It's been a bad summer/fall for celebrity deaths.
 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/03/AR2005100301733.html I loved his portrayal of the Tin Man in The Wiz, and have fond childhood memories of his appearances on many talks shows and game shows. Rest well, your rhymes will live on in all of us Nipsey! _____________________

from Match Game to Oz.. what a catchy smile!
i heard about this yesterday (my father called me to remind me to get today's newspaper) and felt that weird twang of loss when a famous person passes away that once brought smiles to so many.. and i'm sure will continue to do so whenever we see him on a screen again. rest well, Nipsey.. _____________________
