For the living know that they shall die:
but the dead know not any thing,
.... for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ecclesiastes 9:5
Bob Haring & His Orchestra prove Solomon right......He (& they) are one of many in the entertainment business who hit it big.....Bob
Haring was at his peak on the charts hitting #1 in the 1920's (less than a full century ago). Now he is virtually unknown....even when & where he died is forgotten!!!
 |
His 1929 #1 hit "Pagan Love Song" --
now forgotten in the mist of time
|
Yet, there are people alive today who were living while he was at the top of the music charts...all those sales, all those times in the roaring 20's that his songs came over the radio, all those ticket sales for concerts, etc., - yet within a century he was forgotten....multiply that for all the silent era movie stars, musicians and Vaudeville performers & sports heroes who have been forgotten by more than 99% of us.
