LOS ANGELES — Robert Goulet, the handsome, big-voiced baritone whose Broadway debut in "Camelot" launched an award-winning stage and recording career, has died. He was 73.
The singer died Tuesday morning in a Los Angeles hospital while awaiting a lung transplant, said a Goulet spokesman in an e-mail.
He had been awaiting a lung transplant at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after being diagnosed with a rare form of pulmonary fibrosis in September.
Deborah Kerr died last week. Goulet was the third, hopefully
Elliot Spitzer?
BUMP!
He will be missed...what a suberb voice.
Honest:
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Friedman Paul Erhardt, the German-born cook known as «Chef Tell» who was one of America’s pioneering television chefs, has died. He was 63.
Erhardt died of heart failure on Friday at his home in Upper Black Eddy, in Bucks County.
The mustachioed Erhardt was a fixture on the Philadelphia dining scene in the 1970s

Back in the summer of 1969 he was performing Camelot at a city park in Denver. At the time I lived close by and attended a couple of the performances. The man had a great voice.
RIP
Oh wow...that is sad. I’ve seen him on dozens and dozens of shows. He seemed like a really fun guy.
Dunno what I’ll do when Slim passes.
Very sad. I had the pleasure of doing a phone interview with him a number of years ago in connection with an article I was writing on his series “Blue Light.” Then a few years ago when he was in LA doing “South Pacific,” I was able to meet him in person after the show. When he learned it was my wife’s birthday, he snatched the program from me and signed it with birthday wishes. Really a nice guy, and a much better actor than he was ever given credit for.
I saw that Porter Wagoner, country music Hall of Famer, died a couple of days ago.
I’m sorry to hear that. He seemed like a good guy with a fabulous voice. Condolences to his wife and family.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Goulet. A great voice has been silenced.
He had more recently done those Eagle Nuts commercials. The ones where they say something like, in the afternoon when your energy is low, Robert Goulet comes in and messes with your stuff. Goofy commercials, but they still made me laugh.
He also was a villain in one of the Naked Gun movies, I think the second one.
Now he can sing with the angels in the choirs of heaven.
Actually, he didn’t. But that is a rather crude comment to make. He didn’t have any connection to her AFAIK. Your basis for being so nasty?
He also wasn’t above poking fun at his own image with Carol Burnett or in those Naked Gun movies.
Carol Lawrence? I thought his first wife (?) was named Edie.
When the time comes, just be brave Skeeter (its what Slim would want you to do).
