Was 'Saying Goodbye' Performed at Jim Henson's Funeral?


. . . because if it wasn't, it should have been and would have been a nice memorial to the man. You don't have to be a huge Muppets fan to hear that song and get a little emotional. Great song.

I recall Rainbow Connection (I think), as well as Bein' Green. At least, I think they were. I only caught fragments of it.

They sang "Lydia The Tattoo'd Lady" (an old song that was performed on the muppet show) "Turn the World Around" that is what I know.

I wish that song was on itunes. I always think of Jim when I hear it

It fits the ending credits, doesn't it? And it would be several years before they'd be back.

They also performed a song called "One Voice" (I believe) which was really cool it started with one of the Muppet performers singing and then more and more came on stage and joined in.

They did it on a special tribute on Entertainment Tonight (I think it was that, if not ABC World News) It was pretty sad. I was only 1 when he died so I didn't see this until recently. The clip is somewhere on Youtube

They had Big Bird sing Bein Green at the memorial service, and poor Carroll Spinney was choked up and crying inside the suit so it sounded like Big Bird was crying. :(

Like the proverbial cheese, I stand alone. Even while seated.
