  • how could you forget michael jackson?

  • @Epicsims1 this was made in 2008 micheal died in 2009

  • Comment removed

  • tell me, if I did a tribute to all caucasians who died would that be ok? Too sad to say all have passed white, black, asian, indian, or purple...no matter who...it's sad.

  • I only knew 5 of them Left eye, Biggie smalls, Bernie mac,Michelle Thomas,and Aaliyah. I dont know much of Ike Turner so he doesn't count.

  • @Robloxmonkey123: LMAO.....MJ had not died yet at the time this video was made. All you had to do was look at the post date of the video....lol. Why do you feel he should have died a year earlier? I needed a good laugh and you gave it to me.

  • I wonder of these people really make deals with the devil in exchange for fame? I have been hearing so much about it being the norm in Hollywood. I was told you can't even get into the door unless you are down for certain Satanic things. I hope it is just meaningless gossip and not true because if it is...that means they are in hell suffering. I think there maybe something to it because of what is written in Matthew 16:26...i see that as a warning to us all. Also Matthew 4:1-11 makes you wonder.

  • YOU FORGOT MICHAEL JACKSON HES BLACK i think

  • natja is the only person in this vid who is no dead

  • HOLD UP ROMEO FROM THE STEVE HARVEY SHOW DIED DANG MAN HEYY ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR CUZ YOU CAN BE NEXT

  • Eddie Griffin isnt dead

  • I loved this

  • Sad, but beautiful tribute. Thanks

  • R.I.P. For the ones in the video, and the ones that did'nt make the cut. I feel soo old & I'm only 33. I grew up to most of the people in this clip. They say death is a part of life, but I still can't help feeling sorrow

  • nice video - too many to list them all though

  • Wow. So many of them so very young.

  • R.I.P Natasja <3

  • sho'nuff is dead, damn

    From The Late Night with Johnny P Show

  • 2 tragic deaths Barbara McNair and Bobby Debarge weren't mentioned.

  • philis hymin

  • you forgot Gregory Hines, Sammy Davis Jr. and pretty much every great jazz musician.

  • U forgot to post Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx.

  • @stixx316 WHEN THE HELL DID RICHARD PRYOR DIE!?!

  • @FRESHCOOLAIDE about 6 ot 7 yrs ago , i guess , u can find his name on search and it will tell u when did richard pryor die ? but how ever i didn't know teresa graves die- how cause she die ?????

  • Michelle Thomas died from cancer. Is that LaLa the choreographer?

  • I know one person people may have forgotten but should be on here, Robin Harris (BeBe's Kids, House Party). Also, Michelle Thomas was way too beautiful to leave us so soon. RIP to all who left us, including the recent celebrities who passed.

  • @BishopTJH damn yo how did la la & michelle thomas die i did not even know that damn thats wild rip yall heavy d rip too

  • @SuperMoneymike45

    Michelle had cancer, from what I can recall and I think La La was the one that was gunned down in a studio or something like that. I may have it mixed up with someone else, but I think she and someone is was shot and killed under mysterious circumstances. There is this website called panache report.com and they have a listing of "Stars Who Died with Little or No Fanfare". Panache and report is 1 word. It won't let me post it like that on here for some reason.

  • this makes me wanna die.......so sad

  • They should've put up billie holiday instead of that wife beating piece of shit ike turner!

  • There were some of these people that I didn't know that they died! Others I had forgotten that they passed away! I'm really going to miss some of these talented people!

  • I'm a 25 yr old male and i cried..........

  • @tipdryl Me to man that is terrible lives cut short sucks.

  • that was beautiful

  • All the dislike ppl are going to ell.

  • This tribute is beautiful...but...why comic sans??? Just sayin'.

  • Death is not the end, energy never dies

  • @AUSCHWITZ7946 asshole show some fuckin respect

  • btw his name is gerald levert if youre going to do a trib atleast get their names right

  • @AmazinKLIDE you must be a psychopath, don't worry you'll get yours, LOL at that when the day comes motha fuker. 

  • @AmazinKLIDE Silly Cracker! White people do dumber shit, like kill their own children and lie about it. Asshole you'll die soon. Black power!

  • no richard pryor?..............thats wrong

  • @mycaddie666 Yea......Thats crazy!!!!

  • Why cant they put any WHITE celebrities on this ? Why not put up a video of blacks who are in jail, or died violently....oh right, the video would never end

  • its Gerald Levert not Lavert! duhh

  • Comment removed

  • The chick from TLC, or by her given name, Lisa Lopes, was included..u people need to bring it down 1000...it takes alot to research and put this stuff together...like someone else said, if it concerns u so much, why don't YOU post a video of Black Celebs who have passed on? Y'all are taking this waaaay too personal....really. Kudos to the person who put it together, it was a wonderful tribute to those you did include.

  • @MsSpirit73 word thought you cannot leave out jimi hendrix or martin luther king

  • You left off Michael Jackson and the chick from TLC.

  • La Bouche? Thought they or whichever one were still living.

  • @LadyL718

    The young lady is the one that passed. I read it in the paper yrs. ago. I think she died in a plane crash in Sweden/Switzerland.

  • you yall stop these people like a family to me and they are so young but amazing life they been throw. i cried about this song it a amazing song. you yall need some respect for those people black people has amazing life they been throw.

  • Interesting. Putting the names over people's faces was a little annoying. And you may have mentioned how they passed. Thanks

  • Wtf most of these people are freaking young and the media never talked about 80 percent of these people deaths...I couldn't believe it.

