Shari Lewis was THE most accomplished ventriloquist, singer, dancer and, actress. She had it all, yet humility was her successful trait. She just loved what she did and it showed with every performance.
I still have recurring dreams of a woman who jumps (metaphorically) from one place to another singing a different song each time. Then she sings one more song in yet another place and then vanishes, and I am told I will never see her again. There’s no doubt in my mind that woman is a doppelgänger for Shari Lewis.
I remember that I used to watch Lambchop, Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy on TV when I was a little girl from my childhood, and The Shari Lewis Show was my most favorite TV show from my childhood 🐑 🐴 🐶
I feel like she doesn't get nearly enough recognition. It's a shame so much of her material was lost and that her characters didn't have an ongoing TV presence like Jim Henson's.
I remember MANY years ago seeing Lambchop as a kid, but never actually looked up her, Hush, Charlie, and Sheri until now, the characters are timeless and Sherri was amazing, knowing what happened to her after this song from the final episode is so sad… (You can hear her try not to break down at the first “grow and grow” part of the song because I think she knew this was the last thing and performance she was going to do.. Also imagine the kids back then growing up with her on TV (much like Mr. Rogers), watching this in 1998, and suddenly not seeing her again after this not even realizing watching this episode was the last you’d see Sheri and the gang until finding out she passed all this time years later, that must of hurt for the kids back then who now grew up finding that out… 😔 But as I said, she was wonderful, her daughter Mallory actually takes over the gang now, with the exception of Charlie Horse unfortunately as it strains her vocal chords.
Hi Everybody This Is Rae Wood's Son Adam Wood I Loved Shari Lewis Very Much Also And I Know I Was One Of Her Best Viewers And I Loved Her Very Much And This Is The First Time I Was Watching This Shari Lewis Video And It Was Making Me Cry So Often And Its Most Beautiful And The Most Saddest Shari Lewis Video I've Ever Watched In My Life
I recently became interested in the history of Shari Lewis and her puppet Lambchop, and I’m tearing up at reading the comments and all the people who have been with this series since way back when. This whole thing is just that powerful that it’d make someone who’s only interacted with the series for a little under a month cry. So sad that Shari died, you are missed. Thanks for creating a beautifully innocent show.
I'm seeing this for the first time ever in 2020. Never seen it before. I'm a grown man. Bawling like a baby here. What an amazing woman. What a talent.
Oh man, when the trio show up.. She's not performing any of them, she's got her arms around them instead, and lets go at the end. Probably reading too much into it, but... ow.
I grew up watching Lamb Chop’s Play Along and loved Shari’s puppets and the crafts and her other segments on the show! She reminded me of a unique aunt or grandmotherly figure! This is such a beautiful song! I was ten when she passed away, but I never saw this until now. Thank you!
What those clips originally part of the segment, or were they added in? If they were added in, it wasn't right to take away from the good last look at Shari that segment was supposed to give us.
They were part of the original segment. Originally the song was meant to be sung to junior, but in light of Shari's illness the planned segment was changed prior to airing to be her singing to the audience with a clip-based retrospective of her life playing during it.
Mm. So it was changed in the cutting room. Still, leaving us with a long last look at Shari while she was still there would have been the wiser thing to do. Why was she supposed to sing this to Junior?
@@TyrekeCorrea In the episode itself Junior was moving on from The Music Pizza to attend college. So this was originally the gang's way to say goodbye to him with a montage of him during the song.
I was 6 when Shari passed away. Now I have like 3 tapes of lamb chop’s play along recorded from ‘96 to remember her, plus the dvd Of LAMB CHOP’S SPECIAL HANNUKAH and SHARI’S PASSOVER SURPRISE
I was quite young when Shari passed but her work has lived on in my heart over the years, she meant the world to me then and is still so special to me now. I had never seen this before, thank you for sharing. I’m heartbroken at the farewell but I’m so happy she was able to be there for her audience right to the end and she chose such a beautiful way to leave her TV audience. Thank you for my little time with you. I’ll never forget you. You have my infinite respect
I was about 1 year old when I first watched Lamb Shop Play Along. And I fell in love with it. The last show I'd seen from Shari Lewis was Charlie Horse Music Pizza. And it was very interesting and awesome. I never knew that she died of cancer. Because that explains why I hadn't heard from her in a while. Plus, I was still a kid at the time. And I never understood of what's going on until now. I'm so glad that the Birthday theme for my 2nd Birthday was Lamb Shop. Because my parents knew that I love Lamb Shop Play Along. Thank u, Shari Lewis for those memories and educate us. God bless u always! RIP! I will always love and miss u and never forget u! 😢😘❤
Hello Goodbye 😂😭
I do miss Shari Lewis. She was my favorite part of my childhood.
Shari left us too soon, and is very much still missed.
Shari Lewis was THE most accomplished ventriloquist, singer, dancer and, actress. She had it all, yet humility was her successful trait. She just loved what she did and it showed with every performance.
This poignant ballad is not to be confused with the Beatles song of the same name. It's Shari's way of bidding farewell to her fans.
Gone but not forgotten! Her legacy and legend lives on.
I love u shari i met her in my dreams
2:36 where’s this clip from?

