Yvette, as with too many artists, perhaps, it's easy to love Goodman's music...rather easy, apparently, to not have loved Goodman himself...glad you liked the small set here...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-60736418454597996522013-01-30T15:15:28.057-05:002013-01-30T15:15:28.057-05:00Oh, I see you already looked it up.Oh, I see you already looked it up.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-81150361968492699022013-01-30T15:14:44.565-05:002013-01-30T15:14:44.565-05:00I think it's Ray somebody, but don't have ...I think it's Ray somebody, but don't have it available right now.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-7001967106481300952013-01-30T14:03:57.650-05:002013-01-30T14:03:57.650-05:00Loved these, Todd.

You can’t even take the best of them seriously. How often do you listen to a record just for the vocal, I know I never do. It’s just something you’ve got to do because the public wants it and if I have to have a boy singer with me it might as well be one the public likes. And they certainly seem to like Art. So more power to him.”Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-45885935248013941332013-01-27T15:51:29.600-05:002013-01-27T15:51:29.600-05:00Who is the male vocalist, Richard?
