He was great on The Scooby Doo Show.
RIP
And don’t forget “Mister Roberts”, “The Apartment”, “Some Like It Hot”, and a ton of other great roles.
Oh, wait –

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
My late father took me to watch the Globetrotters play the Washington Generals when I was a kid. Meadowlark and Curly Neal were my favorites. They really knew how to put on a great show.
Loved the Globetrotters since I was a kid. Even though the modern political system is based on their act: The Democrats are the Globetrotters – a fake team that’s accomplishments are total theatre. The Republicans are the hapless team that manages to lose to the Globetrotters every time, although, in reality the game is fixed and they are all in on the same schtick where everyone makes out like a bandit in their show.
nobody could hit a mid-court hook shot with nothing but net like the meadowlark
Saw the HGT live when I was maybe 14 y.o. And of course saw them many more times on TV when I was young. The goal was spreading laughs to every one for a couple of hours.
He was a great showman! I always think of him when I hear their music.

I saw him playing with the Globetrotters v the Washington Generals when I was a kid also.
Those guys were amazing to me. They made what they did look effortless and didn’t hid their pleasure at having fun. It was a bit of magic.
Wow….. I actually know someone.
Hope he was in his 90’s
I was fortunate enough to see him and Curly in action. That puts me up around 183,
He sat om my lap when I was about 9 or 10 at a game I went to. What a thrill it was for a kid!
Peace Meadowlark, and thanks for the fun!
His smile could light the world. Thanks and RIP.
The world is naturally now just a bit dimmer. RIP Meadowlark
Here’s a trivia question for you:
Did the Harlem Globetrotters ever lose a game?
?
Sweet Georgia Brown holds a special place in my heart.
Awesome song related to my heritage.
Loved watching the Harlem Globetrotters when I was a kid.
Saw the Globetrotters in person around 12 years old.
RIP Meadowlark Lemon. You were the best of the basketball player/showman.

once I think?…
Now we are waiting for the great Boehnerlark Orange, of the Washington GOPe Generals, to pass.
Depends on who you talk to, but once for sure in 1971. Maybe twice.
