- The "In Memoriam" segment from the 1978 Oscars ceremony. Sammy Davis, Jr. & Marvin Hamlisch are the musicians. The people included in the montage include Joan Crawford, Charlie Chaplin, Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley.
This was a really moving scene in Feud. All Joan struggled for, sacrificed and achieved throughout her career. And just 2 seconds! Not even a film clip! Shameful. And when it's stated in Feud,"that's all any of us will get." That was very telling and sad. Joan deserved more! They all deserved more.
it was really sad :( Joan deserved more respect than that
cliff9685 It is the Academy after all, never a great track record with them. Hell, they omitted a couple of people this year plus the heinous mistake of adding a living person!!
Yes! I can't believe that! This past Oscars was definitely historic for the wrong reasons... and the whole Faye Dunaway thing lol
cliff9685 What Dunaway thing? It was Deniro who couldn't read.
cliff9685 It wasn't Robert Deniro it was Warren Beatty! Besides it was Faye Dunaway's screw-up.
Wow -- Elvis Presley, Joan Crawford, Bing Crosby, Groucho Marx and Charlie Chaplin died the same year!
1978 looks like a vintage version of 2016
Exactly what I was thinking! 2016 was over the top for big name deaths.
also Bing Crosby and Roberto Rossellini and Peter Finch et al
Seeing Sammy reminded me that he also lost his good friend Freddie Prinze in 77 a long with the rest of these people. But Freddie wasn't a Hollywood actor, so he wasn't shown. So many talented people died in 1977.
MrPotorris Actually they all died in 1977
This was shown briefly in the finale of the "Feud" and now I see exactly what Olivia de Havilland meant when she said, 50 years in show business and they gave her (Joan Crawford) two seconds.
Linda Sturm the didn't even start showing the photos until the last minute. At least nowadays, they start showing generally when the song starts.
Meh who cares if Hollywood gives Joan 2 seconds.. The Fans will give Joan the rest of their lives....xxxx
+MediaLover194 True. I thought while I was watching this, are they showing the stars but the home audience is not getting to see them. This wouldn't happen nowadays.The media would never let it go, unpunished.
+John Whirling Ok darling.
Not justifying it, but 1977/78 was a period full of landmark deaths-Elvis, Bing Crosby, Chaplin, Marx etc. Hard to do justice to so many talented icons in the allotted time.
Joan Crawford was one gorgeous woman.
To Joan!! 🍸
Wally Lifeless for joan 😔🍸
CHEERS!!🍸
Wally Lifeless Raise a flask of 100 proof for Joan!
🥂🍸🍾 To Joan

Thank you ❤️🙏
1977 was a rough year!
Damn, I love Sammy, but he got two minutes of singing before the video began. They couldn't take the camera off him for 45 seconds to show the folks who died? What the hell was the director thinking?
The In Memoriam segment only became a part of the regular show as we know it in '94. I guess this was just a special performance since so many notable stars had gone that year...
I agree that is a director's call and everyone seems to be blaming Sam for hogging up the time. It is NOT his decision when to start the side show. They also have to time it so they are not running slides after the song is over.
They gave her only 2 seconds back then but we remember her after 40 years since her death. Isn't this what she wanted? To be recognized. We still love and respect her so this is the actual point. ❤
I never believed Mommie Dearest was a true story beacause most of Joan's friends and also her twins denied that it's true. They always say she was a loving mother and sometimes loses it like every mother. I'm so glad that Ryan Murphy never put Christina in Feud.
Those stupid twins came looong after Christina had endured all of the abuse. By the time those two could remember anything Christina and her brother were being shipped away to boarding and military school. Those twins and their offsprings need to shut the hell up and only talk of THEIR experience with Joan and not of Christina's
Christina Crawford seems to me like a very lucid person and has social work in the matter of children abuse. Till today she sustains her story why would she bother? There's no reason to doubt her!
I DO NOT BELIEVE CHRISTINA. THAT IS ALL.
A tribute is a moment, a legacy is forever.
That last note by Sammy is incredible
Incredible. He wasn't a friend of Martins and Sinatras for nothing. Even though he usually had to carry their luggage....😎
I forgot how amazingly talented Sammy was --- he passed when I was still a kid, but I recall watching him sing back then. Wow, what a talent!
Just finished The Feud and thought, 'surely she didn't really get so little time on screen!' But I see Elvis, Bing and Chaplin all got exactly the same tiny amount of time, why they couldn't get the screen going earlier in the song is beyond me!
good point
The segment was really about Sammy
That's it? Christ! 50 years in show business, and they give her 2 seconds.
That's all any of us will get.
This year died olivia and effectevly only had two seconds
Jesus, they're even rolling up the screen by time Charlie Chaplin (a legend) is recognized. Much better done today thank God.
It was the 70s what do u expect
Ot this year they didnt
@@owenamato4613 nothing wrong with the 70s m8
From Rosalind Russell to Peter Finch to Bing Crosby to Groucho to Elvis to Joan Crawford to Chaplin to
Roberto Rossellini to Richard Carlson to Zero Mostel to Howard Hawks et al, they're featured in the
"In Memoriam" segment from the 1978 Oscars ceremony on ABC. The people included in the montage
who passed away. They'll always remembered but never forgotten.
