Channel 9 news item regarding the death of Mel Blanc. Newsreader is Bruce Page.
Sorry about the quality but these tapes have deteriorated somewhat.
One of the greatest vocalists ever, such a shame I never got to meet him in my life time, legendary voice actor
As good as modern voice artists are, none can compare to the real Mel Blanc.

@@deltic ; This is so true!
@@nealsausen4651 It's as true today as it was five years ago when I first said it. Thanks for the comment.

Ironically, the first cartoon character shown in this tribute -- Elmer Fudd -- was NOT voiced by Mel Blanc, but by Arthur Q Bryan. But most definitely Mel Blanc was legendary!
Until 1959. When Bryan died, Blanc assumed the role.
Mel Blanc's takes on Elmer were very, very sporadic and not particularly memorable, with the exception of What's Opera Doc? and The Scarlet Pumpernickel. I think Billy West emulates Arthur Q. Bryan's style the best. Jeff Bergman is no slouch, either.
You took the words right out of my mouth!! I knew the only voice on Looney Tunes he DIDN'T do way Elmer Fudd.. Good job...
@@AgsmaJustAgsma Didn't Bergman take over for Blanc in Looney Tunes after Mel?? I know if seen that name, not Noel Blanc, in a couple of cartoons after Mel's passing. RIP Mel 💔...
this is true but I do believe Mel took over the voice of Elmer Fudd after Authur Q Bryan Had retired or passed away? I believe this is what I read anyway
Yep, Mel Blanc was a great voice actor and it was sad he passed away in 1989, if he did not die, he would have still been alive and be very old. RIP to the man of a thousand voices 1908-1989
"...few will know the name..." Are you kidding? Mel Blanc was entertainment royalty.
They just mean that a lot of people don’t know about the man behind the voices, but the actual voices themselves.
R.I.P. Mel Blanc
Rip Mel Blanc (1908-1989) *the man of a thousand voices*
I was born in 1991 so I never experienced any of Blanc's life, but this made me well up a little watching this
I was born in 1990, poor guy died a year before I was born.
Sad isn't it? :( He wasn't in the best health by the time he hit his 70's so to make it to 81 was pretty impressive
He could have at least reached 100. Then again most people don't.
Too bad they shelved Loony Tunes . Not political correct for big brother media!!!!
Bro, I was born in 64, and although most of his work had been completed, or alot of it...I watched and STILL record Looney Tunes on my DVR because after s long day of work...it's GREAT to watch an episode of Bugs or any Looney Tunes, and crack up...great to polish the day off with happiness and laughter, instead of negativity and or depression. Please...pass that along!! To many people nowadays appear to be eaten up with negativity or darkness, when the light in right in front of them. My kids are 29, 28, and 17...and my Son and I have already watched some Looney Tunes this morning!! Never to late. Notice the difference in the times too...my Son does!! All the guns, and explosives, etc...
Unfortunately, Mel Blanc was a longtime smoker to the point where he did his one-pack a day habit from when he was 9 to 77 years of age.
As a result, he died on 10 July, 1989 due to complications from emphysema and heart disease aged 81.
Wow its a must have been a miracle for him to live that long smoking.
@@joeherrera8826 After being diagnosed with *emphysema* four years before his death in 1989, he stopped smoking.
@@theoneandonlymem432 Oh thanks
Rip Mel Blanc and that's all folks
Efrain Melendez: Mel Blanc was the best Actor/Voice Actor for both Looney Tunes and The Jack Benny Program
The looney tunes are still on thanks to new voice actors e.g: Billy West
RIP Mel
That's all folks
Mel Blanc dies in 1989 30 years ago this month. 3 years before I was born, it was heartbreaking bummer that Mel Blanc dying 30 years ago.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I grew up with all his characters on the Bugs Bunny Show.
Wow , Rest In Peace .
Arthur Q. Bryan was the voice of Elmer Fudd, not Mel Blanc.
Funny that they start off with Elmer Fudd, which was voiced by Arthur Q Bryan. It's the one voice that sounds like a different guy, because it was a different guy. All his other voices sound the same. For me, the real star of many voices from that era was Bill Thompson, most notable for his work with Fibber McGee and Molly.
Like most voice-actors (notably Paul Frees, who died at age 66), Blanc was a chain-smoker. And, while it did help him attain a gravelly, low-octave tone, it wasn't worth it. You should look up the way Don Messick died. He was a smoker, too; and, when he quit, he could no longer do Scooby Doo.
U mentioned some of the best voice actors in history! Frees messick blanc not to mention Bill Scott & daws butler !!! Rip to all of them!!!!!
Don Messick retired from voicing Scooby-Doo in 1996, after suffering a stroke, while doing voice-overs at Warner Bros.- at that time, he was working on Freakazoid!!!
actually Mel only played Elmer Fudd a few times and then was switched with someone else
The irony is they led with Elmer Fudd, who's one of the few characters Blanc almost never voiced.
Mel Blanc voiced some of twiki in Buck Rogers in the 25th century..rip Mel..I spent many Saturday ams to hear your voice
no problem man, for 1989 its really great😇
May God bless mel
In aussie he was replaced by Keith Scott in the same year.
It wasn’t only a illness, they didn’t put up his bed rails in the hospital.
Is it from I taw a putty tat in uncensored
1:57 that pestey ..... my wife forever and ever
Wish Mel Blanc reprised his roles as the classic Looney Tunes characters on Tiny Toon Adventures before his death as he would’ve recorded his lines and read for the parts.
RIP all memories the cartoon looney tunes all voices will be legend is Mel Blanc.😇
0:43 Hmmm, yeah I don’t think he would’ve been able to have voiced him in Roger Rabbit.
E Biddy Be, Ah Biddy Be, Biddy Be -That's All Pholks!
Rip Peter cullen?
Fortunately, Peter Cullen is still alive.
Long Illness?!?! He fell out of bed at the hospital cause some nurse forgot to put the rails up to stop that from happening and broke his hip. He was in the hospital to have his lungs cleared out, as was his common practice when he had an unusually heavy work load. The man had ailments from getting older but was in good health till that happened. LONG ILLNESS MY...THAT'S DESSSSPICABLE!
