Though the title was misleading, coming here still wasn't for nothing. Though adding Mr. Murphy's name in the title was totally unnecessary for a man who was so known and loved for his works and for having the most powerful and recognized voice in entertainment. R.I.H. James Earl Jones
@meridethsmith5758 I could not agree more with you. Those who really cared was blessed to have Mr. Jones as someone to look up to for as long as we did. 🙏
He lived a long time and had a great career. I'm not grieving his passing but I will miss seeing him . He was one of my favorite actors and he seem to have been a pretty nice guy. Rip Mr. Jones you've earned your heavenly crown❤
I have a lot of respect for the man not just for voicing Vader and Mufasa, but because he made his greatest weakness his greatest strength, which was voice since he couldn’t speak until he was 8 and now his voice is one of the most recognizable voices of all time. It’s inspiring to me, as an autistic person who struggles with effective communication and figuring out my skills and talents, that this man overcame his disability and made it his talent, becoming famous and living a long and happy lifetime filled with many accomplishments. Thank you for everything, Mr. Jones, and may the Force be with you.
James Earl Jones did not want to be credited on the first two movies out of deference to David Prowse , the actor who physically embodied the character on screen. He only agreed to be credited on the third movie because George Lucas told him that he was Darth Vader in all of the fans eyes.
My favorite line of any movie is ,"I'm King Joffie Jofar Ruler of Zamunda." I would say that line every time my ex and I would argue. It would piss her off every time.
I don’t think any movie would have been as great if not for James Earl Jones. Not only was he a great talent, his voice rocked. You know instantly who it is once you hear his amazing voice. Rest in Peace James, you will be greatly missed. ❤️❤️
Coming from Mississippi in the Time he did, Becoming "Successful" $$ & then Marrying a WHITE Woman that CAN'T Be Mississippi's Finest!! 🤔 Yeah i Said it!!!
I love James Earl Jones.! He was truly one of best actors of all times not to mention that voice!! Such a distinguished man RIP to Mr James Earl Jones. And condolences to family.
James Earl Jones sold off his voice to A.i for 10 million to one company. Those millions go to his children. 10 million dollars for a voice, that's crazy.
Passing away peaceful at the age of 93 is not tragic. I think it's probably how most of us would like to go out. He was a great actor and had a great life. Nothing tragic about it.
Rest in Eternal peace Mr. Jones. I have learned a lot about your life in these last 4 days. Despite your trials and tribulations, you excelled anyway. Your Golden Voice touched millions of people. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I am from Mississippi as well. You will always be a king to me. My thoughts and prayers are with the family! To be absent from the body is to be present with our creator! Gone But Never Forgotten! ❤

@@bradfordruhle Yes. I was responding to the narration stating that there was some type of slight or shenanigans involved with his name being left off the credits originally.
When he played Jack Johnson with the line, "I ain't fightin' for no race... My Mama said Mr. Lincoln already did that. Ain't that's why y'all shot him?" Just wow. Prolific. Rest well, Sweet King and May the Force be with You.
BS Clickbait Title takes away from what is otherwise one of the Best James Earl Jones Tributes out there - You guys should really fix the title and let the Video Shine on its own merits! 100!
I also had a very bad stuttering problem growing up and got myself out of it! That's why you never give up on your dreams! One of my favorite actors of all time rest in peace your lord ship.❤❤❤❤❤
I saw him on a New York stage in August Wilson's play "Fences" in 1987. His voice was so powerful, it dwarfed the voices of all the other actors and there was so much depth to his portrayal.
NO ONE WILL COME CLOSE TO YOUR PRESENCE ON BOTH STAGE & SCREEN MR. JAMES EARL JONES … I’VE BEEN A FAN OF YOURS FOR MANY YEARS . THANK YOU FOR LEAVING THE WORLD WITH A PIECE OF YOU & YOUR MEMORY NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN. REST -N- PEACE, MR. JAMES EARL JONES . 🙏🏽

I couldn't watch the lion king after mufasa had died. I've teared up once this man passed. He was Truly, Truly a great everything to us.. r.i.p dad, you have been one to everybody.
I Loved me some " Claudine". That movie was spectacular with Dianne Carroll another favorite. I guess they'll run into each other, Madge Sinclair & other great actors & actresses in the after life. I'll miss your voice, but l knew something was up in your last role, in the Coming To America 2 --- that you were getting up there in age & health.

My grandmother once said just before she passed: Don't shed no tears for after she is gone, for she had lived a good life and was going home to glory.. Well I think that the same can be said for James Earl Jones.. They are both gone home to glory now.
Oh how I regret that I that I didn’t get a chance with see him as ‘Grandpa Vanderhoff’ in “You Can’t Take It With You” on Broadway. When Jason Robards played that same role, it was filmed!

May You Have Everlasting Rest AND THANK YOU. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He was one of my favorite actors, many others favorite too, he voiced and played all his roles diligently with his utmost talent and acting skills, i never got tired of watching his movies, even when he played the villain in conan alongside Arnold, one of some of my favorites movies with him goes right back the A. quarterman and the city of gold, coming to America, the Vernon John, if i got that right, the voicing of Darth Vader and so many more, he'll always be remembered as one of the greatest, rest in peace brother Jones.
Great video except for one thing. He did not want to be creditied for the first two Star Wars gigs because he considered it little more than a special effects project. There was no shade thrown at him. You need to get your facts right.
His voice was so stern along with his stare that it was very menacing at times and also intimidating. He had such a powerful presence it’s indescribable. RIP Sir Jones.
Absolutely.A great man.My voice is very similar to his and I know that we are going to miss him greatly.Always ever since I first saw him and heard him.I said now there is the voice of a king and rightly deserved
I watched this because said Eddie Murphy could'nt hold back his tears, but there is no Eddie .BULL CRAP for nothing .RIP JEJ.
That was clickbait!
I said the same thing.

Yeah, some asshole put up that title! Tragic death? He died peacefully in his residence. I hate these click baits!

The movie with James Earl Jones, and Robert Duvall, was "CLASSIC"
"A Family Thing"
@@MzJanuary Beautiful movie... Aunt til..
It was Jack Johnson. Get your facts right!
He requested not to be credited in the first two Star Wars movies. 😒
That was when they were originally released. But 20 years later, his name is proudly credited as Vader's voice.
@@bradfordruhle Yes. I was responding to the narration stating that there was some type of slight or shenanigans involved with his name being left off the credits originally.
Exactly, trying to make it seem like a slight...and I'm trying to figure out where I missed Eddie Murphy not able to hold back tears.
@@drmarquisgrant4 I also didn't see Anderson Cooper crying as it's shown in the in thumbnail (but granted, I wasn't watching closely)

He didn’t WANT to be credited as Darth Vader. They talked him into it by Return of the Jedi.
And then he received credit for both A New Hope and empire strikes back in the Star Wars special editions
I didn’t see Eddie Murphy’s emotions as mentioned in the title but a good video of reflection. James Earl Jones is a true king.
I missed it, where was Eddie Murphy talking?
I saw him on a New York stage in August Wilson's play "Fences" in 1987. His voice was so powerful, it dwarfed the voices of all the other actors and there was so much depth to his portrayal.
Mufasa really left us 😢 time for simba to shine 🌟
