If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

Here’s a blast from the past….

This book is quite old. It’s a tie-in to a TV show that no longer exists. A soap opera, to be specific. The show, perhaps unsurprising, was called Guiding Light; it aired for over fifty years, first on radio and then on television, amd since it had a brief crossover with Marvel Comics once, it was at one point technically said to be the longest-running story ever. And for much of my life, that was my show, y’all.

My grandmother and I watched two soaps when I was little: Days of Our Lives, and Guiding Light. I referred to the former as “Doc” (the pet name one character had for his Most Frequent Wife) and the latter as “Reva” (one of the more prominent characters on Guiding Light). I don’t recall much about GL from those early years, though; my main soap opera memories are of Days, and some bizarre storyline where Stefano DiMera had Marlena Evans in a cage and was somehow decapitating people left and right with a guillotine? And at one point, everyone assumed that John Black, Marlena’s Most Frequent Husband, was among the dead, except he came back - Days was always bad, even by soap opera standards, for bringing people back from the dead inexplicably; in the old days, I think, based on how everyone called Stefano “the Phoenix,” that they also had a sense of humor about this tendency. It was a later storyline - they killed half the town and said Marlena had become a serial killer and then, after she got shot by police I think, they then proceeded to resurrect her and everyone she’d supposedly killed on an island or something? I may be a little vague on the details, but I recall everyone agreeing it had been in seriously bad taste to apparently kill off the very elderly character Alice Horton and then resurrect her, since killing off a character that elderly is normally done as part of a respectful send-off after the actor dies in real life - involving similarly bizarre antics which ultimately made me abandon the show, though that could be because they had lost their sense of humor or maybe my standards, however fractionally, had increased. Now, I remember fondly other Days storylines - the whole Hope Brady/Princess Gina thing, “Gina” and John being mind-controlled secret agents due to some plot of Stefano’s at one point, everything to do with Cassie and Rex, Bo Brady coming back from the dead, having secretly been a secret agent all that time or something, just to almost immediately die again, etc. - and wonder if I’d have had no patience for them later, but I can’t say for sure. All I can say for sure is that by the time I hit middle school, Nan still watched both shows, but I only tuned into Days for special occasions. Guiding Light, however, was a daily ritual.

In middle school, I finished my day at 3:30, and was picked up from school by Nan. Before she left the house each day, she set the VCR to record Guiding Light, which came on at 3pm. We’d get home about 3:45, and by the time I ate something and got out of my school clothes, the episode would be done recording. And so, me and Nan would lay in the bedroom, fast-forwarding through the commercials, from 4:00 to just past 4:30, watching the show. This continued while I was in high school - even though I had crushing amounts of homework and frequently watched the tapes through eyes twisted almost shut because I was having migraines from stress multiple days per week - and to an extent when I was in college. When GL was cancelled, I skipped class for the first time in my life to watch the grand finale live even though it was also being taped, and I cried through the whole thing, even the less sad bits (mostly I recall the episode as sad, though I recall smiling through the tears at the hint, in the closing montage, that my OTP might have gotten back together, when we briefly saw them together in Europe). It felt like like a death in the family.

I didn’t entirely give up the soap opera habit, but it wasn’t the same after that. I recall I briefly tried to get into As The World Turns before it got cancelled. I attempted to make a return to Days, though that didn’t last long before I deemed some plot too stupid to watch anymore and went back to only tuning in on special occasions. I actually managed to get through several years of The Young and the Restless before I accidentally formed my second-ever OTP and got disgusted with the whole show after they unexpectedly broke it up - I still see bits and pieces, as Nan still watches it, but I largely wrote it off out of dislike for the character who ended up with half of OTP. And that takes me back to: what was it about GL that was so special?

It had stupid plots sometimes, goodness knows. There was the whole Reva cloning debacle, for instance. I ended up accepting Jeffrey O’Neill, but rolled my eyes copiously at a) the idea that he wasn’t actually Richard Winslow back from the dead and b) the eventual explanation for why no, this one time, he really wasn’t his old character back from the dead. I intensely disliked a pairing and a few characters in later seasons, and let’s not even discuss that time with the terrible Reva-cancer storyline - there seems to have been something about Reva and medical storylines, because the cloning debacle and the absurd cancer plot were the things that pushed me closest to giving up on the show. I never quite did, though, and while I will agree that GL’s second tie-in book was a pile of hot rubbish, I…actually rather liked Lorelei’s Diary up there. I googled it just now, and am rather disappointed to see Beth Chamberlin seems to have given up writing afterward; if she’d written anything else, I think I would have given it a shot.

I first read this book in eighth grade, and I read it over and over and over again over the years. I haven’t reread it in years (until this morning, anyway, lol), but it remains one of the books I would take with me if I decided it was time to abruptly leave the country (yes, there’s a list - what, from my 1700-book collection, I couldn’t leave behind if I had to start a new life on a new continent). It’s…special to me, somehow. Is it Great Literature? No. But it’s special to me, somehow.

Anyway, nice little trip down memory lane there.

Drake Hogestyn’s Final Episode: A Farewell to an Icon on Days of Our Lives

Drake Hogestyn, a legendary figure on Days of Our Lives, has captured the hearts of fans for decades with his portrayal of John Black. His final air date has left fans emotional as they say goodbye to one of the show’s most beloved characters. Hogestyn's legacy in daytime television will undoubtedly live on, and his departure marks the end of an era.

A Storied Career on Days of Our Lives: Hogestyn joined Days of Our Lives in 1986, initially portraying a character believed to be Roman Brady before later being revealed as John Black. His role was one of the most dynamic and memorable in the soap opera’s history. Known for his deep, magnetic connection with Marlena Evans (played by Deidre Hall), Hogestyn’s John Black became a cornerstone of the show, weaving through dramatic plotlines filled with love, loss, and adventure.

Throughout the years, Hogestyn's portrayal helped shape the quintessential soap opera hero—charming, loyal, and with a depth of emotion that resonated with fans. The on-screen romance between John and Marlena is regarded as one of the most iconic love stories in daytime television history.

Drake Hogestyn’s Final Days as John Black: Drake Hogestyn’s final episode aired on September 9, 2024. In his last scenes, John shares heartfelt moments with Marlena and other key characters, bringing a touching close to the journey of a character who had been an integral part of Days of Our Lives for nearly four decades. His last scenes were filled with emotion, a fitting end for a beloved character who helped define the show.

Fans were left with bittersweet emotions as they watched Hogestyn’s exit. His performance in these final moments was a reminder of why he was so beloved for so long. Although his character has been written off, there is hope among viewers that the door may remain open for future returns in special guest appearances or flashbacks.

A Lasting Legacy: Drake Hogestyn’s departure marks a major shift for Days of Our Lives. Few actors have made such a significant impact on daytime television as he has. John Black’s character was more than just a love interest or a hero; he embodied strength, loyalty, and the struggles of a man constantly redefining his identity.

While Hogestyn’s time on Days of Our Lives has come to a close, his legacy remains. The upcoming tribute episode is expected to give fans one last chance to celebrate the remarkable career of an actor who gave so much to the soap opera world.

Conclusion: Drake Hogestyn’s final episode as John Black on Days of Our Lives is not just the end of a character’s journey, but the close of a chapter in daytime television. His portrayal of John Black will forever be etched in the hearts of fans, and his impact on the show will be felt for years to come. Although fans must say farewell for now, Hogestyn’s legacy as a daytime TV icon will live on.