  • @bougeinlet

    I just happened upon a few deaths by reading the local news papers, but a lot of them I found out about through a site called panache report.com (make panache and report 1 word; it won't allow me to do it on here) and go to "Stars Who Died with Little or No Fanfare" and it lists LOTS of people.

  • We need to do a updated version of this....because Vesta dided recently and not much has been said about that. She really was an amazing singer.....to say the least.

  • Why do they all have to be black? Shouldn't all deaths have a tribute? D:

  • man a lot of these shocked me!

  • Here it is 2011 , I did not have any idea all these ppl were dead.. Dino from H-town. Hakeem from Moesha, the actor who played MJ, Damiah, Dane, Jermaine Stewart, Richard 'dimples" fields, Sho' nuff , Lynn Thigpen= LEAN ON ME ! Not listed ..Kenny Greene lead singer Intro, Tony Thompson lead singer Hi five , & Edmund Sylvers lead singer The Sylvers . WOW... Great job on the video.

  • @coffeegirl5912

    I think Hakeem was killed in a car accident; vaguely remember seeing something in the papers about his; The Damien Dane singers I think they said died a yr. apart. The lady in a car accident and the guy I think from stomach cancer; Jermaine I think his was supposedly AIDS related; Richard's I think was a heart attack; Kenny's I think was AIDS related; Tony's may have been suicide; they were not sure and Edmund was lung cancer- his death was in Jet. Not sure how Lynn passed.

  • @coffeegirl5912

    Dino and his girlfriend I think they said were killed in a head on car crash; I can't remember if the person who hit them was drunk or just plain speeding and not caring, but I was stunned when I heard he'd passed.

  • ok the people asking about Michael Jackson seriously? he wasnt even dead yet at the time of this video

  • Thanks for posting this video.

    I was familiar with all of them EXCEPT Juilius Cary III. NEVER heard of him!

    I didn't know that the guy who played "Rudi Huxstable"" Stanley" died.

    Can I ask WHY didn't you have the LATE GREAT Michael Jackson, Marvin, Gaye, Bob Marley' (so many more I didn't say?

    Thank you for posting this

  • @Getrealpeeps i know you didnt just ask about mj? did you even see the date of this video? mj hadent even passed away at that time

  • @hersoulmate4ever Uhhhh

    YES I DID ask about the Late GREAT Michael Jackson.....OK, so I DIDN'T notice the date. What about Bob Marley & Marvin Gaye?? (you didn;t answer those questions)

  • @Getrealpeeps man you making me feel old now. Julius Carry was Sho'Nuff in the 80's movie The Last Dragon.

  • Still can't believe Bernie Mac is gone!

  • Comment removed

  • lamount bentley is my cousin and i still can't believe that he died

  • @nubianqueendomful Same here i didn't know fred berry died until i watched this i just watched the episode of scrubs he was in a couple days ago

  • What about Ray Charles? James Brown? Robin Harris?

    

  • Can you imagine if I put a video up that said Tribute WHITE Celebs Who have Died? Talk about racism.

  • @SandyzSerious

    Hmmm, actually there ARE in fact tributes here on YouTube that feature nothing but white actors/actresses, etc. They're just not labled "White Celebs Who Died." Take a look if you don't believe me.

  • Merlin santana look just like juelz santana????

  • Romeo :'(

  • why ike turner? there was no  need

  • Eddie griffin is not dead hes alive and kicking I don't know about his career but he alive

  • Don't forget Kenny "G Love" Greene with the music group-Intro,who was a singer writter and producer of the 90's with grammys in the RnB music industry.

  • My goodness ! I'm in shock. I follow entertainment, but so many people I didn't know....The guy who played Michael Jackson is gone too? No! Shonuff ? No! Teresa Graves, Gwen Guthrie, Dimples Fields?

  • where is marvin gaye he was and still is one of the best black musicans of all time

  • @detroit5039 I know, sad she left too soon.

  • Beautifully done. You forgot Micheal Jackson, Richard Pryor, Luther Van dross, that is all I can think right now. I was shocked about so many who have passed. Such a shame..so young.

  • wtf! Bernie Mac is dead???!!!!

  • @bigbootae WOW>>>

  • "I know that it is impossible to name all of the great Black entertainers when doing something like this but, you did a very good job! I was looking for Jimi Hendrix RIP-1970."

  • I'm sad Rerun passed away, I saw him a few times way back when and it's sad to see him there! RIP Buddy!

  • You Guys really need to be grateful. How about YOU, try keeping track EVERY Black celebrity that died?you really need to realize tht know wants to have a perfect count of Deaths.I bet half of you didnt know the majority of these ppl that died.I'm pretty sure that that's partially the point of this video,to recognize the people who didnt have a chance to make a full legacy because their lives were cut too short.Its good that you guys point the others But if u have a problem make one of your own

  • @ciarajca25 dude i dont care ok he or SHE didnt put bob marly jimi hendrix those two guys were like my gods

  • Hey hiphopstara. What a nice video you have put together. Very amazing. Although you forgot to add one celebrity. He is WWE Hall Of Famer Junk Yard Dog. Overall...excellent job. ;)

  • @Thegoldstarman - What gives you the right to come and disrespect this video and the people who passed away? Nobody asked for your 2 cents to come and comment on this vide and the only thing that is is YOU!!!!

  • Sad

  • what about phyliss hyman?

  • @musiclover77able LOL that's what they tell you. When you aren't looking, that's a different story. Ya missed my point. I was saying blk dudes don't have to put down white women to get brownie points. If they like blk women, they like em and keep it movin. Don't have to insult us in the process. And when they DO like us, they don't need to hide that shit. There are more and more black men who LOVE WW than you think. Sorry that pisses you off.