@@dja69 Well thanks for the great reminder and I’m deeply grateful for many legendary people like Rosalind Russell.
I am a pianist... the piano should have been moved away from the screen... I won't repeat what everyone else has been saying here... but I got goosebumps hearing Sammy Davis sing ... just so sad... I would like to thank the ACADEMY , I mean all those who put THE FEUD together. I really enjoyed watching it. JOB WELL DONE! Not only did I love the 2 main characters, I think JUDY DAVIS and the actress who played MAMMACITA were terrific, as is STANLEY TUCCI and even the actor who played BOB ALDRICH.... WELL DONE PEOPLE!!! thank you again!!!
I agree with you! It was very well done and I really enjoyed watching it.
No way the piano stays as that isn’t just anybody it’s Marvin Hamlisch thank you
Takes me back to when this scene was recreated in "Feud", and they showed other actors reaction to how short Joan's mention was:
Catherine Zeta-Jones (Olivia de Havilland) says "That's it?", followed by Kathy Bates (Joan Blondell) saying "christ, 50 years in show business and they give her two seconds", to which Susan Sarandon (Bette Davis) says "that's all any of us will get". The harsh reality of Hollywood
Joan Crawford ❤
Good grief, I didnt see anything but a Sammy Davis Jnr performance! love sammy, but it wasnt his turn to shine. Hope nobody screwed Sammys moment up later when his in memoriam played.
Thank you for uploading this. Amazing to see the real thing after 'Feud'.
They didn't caption the name of each deceased actor either like they do now and in recent years.
It wasn't just Joan, Elvis..I didn't like the way it was setup at all. Sammie sang beautifully, Marvin played beautifully but whoever staged the memorium had no reverence for anyone who passed in 77
oh she meant 2 seconds .... literally.
That's all any of us will get.
Quit bitching
Bing, Groucho, Elvis, and Joan all gone in one year. Wow.
Wow. Not only Joanie but Groucho, Elvis and Chaplin and that's all they got.
and Bing :(
Joan Crawford, Elvis Presley and Bing Crosby; Three legends lost in the same year
add Groucho and Chaplin, that makes 5 legends lost in the same year.
I like how in the mini-series Feud when this scene was played out back stage the Joan Blondell character says while watching the Immorium sequence and says, Christ she was in this business for 40-years and all they give you is two seconds?
Then the Bette Davis character says, That's all they ever give you in this business.
May 2017 will mark 40 years of her passing!
Backstage Bette Davis was saying ‘that’s all any of us will get’
Man seeing Elvis, Chaplin, Crawford on there! Just sad! Imagine if Elvis got to live through the 80’s until now! He would still be rocking it on stage! 😢
At least Joan got 2 seconds. Adam West, Bill Paxton, David Allen Ogden Stiers, and Lynne Frederick all got nothing/zero seconds at the Oscars after they died.
Case in point, Jennifer Aniston pay her respect to Bill Paxton at the 2017 Oscars. That's the only information we know.
For the other three legends, they don't get any credit at all.
What a shame they didn't show everyone longer than that!
Thank you!
Anyone here from that show fued? I was godsmacked when I found out this was actually true!
Sammy Davis just nailed that song, the ending gives one chills
For Joan
We will never see another performer like Sammy again. That was the highlight of this segment.
Love joan crawford
I'm here after they gave Olivia De Havilland only to seconds in memoriam in 2021.
A true legend singing, Sammy Davis Jr.
Damn 1977 took a lot
Homenageram a Joan com a mais linda das suas fotos quando era nova.
This is more of a Sammy Davis, Jr. star turn than a "Memoriam."
A lot of people are comparing the "In Memoriam" segment to those we're used to seeing today. I'm sure there were many back then that were short and rushed. Feud wasn't kidding about the 2 second length. I agree, a proper (and longer) tribute should've been given to each star being remembered. On a more positive note, Sammy's singing was amazing and Marvin's playing was great as always.
And I don't think this was even an official "In Memoriam" because, if I'm not mistaken, it didn't start until the 1990s. Like the year Davis passed away (1989), she was only shown during a montage of 100 years at the movies. I'm pretty sure of this.
for Joan and Chaplin!
How the hell did you get this, this is before TH-cam even existed , this is great
Beautiful song, sung by one of the Greatest entertainers from the Great days.
She was beautiful.....
Until 1994 The Academy avoided In Memoriam sections to keep an uplifting atmosphere during the show but in 1978 they had no other option but to addreess the fact that great stars had left us in 1977: Chaplin, Groucho, Elvis, Bing, Joan Crawford, Zero Mostel, Peter Finch, Freddie Prinze, María Callas and Roberto Rossellini, etc.
They could have at least put the names on the screen along with the picture. I know it takes months to prepare an awards show but just seems thrown together at the last minute without much thought.
