Remmebering a Spanish Television Legend...Raúl Velasco

Hi Everyone,

I truly hoped that you great thanksgiving day last week.

Unfornatly , There was another passing for Television, This time on Spanish TV.
If you ever saw during weekends on the Spanish network Univision during the 1970's , 80's and 90's, There was one show on every sunday called "Siempre en Domingo", that aired about 7 or 8:00 at night. Better Known as "El Senor" Raul Velasco, he was the Ed Sullivan, Dick Clark of Mexico and Latin America. He made Ricky Martin and Julio Iglesias, among others as household names in latin homes. He died of complication of heart and hapatus illines. Also, he had tranplant recently many years ago. My memories of his show would be seeing Julio Iglesias, but the Trio's that he brought up. Those's were classics as well as all of his shows. He retired in late 90's from his legendary show. He's beloved in Mexico and everywhere else. Ironcailly, He died on Sunday oddly a often on same title of show "Domingo". He might be gone however his long archive of video will no doubt last.

Rual, May God Bless your Soul,
Thank You - Mucho Gracias

Mitch.

Saying So Long to Another TV Friend, Ed Bradley

Hi everyone,

This is a special note today, a passing of a legend in televison and on radio.

Ed Bradley, without a doubt will be missed everyone. He had such a presence.
"Easy Ed" as he was known at CBS and he was just that. The way he interview anyone is something that should be taken note by anybody in television journalism.

I believe there was no one better to represent in the "advil" commercial than Ed Bradley during his stint in the late 1980's and early 90's.

I'm saddened that I didn't get to meet him at CBS when I was a intern at WCBS Newsradio 8.80 earlier this year. However, I feel very honored to walk in the same steps in building that Ed , Dan Rather and Walter Cronkitein were in. Ed Bradley's career took off during an assignment in Cambodia in 1971, getting nearly killed in the process of reporting. He was the first Black person to anchor the evening news, among other accomplishments in his career at CBS. However, he was better known for more than 25 years as one of the"mod squad of reports" for "60 Mintues".


My condolence for CBS Family, including where he began at WCBS and "60 Mintues".

Speacial Thank to The AP and CBS for Photos.

Ed , May God bless you, You may be gone but not forgotten, Thanks

Mitch.
