heartfelt clip. Thank you for sharing.
I'm sad Rerun passed away, I saw him a few times way back when and it's sad to see him there! RIP Buddy!
Thanks for this, so much!
REST IN POWER BELOVEDS💐
What does rest in power mean?
I know one person people may have forgotten but should be on here, Robin Harris (BeBe's Kids, House Party). Also, Michelle Thomas was way too beautiful to leave us so soon. RIP to all who left us, including the recent celebrities who passed.
BRAVO! WELL DONE!
Don't worry about forgetting some. This was great and it was gut wrenching how young some of them were.
Be Well
at :35 I thought it was Michael Jackson 😊
tibs firfir since when did Michael Jackson had a lion?😂😂😂
@@lialanikaija7127 stop it 😂🤣😅
Omg me too!! I was about to blast somebody until I googled the name and saw that its the guy who played MJ in the American Dream movie smh lol!!!
He played Michael Jackson on “Jackson 5: American Dream”
@@lialanikaija7127 he should have been on here
Don't forget The Godfather of Soul, Mr. James Brown and our Super bad White Soul sister, Teena Marie!!
We need to do a updated version of this....because Vesta dided recently and not much has been said about that. She really was an amazing singer.....to say the least.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GROUP OF BLACK PPL PAVING THE PILLOWS OF HEAVEN.........SLEEP ON.....
Thanks for putting a smile on my face thats an uplifting video
Wow, didn't know Richard "dimples" Fields passed away. Beautiful tribute

RIP to all the others on here, they'll never be forgotten
R.I.P. For the ones in the video, and the ones that did'nt make the cut. I feel soo old & I'm only 33. I grew up to most of the people in this clip. They say death is a part of life, but I still can't help feeling sorrow
Thank you for posting, but it would have been more informative if the year they died & what they died from was added to the video.
R.I.P Left Eye, I Miss and Love you so much! i'm honored to have an autograph from you.
It's amazing that you would mention this bright star, I had an opportunity to go to her open funeral when I was out of high school in 98 it was so packed that I was trying to get in line in a lady offer to let me in line with her. She was truly an angel that was one of a kind that got took advantage of while she was on this human playing field
I'm waiting for Sam cooke, Jackie Wilson ,Otis Redding
In time our body pass away.not our eternal soul

It's obvious you can't put everyone in here, but those who are here, God loves you , as do I. when God calls you to come home, so many lives are affected, so many people cry, so many hurt and so many forget. let us NOT forget them for long.
