Sesame Street icon Bob McGrath dies aged 90
The actor, tenor singer, and children's author was one of the longest-running human characters on Sesame Street, along with Loretta Long, who played Susan Robinson.Together with their furry, friendly, and occasionally grouchy muppet friends, McGrath and the Sesame Street family taught children everything from counting to kindness, through songs such as People In Your Neighbourhood.
In the 1960s he was a singer in the NBC television show Sing Along With Mitch, and he also became a successful folk singer in Japan."I thought, 'Hmm, here's another silly kiddie's show that doesn't mean that much,'"But he eventually joined Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Bert, and Ernie in 1969 for the show's pilot.
Actor Holly Robinson Peete, whose late father Matt Robinson was also an inaugural cast member and show producer, said McGrath was "the nicest, sweetest, kindest man" who was "loved all over the world".More on this story
