Soupy had a beautiful spirit and provided many people with a lot of laughs and happy memories. I had the pleasure of working with him back in the 1980's, and he was a true gentleman who stayed true to his values and remained a "clean" comic out of respect for his loyal fans. May his memory will live forever. REST IN PEACE, old friend.

Thank you for the add. I am sorry to hear of the passing of Soupy. I watched him for years and was a HUGE fan of White Fang and Black Tooth. Brings back fond memories. I wouldn't have missed the show for the world!!
From Blanche's Halloween Party: Soupy Sales was added to the Boo-Ray Ballroom's Giant Ofrenda this year (here, for the photo - he's posed between Zappa's box set, and Jesus playing an accordion).
I was a Soupy groupie since the age of 6. The way Soupy always laughed at his own jokes was hilarious, sincere and endearing. I will greatly miss my old lunchtime buddy.
I am so bummed. I just was looking thru my friends list and found out about Soupy's passing. So sad now. Always wanted to meet him. R I P, Mr. Sales. Will always Love You. Evey.

Apart from Soupy Sales' obvious contributions to the comedy of anarchy that helped usher in the '60s as we know it, Soupy also presented some of the best jazz performers on the planet when he hosted a nighttime jazz/talk show out of Detroit in the mid-'50s.
Acts like Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Jackie Wilson -- the cream of touring jazz musicians and many great Detroit-based stars -- would appear on Soupy's show.
The movie about Motown's Funk Brothers, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" featured a brief clip from Soupy's nighttime show, of Motown guitarist Joe Messina playing in Soupy's house band.
I dream that somewhere, on an alternate planet, there are tapes of Soupy's entire show, for us to enjoy. Maybe it's out there somewhere.
There's one other clip from the nighttime show -- the only known clip of trumpet great Clifford Brown performing. Brown, who was the yin to Miles Davis' yang in terms of trumpet style, died tragically in a car crash, at 25 in 1956.
Give thanks to Soupy's lifelong jazz fandom and the freedom afforded him by Detroit TV bosses in the '50s...here is that Clifford Brown clip:
Thank You From Lost In The 50's
