A remarkable run that's for sure and how many generations did he introduce to the crooners? especially via his duets

What a shame. His work will live on though. I saw him perform live multiple times.
The first time I saw him was in 1973... my wife and I were just married. We bought tickets to see him at the Playboy Club in NJ (now gone) for my parents and my wife's parents. We paid $8/ticket YES, it's TRUE!

A terrible shame. He was an incredibly talented guy.

I always liked it when he sang "I Left My Heart In San Francisco".
Reminds me of the Magical place it was back then,but sadly,no more.

I found a place….. I’m at Hershey Park right now with the grandkids.
Popcorn $6.13. Of course you have to pay $25 to park plus the admission ticket to be able to pay $6.13 for popcorn

Is the number 613 of some significance?

I’m guessing they charge that price so when the PA sales tax is added it comes out to $6.50.

Now it makes sense, but still expensive.

Especially when you add up all tickets, parking and arcade games that the kids “have to play” BUT, I would rather spend it here than on doctors
