What is the name of the song and who sings it? I'd like to read the lyrics.

The song is "Wait - M83"

+omgangiepants Me too. Total agreement. Come back to watch this periodically and am newly amazed.

Lynne Perkins: So beautifully said, your comment is a tribute in itself. It brought tears to my eyes to read this. Thank you for making me feel a connection in the sometimes too lonely world of loss and nostalgia. I'm 63 yrs old, almost 5 yrs ago felt the sharp pain of loss and the depth of the word "never" when my 35 yr old son was killed ( homicide and tragedy). If I know there are people who feel the worth of lives gone by, it's helpful for me to be strong. Thank you for your wonderfully thoughtful comments on this 2012 tcm tribute.

hollisterpatricia, my heart goes out to you. Be assured that there are millions of people who, if they knew what has happened to you, would reach across the miles to envelop you in their arms. Please add my arms to theirs. "Nostalgia" is a misleading word, isn't it? It implies merely a looking-back at the past, and not the sharp pain that often comes with it. I feel pain when I think, "But wait a minute....this had WORTH! Why isn't it appreciated now? Why can't people see it's what we need....NOW?" It's debilitating, thinking of the mores and manners we grew up with being passé--the values of the past being ridiculed. With nothing to replace them with, we are adrift. I think that's why we cling to popular culture--it's the only culture we have in the modern world! And yet blink, and it's gone. And is taken up by another generation as their one truth. Heaven help us!

+Lynne Perkins this is one of the best comments I have ever read!!

So well Said!!

I agree!!

What is the name of this song? group?

Found it. M83 - "Wait".

My feelings exactly. I used to pass by the Starlight Drive In and went by myself to see one of the old movies there.

I was born in 52....a lot of memories watching TV and movies with family and friends no longer with us. The world is a different place........ not the same. At least we have some great memories of family and friends. I hope we can have more good times but the noose is getting tighter around our necks. Take care.

I love the eeriness....and the sadness it conveys...is as if tha theater came alive.....one....last....time

What is the name of the song? group?

Found it M83 - "Wait". thanks.

This one got to me when it first aired. I always liked him, especially in McHale's Navy (which I know was a TV show and not a movie). Will always remind me of the fact that my husband got to meet him. He was here in Vegas for an airshow to promote his Airwolf show. My husband worked for a t-shirt printing shop so he got to sit next to him at the table while he signed autographs for fans. Said "Ernie" was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

+Pamela Rose = I love Larry Hagman in I dream of Jeannie, I think he played a evil son of Bitch in Dallas. I was crazy about Davy Jones in Monkees, when I was Ten years old, that was thirty-one years ago..

Just so you knw: one of the greatest straight men ever...watch a few episodes of "I Dream of Jeannie"...he got more laughs then the character actors. In the pantheon of Jack Klugman, Eric Mormack, etc....

Hagman was originally considered by the producers of "The Incredible Hulk" TV series for the role of Dr. David Banner, but he turned it down. Hagman was offered to portray the role of J.R. Ewing on Dallas. Bill Bixby got the part to play Banner.

Hopefully they’ll include Peter Tork in this years video as well. Hard to believe half the Monkees are now gone.

@@rockisheaven Hell. Half the Monkees, half the Beatles, The Who. and The Door.

+Darrell Russ She was in A movie. An un-credited bit part in "Coming to America". If the video included clips of "actors" like Donna Summer, the video would be 3 months long.

+Pernell Harrison Same as my other comment. They can't include EVERYBODY who died in a year, unless you want a 15 hour video. WTF? I loved Richard Dawson on TV, but he appeared in ONE film as of course a television game show host in "The Running Man". Come on people.

Donna Summer was also in TGIF in 1970's, singing Last Dance.

🤔 Yes,l agree. Dick Clark always said,Donna Summer is/was one of the most under appreciated performers around. 😒 TCM proves that point,yet again.

I only watched this to see if Donna was included. I wasn't hopeful but when I saw so many other musicians/pop stars included I thought she stood a chance so can't help but be disappointed they excluded her. As well as TGIF/Last Dance her music was often memorably used in the movies, eg Looking For Mr Goodbar, The Full Monty... not to mention the movie theme songs she performed, eg The Deep, Foxes.

I've heard it said that Life makes us witness our own demise. It's also a time of memories and reflecting on the good and bad things one has done. Like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs of the scales that weigh the heart and will the good one has done cause the scale to balance. 😢

Here i am in 2019, looking back on this because I'll never forget the music and the Starlight Theater being perfect for the way i was feeling that year. You ser, my son had died in 2011, his death was a homicide, he had been shot and killed in March 2011. It was brought about by a selfish woman's love of drama in her life. My son had no reason to think that he would have a gun pointing at him from behind a curtained doorway. The ballet struck his throat, he died within minutes.

M83-Wait

2012 very first one on video

@@annemoore5004 That was him in the film, "A Face In the Crowd."

He was riding on the train car at the beginning

She's in the 2011 tribute :)

srprincess, not only that, but they show her, heartbreakingly, walking away from us into the rain.

No They didn't, she was at the very end of 2011 one, it was very end.

They always show the very great ones at the end.

+jetdawgs101 Andy Williams was also great.

jetdawgs101 To be precise, he got 4 seconds (same as Andy Williams), and Griffith was mentioned at the very beginning. That's pretty great, no?

I c ur point, good reply, peace,,,,,,,

jetdawgs101 You’re so wrong
