Talk:Rosey Grier

Merger

I merged this article as requested with Roosevelt Grier under the more common name Rosey Grier. More info needs to be added about his days as a player at Penn State by the way. --Jtalledo 20:20, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"It's All Right to Cry"

How famous is this song, and the fact that he sang it? I think it should be mentioned, but, then again, I remember how big the album "Free to Be You and Me" was when it came out.FlaviaR 05:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I just added a brief paragraph about his recording career, which didn't seem to get a mention, but it needs more. Lyn50 (talk) 23:38, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Pam Grier

It is rumored that Rosey and Pam Grier are cousins, but her memoir Foxy: My Life in Three Acts (p. 83) states that they are not. Cherdt (talk) 20:36, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

This review by Roger Ebert calls them siblings; is disabusing readers of this myth worth an edit?

Acting credits

My memory is very hazy on this, but didn't he appear in the music video for "(Nothing Serious) Just Buggin’" by Whistle? RadioKAOS  – Talk to me, Billy 20:23, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Likewise I'm certain he appeared as himself in an episode of Magnum PI (the original series). But neither IMDB nor the wiki articles on Magnum episodes identify the specific episode. Trhao (talk) 23:29, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

All Pro years confusing

The year by year articles showing who was on the all pro teams differs from the list of players on all pro teams found on pro-football reference. For now I've tried to make this article agree the wiki all pro articles. But these differences still need to addressed... I left some of the all pro references in where pro-football lists him as 2nd team and he's not mentioned on the wiki version of the same years.

All American years confusing

The article originally implied Grier was an all american in football. But everything I've seen thus far suggests that is incorrect - he was all american in college track and field. Further confusing things - one external article stated he was a high school all american. This point could use further clarification and good references. Trhao (talk) 23:34, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
