Jim Henson Memorial - Jim's Favorite Songs

Sung by his fellow Muppeteers toward the end of his memorial which took place in New York on May 21, 1990. I've decided to put this segment back up because it means so much to so many, including me.

Wouldn't it be great if you leave a mark on this world as positive and as strong and inspirational as Jim Henson did?

Hard to watch and not cry

I can't believe that was Dave Goelz 23years ago

I never saw this before. He was a brilliant and supported by some funny and talented people. A revelation to see what they look like without their muppet disguises. They must have had such fun.

Wow did not know that elmo was played by a black man

I lost it at the last song, too, particularly when the Fraggles join in.

I have so much fun watching this right up until the last song, and then I start crying.

I miss you, Mr. Henson. So much.

So lovely! I held it together until One Person, then it was like floodgates open. RIP Jim, 23 years ago today, but it feels like yesterday :( You were, and still are, one of my personal heroes.

She will learn about the Muppets.

Yep its true that one's greatness can be shown by the people who gives tribute on their funeral- Jim is a great guy and yes i can feel the emotion on each and every song the puppeteers sang especially on the last part-- I practically grew with sesame street and the muppet show--- Great job Jim :)
