Today, August 7th, marks Carl Switzer's (would be) 83rd Birthday!!! WhooHoo! :D

I put together three of my personal favorite clips, from my collection, of Carl crooning at his.....'best'. lol :P

Love you always, Carl!

From one Alfalfa fan, to another, I hope this makes you smile! :)

*Please view in 720 for highest available quality....the last 2 clips are old, so the quality isn't exactly going to be high definition. lol*

Thanks for sharing this footage. That HAD to be Tommy Bond sitting beside Carl Switzer in the back of the car. How great to see video clips such as this. Thanks again for sharing this with everyone.

@tonyny77 You are correct! That is Tommy Bond! :D Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed!!! :)

SAD..THIS MAN COULD NOT SHAKE THAT ALFALFA IMAGE EVEN AS AN ADULT

[MandyRascal]

@sierria64 Yes I know what you mean, but I don't think think he minded it as much as the media said. After all, he always remanded being called "Alfie" by all of his friends & family, even himself. He'd always sign "Alfalfa" along with his letters and signatures. He certainly was proud of it, and it wasn't like he wanted to hide it away completely, but I imagine it may have been frustrating auditioning for more serious roles. I truly believe he could have done so much more had he not been killed

The Little Rascals were the most precious and truly American.....and Carl...was always one of my favourites.....and I just think what a horrible way to pass away over a dog and fifty dollars...his talent was much more than that...he was priceless...Thank you for all the smiles you brought all of us...

[MandyRascal]

@jdcc061 Such a great comment. Very sincere. Thank you so much for watching. :)

@dindints I totally agree. I hope to see Alfie in heaven one day. For now I like remember him by pencil sketching him and some of you know I'm writing him kind of a cheesy fanfiction about what might have been.

I second that; HarleyQuinn; Carl was a good guy that should still be alive today.

Alfalfa Is my favorite rascal...really sucks that he died over ...50 dollars...i wish i can go back in time n give him 100..rip alfalfa..one day ill visit you budy

Some questions remain and this case needs to be reopened. Tommy Bond went to Switzers funeral and Fred Switzer, Carl's father, told Tommy that it was Stiltz who tried to kill him the year before when Carl got shot while in the parking lot of his job. Mr. Switzer and Tommy Bond believed that Carl was unarmed at the time Stiltz killed him. Newspaper reports from the time contradict each other with the events of that night. Sorry if I took up a lot of space, I just wanted to add what I knew.