In Memoriam isn't really that imporant. The important thing is that we still remember them today after almost 40 years. Like me, some of us weren't even born when they died. Isn't this what they all wanted? I love you, Joan 😙
I’m here for Sammy who was incredible
My biggest question/complaint here is, WHY would they have him sing the whole song with no photos behind him, til the end when they had to rush through them all? So disrespectful.
Sammy would be in the In Memoriam section 13 years after this...
wait they actually were doing In Memoriams that far back? they must have only done it intermittently before it became a full time staple of the ceremony
I stopped watching after the 2012 Oscars gave Elizabeth Taylor a paultry 3 seconds buried in the middle of the In Memoriam segment. For the previous 40 years she WAS the Oscars. Because of her, stars borrow millions of dollars worth of jewelry when they appear. The difference is, she didn't need to borrow anything.
Omg that was so sad.....beautiful song,but so sad
R.I.P. Sammy Davis Jr. 1925-1990
Stop blaming Sammy Davis Jr, guys. It's not his fault.
Crawford, Chaplin, Elvis, Crosby....there aren't artists like that anymore!
They only gave them one second this year so be thankful they got as much as they did in 78
Damn mr Davis sang his face off
Boy this really tugs at your heartstrings
Joan received a PhotoPlay award in June 1977 presented by Robert Stack. It was a much better tribute and she should have gotten that kind of recognition here at the Oscars!
If you look up Robert Stack Joan Crawford Tribute you can watch it here on TH-cam!
WOW. What a year- Bing Crosby, Elvis, Joan Crawford and Groucho Marx.
And, Rosilland Russell, Joan's friend
Amazing voice!!!
Nothing against Sammy Davis Jr. but this In Memoriam sucks. Everyone should have been given more time up at that screen as a tribute to what they all contributed, but no, more of an intermission and focused on the performance. Not even 5 seconds. Damn.
At least they didn't use the most unflattering picture of Joan Crawford with Rosalind Russell.
Touching
To joan!🍸
Anybody knows the name of this song
"Come Light the Candles" by Marvin Hamlisch
Could someone please tell me the name of the song?
I've been training as a crooner but never liked the sound of most crooners, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra mainly. That's left me with Bing Crosby and Nat 'King' Cole mainly up to now with a little Elvis who was not technically a crooner but could croon in tracks like In The Ghetto and Love Me Tender. I've only just discovered Sammy and this number could be a hit if I can get the title and sheet music so I'm pleading to all, if you know the title, please share.

perhaps theyll do something next oscars for both joan and bette? :) give them what they deserved!!!
Richard Carlson, Peter Finch, Groucho Marx, Zero Mostel were also included in the montage.
🎶They had style, they had grace
Rita Hayworth gave good face
Lauren, Katherine, Lana too
JOAN CRAWFORD, we love you!🎶
They could have done the memoriam pictures from start to finish as Sammy was singing and do double exposure at the same time. Just 2 seconds for actors of yesteryear. Pitiful.
Glad they gave 2 seconds to remember people ... WOW.
Can anyone please tell me the title of this song? Thanks in advance 😊
Did they have s special tribute when bette davis died? I think only katharine hepburn have from the great women.
I remember seeing this. After the 8 minute ovation for Chaplain at his 72’ honorary Oscar I was sure Sammy would sing ‘Smile’ over clips of Elvis , Bing, Groucho, et al, ending with Charlie. How perfect that would have been. What a disappointment.
Hmmm😊... Could've been quite smth!, but I fear the Academy was/is not/& never will be, at all!, into "sentiment"...
What is this song called? Sammy Davis was the man. I cry every time I hear this
That voice. He killed it.
What’s the name of the song?
What was that.... because that wasn't a tribute, that was a Sammy Davis performance. So disrespectful!!!!!!
Dylan Washington Celebrities weren't on undeserved pedestals back then like they are today.
This was 20 years before the In Memoriam we know existed. It just wasn’t a thing back then.
What ! They didn’t even stand at the end,
So many greats
brilliant ......Sammy......
In memoriam return in 20 years later in 1998
Damn rough year. Elvis, bing, Groucho Marx, Joan crawford
was john cazale included
When was the first “in memoriam segment” at the Oscars?
Too much Sammy Davis and not enough of "in memoriam."
I didn't know the oscar in memoriam was this old. Wikipedia once said the in memoriam started in the 1990s.
Well, I'll understand what you're saying and I felt the same thing too, William.
Kinda looked like Christina behind Shirley (in the audience).
What’s the name of the song!!! Love Joan x

So odd. No names on the screen and so short. I liked Sammy's singing but the tributes were so brief.
35 anos depois da sua imagem vilipendiada por um livro infame 40 anos depois reconhecem sua importancia.
Why they didn’t give a standing ovation is totally beyond me
Because its a memorandum, not a concert
@@TheOusooner56 A "memorandum"? Try a "memoriam".
Joan deserved more than 3 seconds. This was shameful even tho Sammy Davis Jr sung well. She sacrificed everything to be a star. Sad...
Sammy Davis tapa a los homenajeados.😢
Talent.
