In a tribute to the late, great James Earl Jones, we celebrate his iconic reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven. His beautiful baritone voice brought a chillingly evocative cadence to Poe’s tale of a man grappling with the loss of his beloved Lenore.

James Earl Jones also graced The Simpsons with his presence, reprising this unforgettable performance in the very first Treehouse of Horror episode in 1990.

Rest in peace, James Earl Jones. Your voice will forever echo in our hearts.
