The artist is Joe Henry and "God Only Knows" is taken from his 2007 album, "Civilians." Download here: http://www.amazon.com/Civilians-Joe-Henry/dp/B000UE64SS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1230817643&sr=1-1

I am thrilled to see BRAD RENFRO remembered. At last he is recognized by the entertainment industry. The Oscars tribute forgot him earlier. This loyal fan is glad to see him respected here.

I was at his gravesite on his birthday to honor him. I will be there in 2 weeks on the day we lost him.

I can't imagine that this solemn loop will not be updated to include Eartha Kitt.

I'm glad this memoriam included John Phillip Law and Robert DoQui -- two very underrated actors.

But I'm a bit saddened that this montage did not include the likes of Don S. Davis, Estelle Getty, Sam Bottoms, and Robert Prosky.

Hopefully they may update this to include Sam Bottoms and Robert Prosky at least.

Amanda, tonight I also realized they didn't get Beverly Garland in the tribute. So they replaced someone for Van instead of just adding him in, and missed several people. Hmm. Guess that's the way it always goes.

And yes, I did change my profile icon -- apparently I'm confusing some people (I'm looking at you, CS Ed).

There was one other person who I remember they missed. Lilyan Chauvin. Best known to me as Mother Superior in Silent Night, Deadly Night, but man, she had a resume!

I hope these posts don't sound like I'm putting down the wonderful tribute TCM did. That is not my intention...

I agree this was lovely, but the exclusion of Estelle Getty upset me. When she died it was the end of an era.

I was pleased to see Vampira and Forest Ackerman too. It's nice to see people given a little bit of respect. That's the least they deserve

Lois Nettleton ruled, btw.

2008-12-13T16:09:00.000-06:00

The nice thing about TCM's farewell every year is that it's very loving and inclusive. I doubt that the Oscars will have Vampira or Ackerman, despite being beloved by fans.

TCM always has plenty of time for the supporting players in their tributes, and this year has plenty of sad memories on that scale - tough year.

2008-12-13T11:19:00.000-06:00

I was amazed at the number of people on this list who I was not even aware has passed away in the past year. I know Van Johnson wasn't listed here, but I completely missed the news of his passing. Very unfortunate, as he was certainly a major figure in Hollywood's golden age.

2008-12-12T23:05:00.000-06:00

Is it me, or does the 2008 list seem even more relentless than usual, even before piling Van Johnson (maybe even Bettie Page?)on top? It looks like less time is spent lingering over the bigger names (Newman, Heston) than in past years to give more people their due. The effect is rather overwhelming.

You were probably where I was when Robert DoQui passed on, Ivan. I didn't know until I saw this montage.

Someone will have the song identified soon, jazzman, they always do. I'm browsing forums and stuff to find out and I'll update when I get it.

Florence: I couldn't watch the 2006 "Remembers" more than twice, there were too many in that reel that just broke my heart. 2008 was bad, but 2006 just about killed me.

These have the same effect on me, too. Oh, Anita Page! I always feel like sobbing at the end. Thanks for sharing.

The music to the 2008 TCM Remembers Tribute is beautiful.

Any idea who the artist is and the name of the song?
