Ben Powers Impersonations.

[@misterb7070]

I had the honor of taking care of this brother near the end of his life , still cracking jokes and trying to be upbeat when things looked bleak. He taught me a new approach on life

[@sophisticatedmm3632]

Wow that's a nice memory of him

[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

Wow. I could always see that spirit in him. He was so talented and imo very overlooked but never bitter or thirsty. I really admire Ben Powers. Thanks for sharing that. I am sure you were a part of his experience at the end being still a joyful one in spite of!

He was so handsome. Rest In Paradise.

I just watched this episode on MeTV 12/8/2024 and man I was so impressed. What a good looking guy and a talented man on top of that. Each generation, God gives us someone to entertain us in times when we need someone. Thank you Ben Powers for your gift to the world.

You know, Even a full life is short. So when you fully understand just how lucky you are to be here for this short time..... Live like you know tomorrow isn't promised. God Bless Ben Powers and may he rest in peace.

[@dhornjr1]

You'll be missed, Ben. I posted this just last December to remind people how talented you were and now you're gone. I hope you had the opportunity to see what I wrote about you.

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

dhornjr1 I'd like to ask you a question, stranger that I am. But would you agree with me, from Ben's great looks, that he would have been the candidate most likely to play country & western music legend, Charley Pride? Look at the close resemblance. I think Powers would've been a slam dunk in the role!

[@dhornjr1]

Jay Young That's a good catch. He did bear a slight resemblance to Charley Pride. And with his musical ability, I'm sure he could have done a spot-on impression of Pride.

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

dhornjr1 Thanks for your agreement. Look, I'm a realist. This is, after all, tough cyberspace. But I sometimes wonder about people who do casting, now that I'm past the Wow! stage of life. For example, wouldn't you have thought Academy Award nominee Viola Davis would've been a better match for the role of Nina Simone? As with Ben, both resemblance and acting ability! Again, thanks.

[@ms.yolanda3723]

dhornjr1 who were the last 2 impressions? Preferably when he sang "On my own..."

[@dhornjr1]

Ms. Yolanda Johnny Mathis was the "Own my own" part. The very end was just some made up stuff, I think.

[@TripleX-nw1ts]

Now that's awesome talent there!!!

[@TSquared2001]

Man this was EPIC!

[@jodibrooklyn1033]

I consider myself to be a mega Good Times fan. But somehow it got by me that he had passed away several years ago. Good looking and immensely talented.

[@PixelPunisher.Official]

Was watching an epi of GT yesterday and thinking to myself where is he now? Just saw on a friends fb post that he passed. He was so talented and like others have said highly underrated as an actor. RIP Mr. Powers.

[@luxuryvoyagetravels]

So talented ❤

[@DougSmithBass]

Thanks so much for posting ! Sorry to say we did not know Ben had passed. We played his act many times in the Pocono Mts at Pocono Gardens Lodge in PA. We think he actually influenced Robin Williams. Ben was A great, talented and kind human being.
