Tito Jackson, brother of Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 co-founder, dies at 70

I grew up listening to the Jackson Five, but for some reason, this is one of my top Five. It just makes me happy and want to dance!

FU Emmy's.

Not one mention in the Memorium section for David Soul.  When Starsky ^ Hutch was not only a groundbreaking show at the time, but David was multi-talented, in having a successful music career too.

One of the stars of one of the most recognized (even iconic) shows of its time. I realize they can never get all of the names in, but that's a glaring one to miss.

As usual, there are a lot that left their mark on the industry and pop culture but wow, that final three of Sutherland, Jones and Newhart.

Although the absence of David Soul was a very big miss; that particular tribute segment was well done.  We got full screen clear photos of all of the deceased along with their names and job description in big, easy to read print.  They also halted the photo montage every time they cut to the singer so as to give everyone their due.  If only other awards shows could do it, too.

Still could have been better, as

"Users on social media did, however, feel the omission of the likes of Shelley Duvall, Erica Ash, Johnny Wactor, Tyler Christopher, Joe Flaherty, and Chita Rivera reflected poorly on the TV Academy."

Edited: I stand corrected. Please see the comment by  @GHScorpiosRule just below mine.

We're also discussing this topic over in the Emmys forum itself. Another glaring omission was Treat Williams, who was actually an Emmy nominee last night! How did their In Memorium miss someone who was a posthumous nominee for these very awards?!? (He was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for his role in Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.)

While they FUCKED up with the omission of David Soul, and the others mentioned by @Palimelon, Treat Williams made it in the In Memoriam segment that aired in January.

It doesn't get much more 70s than that video.

I know, right? And by posting it, I've got an earworm that's lasted ALL DAY! 😅

OK, I was responding based on an article linked in the Emmys thread where people were upset that Treat Williams wasn't included in last night's segment. My error then. 

David Soul died on January 4th of this year and the 75th Emmys were held on January 15th. Is it possible that Soul was included in the January In Memorium segment?

No worries. I only know because I wanted to confirm whether David Soul made it in the January airing before posting here, but nope. However, Treat Williams was included. And according to The Washington Post, both technically are the 76th--it's just that last night was part II, due to the Writers' Strike.

Unfortunately, no. I checked that thread here, and the segment on YouTube, but they omitted David. Lazy Bastards. Look, while it was slightly better last night, the seconds the camera focused on the singer and orchestra, could have and should have shown David, Shelly, Tyler, and the rest.

As close as I'll ever get to experiencing a drugged out night at Studio 54...

Joe Flaherty, Chita Rivera, and Shelley Duvall at least made the 2024 Creative Arts In Memoriam video reel posted on The Television Academy's website (which I linked above). David Soul is only mentioned on the list of names!

Eagles Songwriter JD Souther Dead At 78

As someone who was a huge fan of the L.A. music scene of the '70s--Linda Ronstadt, The Eagles, Jackson Browne and many others--J.D. Souther was an integral part, intertwined with all of them and it is a sad day. 😔 

Also, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame remembers Tito Jackson.

Added Tito Jackson memorial.

Eagles Songwriter JD Souther Dead At 78

I loved his songs.  "Heartache Tonight" is my favorite Eagles song (granted, he was one of four writers on that), but I like quite a few of their songs he wrote.  Same with Linda Ronstadt.  And I love his solo hit "You're Only Lonely".

[ProudMary]

My pick for J.D. Souther's greatest composition is Don Henley's "The Heart of the Matter." It's brilliant, especially in Henley's voice.

Here is the beautiful tribute from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. J.D. was inducted in 2013.

And he was also on TV as an actor, so we're all good here.  I remember him from Thirty Something but apparently he was also on Nashville and some TV movies.

My favorite JD Souther performance was with James Taylor on “Her Town Too”, a song he co-wrote with Taylor.
