The day the music died.

Here's some interesting things about him after he retired from singing.....

Whenever people talk about classic TV, they forget how much absolute crap dominated our screens, most of the week. Sure, I Love Lucy, All in the Family, MASH, Newhart, and Cheers were great. But for every one of them, there were 20 or 50 Bobby Sherman's and Partridge Families.

One great show per decade does not make a "golden era".

Gilligan's Island the worst....
But I did like I dream of Jeanie.

I like the professor… made me think I could invent anything.

Pubescent boys loved Gilligan's Island by putting themselves in his place. Which is prettier or sexier and I'm on a deserted island with two hot Girls . Jeannie and Samantha same thing.

Two coconuts and a stationary bike and off you go!

My older sister was big into him back then.
I just sent her my condolences... gotta stir the pot once in a while!

Funny. I did exactly the same thing a few months ago when his diagnosis became public. Both sisters are older, but the younger of them was really into Sherman at the time.

I'm surprised she didn't change her name to Julie.

For those of us a little younger, it's hard to even hear the name Sherman, without thinking of the Sherminator:

I just read that. There are going to be a lot of sad people over this one.

 

[Torvy]

To be fair, if you polled people 40 years ago, what % would have expected Ozzy to still be here in 2025?

Not my favorite genre, but he had talent.

He was a heckuva lot easier to understand when he was singing than when he was talking.

 

[WinterDeere]

Blizzard of Oz was my first introduction to the guy, I remember receiving that on cassette tape, as a birthday gift. Great album, for the time and genre, way better than most of the hair bands that were crowding in on that scene. Despite not listening to a whole lot of metal, I was instantly hooked on Ozzy.

I saw a few clips of the farewell and lets say some people leave the party too late. First time I saw him was 1981 (according to interwebs) in Springfield IL with Def Leppard opening. Randy Rhoads was the star of the show. I think Ozzy would agree that Randy saved his career along with Sharon being a hard ass business person. It was never the same without Randy although I think Jake E Lee wrote some good stuff. Ozzy got all the songwriting credits. The story goes he screwed Jake over because he got screwed over by Sabbath.

 

[DieselnHooters]

He was one of a kind. Along with some of his music , I also enjoyed his reality show, especially when he'd call for his wife - "Sherrinnnnn". One thing that sticks in my mind is him grumbling about being the prince of darkness while picking up a mess left by one of Sharon's little dogs

I'm one of them; the missus told me, we were both bummed out. His daughter just got engaged, too.

 

[Diggin It]

Probably more than Keith Richards.

I remember the song but I don't remember him. The video looks like from the 80s. That was my time of struggles--Work, school, marriage, kids. I wasn't watching much music or TV.
