The great Soupy Sales died


In many ways , the performer who may have given me more enjoyment as a kid then anyone...completely irreverent and loveable at the same time

I too was born and raised in Detroit and Soupy was a staple. For as conservative a time as the 50's and early 60's were, there was some far out children's fare on TV. Soupy, White Fang and Black Tooth were among those. I also remember a Saturday morning show that featured a black cat that played the violin. Anyone remember the show?
That's it Dgarretson!!! Thanks for the memory. Remember how they made an elderly woman fall for their routine and she would end up pouring stuff over her head. Wierd quirky stuff back then.

I can see Midnight the cat sitting in her chair as if it was yesterday.
