For Robert...
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour...

Robert Merill was one of the great singers of our time and will be remembered not only as a singer, but a warm and wonderful human being. May he rest in peace.

I was a vocal student for many years in my twenties and early thirties. Robert Merrill was my hero. Never has there been such a beautiful, effortless sound that seemigly was detached from any physical entity. It just happened. Listening to him gave me great encouragement to press on many times. I had the thrill of meeting him at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. I'll always be grateful for this man.

It was in the early '50s when I first (12 years old) listened to a 78 record of Merrill singing the famous aria from "The barber of Seville" and a short aria from Zaza by Leoncavallo. In 55 years I never heard a finer baritone. The quality, the color and the warmth - unmatched. I did not have the privilage seeing him on stage. The closest I came was watching him on a 1969 TV program, where he also showed a pleasant and kind sense of humor. What a lovely human being!

Robert Merrill was one of God's gifts to singers and lovers of great voices. The distintive "buzz" in his tone, set him apart from even the finest of baritones. This golden voice will not be forgotten--ever!

In 1972, I was in New York studying singing with Rose Bampton. As I was performing Micaela with Opéra du Québec in Montreal, she gave me ticket to hear Carmen at the Met. Fortunately, I met Robert Merrill which I have appreciated his wonderful voice. I keep an excellent souvenir of him. Micheline René, Montréal,Canada.
