[angelgirl7473]

hard not to tear up listening to this song.. i had this movie on video.. wore this one part out listening to this song, was my favorite part~ RIP Alaina,you was one in a Million and will be missed.<3

[JGCooney]

Alaina Reed-Hall had a great singing voice and so did Big Bird (Caroll Spinney) and Snuffy (Martin P. Robinson).

[JGCooney]

She does have a beautiful voice. Is it soprano or alto?

I just heard of her passing away yesterday. So sad--she had such a beautiful voice.

[angelsnupnup7reborn]

Peace 4 ever & always, I must thank you for posting this vid. May she rest in peace & her family be comforted in this most sad but then joyous happening in that perhaps she's gone to a better place. I do remember her from Sesame Street & 227,RespectU

[BriSchwa82]

I never knew she was on 227. I still get goosebumps hearing that song and now more than ever. RIP Olivia.

[deep71483]

I miss her. I knew her more from 227 as the sweet Rose character.

[mivoiosi]

i grew up with sesame street,,and was a fan of 227,,,she was a great actress and singer,,2009 what a sad year

[aet0901]

Olivia was one of my favorite characters on the show. I am still finding it very hard to believe that she is now gone. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world, Alaina. You will be missed.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

I really am going to miss Olivia. I only knew her from the Sing-Along video where she sang "Sing" with Linda. What did she die of?

God bless you, Alaina!

[MikeKrysta1]

Great song choice. From thr movie "Follow that Bird"

[wattamack4]

She will be missed.

R.I.P. :(

[howardtheman]

She was one of my favorites,married to Gordon on the show.

[Garrettk41]

@howardtheman

No, she was his sister.

[howardtheman]

@Garrettk41

Sorry Garret,I get confused haven't watched Sesame Street in a very long time,I was thinking of Susan that was married to Gordon,not Olivia.Thanks for the correction.

[Garrettk41]

@howardtheman

No problem. It's easy to get them confused.

[d72jjpilc]

As far as I know, this is the first time I have heard this song, but the tears start almost immediately after the first few seconds are played. I also just watched Olivia in 'Little Sister Is A Big Girl Now,' a Street Scene I remember fondly that was just posted by Nanto.

[TinyDancer500]

Gorgeous song choice, Jon, thanks for letting us know. One less star in the growing Sesame Street heavens :-(

[Kermitgroupie]

I didn't know she passed away already, she was one of my faves on Sesame Street and I miss her already 2. I'm Sorry Man : (

[geor67]

I miss her already. She was one of my favorites on Sesame Street!

[HootsytheOwl]

This is very sad for me too...not only did I lose Olivia, but I've lost a pet this week as well. I miss you both, Alaina and Lucy......you won't be forgotten, see you again someday!

[ErnieandBert1]

Wow. I was just watching some bits featuring Olivia throughout the past couple weeks.

RIP Alaina.

[bennyraven]

How did I not hear about this? I'm so sad now. Even though I hadn't seen her in much recently, she always brought kindness and humor to everything, and I'll miss her.

[DreamDancer82]

Sesame Street has lost another great. I've always loved Olivia.

[antsamthompson9]

She will be missed. RIP, Alaina.

[MuzikJunkyAES]

What's your source? Of what did she die? Peace.

[jonnytbirdzback]

I first found out about it through Toughpigs. I assume she died from breast cancer cuz I heard she did a commerical for it.

[Dekobee]

@jonnytbirdzback Yup. It was Breast Cancer.

[Garrettk41]

Oh my God. I did not hear about this. That is just too sad. Well, rest in peace, Alaina. You will be sorely missed. But thanks to those many great songs you sang on the show, lots of which we have hear on youtube, you will always be alive in your hearts.
