Clip from the Ed Sullivan Show: Bernadette Peters & Oliver (William Oliver Swofford) performing a musical skit called "Yes Yes Bernadette" The Ed Sullivan Show 1970.
Miracles Do Happen! So a few months back, I sat and stared at Bill's fan page and decided to tell him that I was almost out of material and needed his help. Within 24 hours I had new material from a very wonderful young lady, and within 1 week, two other fans sent in more pics. Not that I'm a loon, (mother had me tested), but I believe that Bill knows all about this page and based on all the kind messages and hearts he's touched - he's helping me out here. For those of you who personally knew Bill - you'd probably agree. (Thanks Bill)
This video is released as part of the celebration of life for William Oliver Swofford (2/22/1945 - 2/12/2000); It's being provided as a small gesture of my humble respect and love for this magnificent man taken from us too soon, yet he left these bits of evidence of his short but accomplished, admirable and humbled life. #BeLikeBill
He was a true renaissance man excelling in virtually every way. He was a loving humanitarian and the kindest, most humble man I’ve ever met. If I could do more to spread his beautiful music, character, and kindness, I would. This channel and his Facebook page reflect my sincere hope that through these efforts, his memory lives on, as it does in my heart. I’m forever grateful for his friendship, his faithful heart, his music, and his enduring love. 💙
Thank you all for your very kind comments & input!
