What a voice. CBS radio will never be the same. Prayers for the family.
I loved his voice. God bless him.
In The News was the Saturday morning news nugget for kids. I think Cristopher Glenn's voice is what made me a news junky.
Yes, that voice. Godspeed, sir and our prayers for your family.
The guy who did news in between the saturday cartoons on CBS.
I was more of a "Schoolhouse Rock" kid myself.
Christopher Glenn had great pipes.
>>On a happier note, another highlight was the 1984 Democratic national convention, when Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman vice presidential candidate. "People standing up, locking arms and rocking back and forth, and singing and cheering and clapping...."<<
I would call that a lowlight, but that's just me.
Xer ping...
Sounds more like the Wellstone funeral.
First heard his voice during Saturday morning cartoons-- made a huge impression on me and made the segments very watchable.
Good work, sir. Take your rest.
Too young.
Then you should like these....

Pretty pathetic when songs for a kids show back then is a 1000 times better than the shiet you hear today from the pros who get multiple awards seemingly every week.
Also remember this, the Jackson Five?

The greatest album ever made is the Jackson Fives greatest hits... I begged my mother for months to buy it for me in the early `70`s, I was ten years old at the time and when she finally did it blew my mind. I played the grooves down on that record into oblivion.
Last weekend I took my kids to the "Schoolhouse Rock" musical. And since then I can't get that darned "Interplanet Janet" song out of my head.
And yes due to popular demand from the kids, I already found and downloaded all the Schoolhouse Rock songs I could find from YouTube.
It just goes to show what music is all about; The music. It doesn`t matter what the image is, how many times Madonna "shocks" or what video they make, or how many grammy awards they throw at it, if it isn`t good it won`t last. A good song always lives, a song that is "real" (to quote Stevie Ray Vaughn). There is one song in that school rock that always blew my mind "Figure eight" which I can`t find...The last time I saw it must have been 30 years ago, and it showed a girl skating a figure 8 on ice, and I couldn`t believe how incredible the melody was in that thing. It started out in this Mozart type classical thing then went into this pop groove, just incredible stuff.
I "knew" his voice.
Rest in peace.
