Wow.  Way too young indeed! Definitely one of my teen idols. Very sad.  RIP!

"I'll Meet You Halfway"

That’s actually a really good pop song. Most of his songs, and the Partridge Family songs, were enjoyable.  I had a pretty sizable crush on him back in the day.  This makes me sad, not to mention nostalgic. RIP

"I Write The Songs"


I always thought "I Write the Songs" was written by Barry Manilow, but I just read that it was written by Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys.

Jim Nabors, the actor known for his role as Gomer Pyle in the “Andy Griffith Show,” has died, according to multiple reports. He was 87.

Steve Uyehara of Hawaii News Now confirmed Nabors’ death Thursday afternoon. WTHR’s Dave Calabro also confirmed the actor’s death.

Nabors, who recently lived in Hawaii, was born and raised in Sylacauga, Alabama. He was discovered by Andy Griffith while working at a nightclub in Santa Monica and appeared on “The Andy Griffith Show” from 1962 to 1964.

Nabors’ character of Gomer Pyle was a Marine from Mayberry, North Carolina stationed at Camp Henderson near Los Angeles in the 1960s.

'Gomer Pyle' Star Jim Nabors Dies at 87

im Nabors, who played Gomer Pyle on TV's "The Andy Griffith Show," has died at 87.

Nabors died peacefully at his home in Hawaii on Thursday with his husband, Stan Cadwallader, at his side. He was 87.

Cadwallader says Nabors' health had been declining for the past year. His immune system also was suppressed after he underwent a liver transplant about 20 years ago.

Rest In Peace! Thanks for the good times.

On those streets of Gold, I would not be surprised if you can hear someone shout, "citizen's arrest, citizen's arrest"

Never was a fan of his Marine character,  but those few years on the Andy Griffith show were priceless.

Rest In Peace Mr. Nabors.

Surprising to know that Nabors had such a wonderful singing voice.  In fact, it amazes me that so many artists have talents in more than one field. 

Rest in peace, Gomer Pyle.

His singing voice, IMO, was a far superior talent to his acting.

But maybe that's just me.  ^-^

Guys like Jim Nabors, George Lindsay, G.W. Bailey, Jerry Reed, and the Three Stooges were part of the lower brow subculture that those that grew up working poor and rural got many laughs off of, because their style was our style.

That culture is all but gone now, swallowed up by the suburbia social media culture monster.

Long ago replace with your fag of the week series and other SJW type shows that oozes out of evil liberal hollywood like KY Jelly dripping off of Matt Lauer's favorite sex toy.

And Ron Howard, as a producer, used his Dad and brother in the movies he produced.

I don't know much about it, but it seems they were a close family.

Prayers for them.....
