    “People going to think I’m crazy talking to this camera.” 1987 a looooong time ago.

    “I’m afraid people are gonna think I’m crazy for talking to this camera.” Actually, Nelson you were a pioneer and you didn’t even know it. Rest easy, sir.

    That vine tree he planted outside his house is still there today. His home is now a museum and the top floor is dedicated to him I visited today in New York !
  • How many others find Nelson's voice to be one of the most comforting, soothing voices they've ever heard (if not the most)? It's like a warm blanket.

    Happy 75th Birthday Nelson !!! Nelson is still Alive and will be for years to come here on YouTube! 🎂🍰

    It’s weird how you can miss someone that you just learned existed. ❤
  • @davidk4203
    Having your own camcorder in the 80s was a big deal.

    hello, I want to express my feelings here. I am a Turk and I met Nelson Sullivan, the owner of these videos, on YouTube 4 years ago. although he doesn't know me, he must feel in his grave that I admire him. I watch all of his videos and I spend most of my time on YouTube with his videos. I understand that you may be surprised and find crazy about what I said, but it makes me feel good. As someone who loves nostalgia, I can say that I am not an American, but I remembered that I am a human being at a time when technology has developed so much. What we feel, our feelings, our love and longing have no language, religion or race. I enjoy watching his videos, it's like I'm on a life journey with him, I love you my friend. RIP🙏

    He was essentially vloggin in 87, like he was producing this for youtube even before it existed. He truly engaged with this future audience, he knew what to do.
  • @trevizolga
    I love how he always said goodbye and hello to Blackout. He loved that dog ❤
  • Wish i could hug you Nelson and tell you how many of us on YouTube love you and appreciate your work !! ❤❤❤❤❤ sending you all my love wherever you are Nelson xxxx ❤❤❤❤❤

    Straight man here & I'm obsessed with Nelson. U just want to be his best friend. R.I P. Nelson..
  • Nelson passed away in 89. It's lovely seeing his work getting so much attention again.

    Eric needs to calm TF down about being in a hurry when Paula is on the phone. WE WERE OUTSIDE WAITING FOR YOU SINCE 2:15pm, ERIC. Sheeeeesh. 😂

    Here we are on the eve of your birthday of March 15th. You would turn 75 yrs old today. What would a 75 yr old Nelson be like. Not much different than 41 yr old Nelson I suspect. Forever young now and really more alive and present than ever thru your huge collection of video from the 80’s in NYC and Georgia. Millions of people have enjoyed and will enjoy your work. Happy Birthday Nelson! Kershaw’s finest!
  • I was just at Nelson’s house and sat in those same stairs 5:13 The front door is a bit more worn out and there is a Hermès boutique right next to his house. Was a true blessing having had the chance to go. I’ve been watching these videos for years and having had the chance to immerse in his world (34 years later) was very special
  • Hey Nelson, reaching back through time to send love and wish you a very belated happy birthday. I hope you somehow sense all the people from the future who love you!
