Is it sad that I just keep thinking "Robert Goulet, Robert Goulet, my god, Robert Goulet!"

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Also, no.

I thought of that, too.

I'm thinking it with affection!

I wonder if they replaced that name when they revived A Chorus Line. I mean, "Locked in the bathroom with 'Peyton Place'" - no way did that lyric stay as it was.

Aww. I'd heard he was ill a while ago. Just yesterday I was wondering how he was doing. Guess I know now. It's a real shame.

Yeah - he was waiting for a lung transplant when he died.

Damn.

Just a couple of weeks ago I posted to my LJ looking for any version of "If Ever I Would Leave You". I was hoping someone would have the original with RG, but alas, no replies as such.

RIP.

Right-click and save.

So, so sad! When I heard he was sick, awaiting lung transplants, I feared the worst, but hoped for the best.

When I was a kid, we had the Camelot soundtrack, and "If Ever I Would Leave You" was my favorite song. I was just thinking most of my memories of him are from when I was pretty young, seeing him sing and perform in skits on variety shows like Sonny & Cher, Flip Wilson, Laugh-In, and Tom Jones. And I'll always remember watching him sing "The Impossible Dream."

Okay, making myself cry, now. *sigh*

Yeah - "If Ever I Would Leave You" is the killer number on that album, isn't it.

I'm sure there are lots of his performances on youtube.

Amazing. Thank you *so* much.

This is very sad. I guess I can stop eating a handful of nuts every day since he won't be around to mess with my stuff. :(

Wasn't that wonderful? My favorite part is when he hid on the ceiling like a spider, or something out of a horror movie. He had a lovely sense of humor about himself.
