SOUPY will be missed. We all loved Soupy. Met him on the roof of Rocky Aoki's Club Genesis one time -he was playing tennis with Richard M. Dixon, the Nixon impersonator. He had a couple of hilarious hit 'Novelty' songs, "Hey, Do The Mouse!" and "Affalafaca." He was suspended a few times for various pranks, "Hey kids, we love those pictures of Presidents so why don't you find some in Mommy & Daddy's wallet and send them to our studio address!" On YouTube you can see Alice Cooper getting a pie in the face on one of Soup's last shows! " Soupy was part of a rollicking gang of comedians and hosts who proliferated in the 1960's- people like Chuck McCann (Little Orphan Annie) and Sandy Becker (Norton Nork, Hambone).
Who can replace people like this?
