James Rado

I have known and had a creative friendship with James Rado since appearing in his Musical sequel to Hair, Rainbow, at the Orpheum Theater in the East Village 1973-74. The music was out-of-this world yet never released! Jim as we called him, was a wonderful, mirthful presence and a source of hopeful, and even until the end, youthful excitement, to so many of us Actors and Singers. Our Condolences go out to the family of James Rado. He will be missed.

My condolences.

I send my heart and gratitude to you Jim Rado and to you Ted. You and your brother lit the spark of my life.

You will be remembered for how you wrote lyrics for shows.

Everyone has lost a true talent! My prayers for family and friends. He is someone's angel now. I believe he was a distant cousin. My mother spoke of him when I was very very young and loved all the music in Hair.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. May God also give you peace.
