“Holiday Sing Along With Mitch” was released in December, 1961 and reached number one on the Billboard chart.

Choral conductor #MitchMiller’s popular Sing Along albums inspired a weekly NBC variety series (1961-64) featuring tenor #BobMcGrath (1932-2022) — later a star of #SesameStreet.

Can we PLEASE stop calling Elon “Elmo”? Especially given the death of Bob McGrath yesterday. Elmo is a lovely, harmless puppet. Elon is a dreadful, self-involved puppet of Russia & right win politics. I’ve taken to calling him Elno. Please consider finding another name. #Elon #ElonMusk #Elmo #Elno #BobMcGrath #SesameStreet

Signing in the rain in tribute to #BobMcGrath from "Sesame Street.

[I tried to find a video of Bob singing "Signing in the Rain," but couldn't for some reason.]

RIP Bob from #SesameStreet.

Through the 2000s, some friends and I ran an article series in which we picked one of life's Big Questions, then emailed it to every celebrity address we could find.

#BobMcGrath gave the sweetest reply imaginable to "why does the sun shine?"

"Sesame Street"’s Bob McGrath has died. The sad news was shared on the performer’s Facebook page, which noted, “He died peacefully at home, surrounded by his family.” McGrath was one of "Sesame Street"’s founding cast members: a genial neighbor whose kind manner made him a living room friend to generations of children. McGrath retired from "Sesame Street" in 2017 – but left a lasting mark on generations of #SesameStreet viewers. He was 90 years old.

#BobMcGrath No idea why I couldn’t find any posts about this on Mastadon…but “Bob” from “Old School” Sesame Street (1969-2000ish) has passed. For those of us of a certain age, Bob was a huge part of very formative childhood memories. “Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood” for example. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ God speed, Bob. Thank you for being a presence— and an educational one— in our lives. Thank you.

saddened to hear about this Bob lived an incredible life and brought so much joy to a lot of children who grew up with Sesame Street (myself included).

#BobMcGrath from the #SesameStreet show in the U.S. passed away on Dec 4th.

I watched him as a boy, in a little country town during the last pre-digital gasp of the 20th century.

Those are distant, faded memories for me now, my sitting there in the den floor of my childhood home, being taught by man and muppet. But they are suffused with SO much happiness.

This is my very favorite song of his from the show:

Just two summers ago, #EmilioDelgado and #BobMcGrath Zoom-bombed me when I was on the virtual hustings to promote my book “Sunny Days.” We’ve now lost both, but then, we’d already gained so much from them. #RIP #SesameStreet

This is a sweet moment from 2020 in which #BobMcGrath Zoom-bombed me during a virtual book talk to sing “Who Are the People in Your (Virtual) Neighborhood?” He was exactly what you hoped he would be like. #RIP #SesameStreet

This is an interesting piece of history.
During the early days of Sesame Street, it seemed like there was several moments where they didn't mind showing the " Anything Muppet " process.
But what makes this even more interesting is it's literally a blooper reel kept on the show. :)
Remembering Bob McGrath ( & Jim Henson ).
