Talk about your emotional gut punches.
Singer Bob McGrath was one of the original human cast members of Sesame Street, and continued with the series for nearly 50 years, retiring in 2017 after a 48 year run. Bob returned to television with Sesame Street after a run on Sing Along With Mitch a few years earlier, and the earliest Street albums were released on Columbia, where McGrath had recorded with Mitch Miller until Miller left the label in 1965.
We're sad to report that McGrath has passed away at the age of 90.
What we're not sure of, of course is whether or not PBS or HBO will pay tribute to McGrath's contributions to Sesame Street, including the "People in Your Neighborhood":
Rest in peace.
