Oh, that's sad. A childhood icon of entertainment, absolutely.

"Weezy, get me some LSD." Apparently Hemsley was a fan of prog. Awesome. :)

I also loved him as the voice of the boss on Jim Henson's "Dinosaurs."

In an interview from the 70s, Sherman Hemsley referred to Nektar as one of his favorite bands, and the album A Tab In The Ocean specifically. That small reference had a huge impact on my life.