Gosh when the puppets joined in I lost it. Imagine trying to get through this

This is my childhood here! So sad that she passed away so soon. R.I.P. Shari Lewis
Shari was more than just a ventriloquist she was a pianist ballet dancer composer and a orchestra conductor
Shari and Mr. Rogers made PTV Park fun!!!! May they both Rest In Peace ❤️
Thank you Shari for making my childhood a brighter place with Lamb Chop, and may you rest in the greatest peace

At 0:26 Shari Lewis broke down to tears while singing. RIP Shari Lewis.
Great singing!
It’s so interesting. I lost my dad a few weeks ago and this song popped into my head! It’s a comfort to me!
thank you i love you shari lewis
It’s like she knew her time was up.
I'm seeing this for the first time ever in 2020. Never seen it before. I'm a grown man. Bawling like a baby here. What an amazing woman. What a talent.
Shari had survived breast cancer in 1983...only to succumb to uterine cancer in 1998...sad
1984 for breast cancer
RIP to a beautiful soul
Oh man, when the trio show up.. She's not performing any of them, she's got her arms around them instead, and lets go at the end. Probably reading too much into it, but... ow.
I wasn’t even 3 when she passed away. This was the first celebrity death that really shocked me.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😭😭😭😭😢😭😢😭😢😢😭😢😭😢😢😭😢😭😭😢😭😭😭😭😭😢😭😭😭😭😢😢😭🙁😢🙁😦😦😦😭😭😭
God Bless Shari and her 3 puppet friends

Uterine cancer is one of the worst.. even worse than breast cancer.
Excuse me. My favorite Mystery! host, Dame Diana Rigg, died of cancer, too, except she died of lung cancer.
Perhaps the worst part is that Shari looks more done-up here than she had in a long time.

@@Blah82udhw Ah. 💭
She looks ready to burst into tears.
Oh, crap. Are we supposed to make coping with loss such a routine part of our lives?
She doesn't look like she was sixty-five at all; she looks like she was in her forties.
Yeah Shari was an absolute babe.
i was 10 years old when i seen this i cried so hard. i loved this show! i forgot about it until i seen a meme on facebook.
I was 6 when Shari passed away. Now I have like 3 tapes of lamb chop’s play along recorded from ‘96 to remember her, plus the dvd Of LAMB CHOP’S SPECIAL HANNUKAH and SHARI’S PASSOVER SURPRISE
I saw the video of this twice. On first viewing, I was OK, but the second viewing is when I completely lost it.

from 3:16 - 3:34... that's rough :(
20 years
A song meant to be for a part time employee going off to college. Instead, it is a swan song for one of the greats. RIP Shari Lewis
R.I.P SHARI LEWIS.
