Saw the limelighters when I was a youth. This man with a different, remarkable voice made a hell of an impression. Followed his works all my life. Fantastic singer. One of a kind like Mathis, Crosby, Sinatra and the like...

Saw him in Sacramento. He told us he was going to sing his most profitable song, and launched into "Things go better with Coca Cola". We roared and laughed, the roof blew off.
