3. I was shocked to read about this....
He is one of my favorite talents -- I am sorry that I never got the chance to see him perform in person.

His number from "Porgy & Bess" in "White Nights" ALWAYS blew me away -- he had old school talent that you don't see too often these days.

And he wasn't too bad on the eyes either! I had a major crush on him for years. :)

We lost an amazing performer today.

4. Plenty of talent, no doubt there
I always thought he looked like a bug-eyed space alien

5. More bad news!
I always loved him in "Running Scared," the 1986 police-buddy-film that he made with Billy Crystal.

:-(

6. oh no!
I had no idea he had cancer. I am so sorry to hear about this as he is one of my favorite performers. Talent unmatched.

No wonder we haven't seen him in many performances of late.

Oh man, this is really a downer.

You're a sentence short. Lock the thread. This is also lounge stuff.
