What a beautiful post. How fitting that Robert Goulet would be remembered by the song, “If Ever I Would Leave You.”
Thank you nit, I’m glad you liked it.
I saw someone’s post early in the thread that said, “If Ever I Should Leave You”, it wouldn’t be in autumn. It kindof touched my heart.
It’s gonna be a scary time. We’ll be left wide open to a Mars Attack!
I did too. I was always Lancelot. He had the best songs. I will miss you, Robert Goulet. Rest in peace!
You know, it was confusing. I did a LOT of Google searching for posters of his Broadway shows. The one I turned up said that he was King Arthur and you note that he was way down in the list of names in that one.
I am in Texas and not familiar with what all he did on stage. Also, I believe the larger poster I found was on page 36 or somesuch on one of my Google searches or I’d find and post the link.
Lol, I just went with what I could find, and as you noted - it may be incorrect. I’m thinking he may have been in Camelot a number of times in various plays??
Heading for bed, night.
Just dang! I loved those commercials for the nuts with him messing up peoples’ stuff in the office while they’re zoning out.
That being said, I am very appreciative of the fact that your link of him singing the song by far made me appreciate him now more than ever. He was one of the great singers on the American musical theater stage - make no bones about it.
I was always Julie Andrews - in anything she did. She made it easy for someone like me to sing along. I modeled my own solo voice after hers. Some of the crispest diction ever delivered.
As I recall, he didn’t have a lot of strong memories about it (it only ran about 13 episodes or so). I got much more material from the show’s creators, Larry Cohen and Walter Grauman.
Although the series as such has never been released on home video, this year Fox released the “I Deal in Danger” on DVD, which was the feature compiled from the story arc of the first three or four episodes.
Wow. Didn’t know he was ill. May he rest in peace.
>Great voice! Funny, too!
>Robert Goulet Emerald nuts commercial
I think that has to be the funniest commercial I’ve ever seen and one of the very best all time Superbowl commercials. It’s sad to see him go, but maybe he’ll still be “messing with my stuff” from beyond!
I haven’t heard that song in such a long time! First time I ever heard it was in the 80’s on a folk show on WHYY out of Philly. Whitaker’s voice is like silk.
Thank you, I’m glad you got some enjoyment out of it and if you look you will see that I changed the wording on the one image, lol.
It’s magic!!
Oh my goodness, I hadn’t heard about Deborah Kerr! Drat!

Very impressive!
Thank you devolve. We are losing some of the good ones. That song is a lovely one too.
