    I pursued stage and entertainment as an adult, primarily inspired by Allan Sherman and Bill Cosby. Both made me realize how clever and creative one could be with comedy. This is a lovely short retrospective of a unique, quirky man. Thank you!

    He was a very funny and talented man. I love his songs. One is Old King Louie 😂💖. The other one is the twelve days of Christmas. He died too young at 48. Died the day before his 49th Birthday. At least his songs live forever.

      Him and Vince Guaraldi seem to have quite a lot in common.
      Both were overnight sensations.
      Both are primary remembered for one song
      Both won Grammys
      Both had a divorce
      Both died while/after performing
