RIP a real one. I wonder if dudes like Spoon (who aren't necessarily mentioned w/ the Chapelles, Murphy's, Martin's) truly know how many lives he touched? :jbhmm:


I hope so, because he was a legend to us. He made generations of black ppl laugh and held a sentimental place our hearts, for his role portrayals. No easy task. I didn't know too many Cosbys growing up...but everybody in my circles could relate to a black elder figure, like "Pops" in their family.The world is definitely a less funny place w/ out him. Salute....:salute:
I definitely hope he knew.

HUGE impact.

RIP Johnny witherspoon has been around for a long time... I remember seeing him on an episode of What's Happening with Disco Danny Domino as the DJ...


Was even on a episode of Good Times as one of the cops that arrested Penny's mom.. My man paid his dues and was a legend. This one hurts

RIP Pops

WOW.

Rest in peace. However I saw him yesterday on his YouTube cooking channel because he uploaded a new video yesterday :patrice: unless that was a prerecorded vid they had in the vault.

I did notice he was talking about some old (well not completely) topics from months ago so must've been a recording from then.

R.I.P. to a legend.
