I don't know how many people remember him... He was one of the better impressionists form the 70's. I believe he was also in The Buddy Holly Story as the crazy DJ that locked himself the control booth.

He's also done a lot of animation work and has appeared on all the talk shows at one time or another. He also headlined his own show in Vegas until 2001 when he became ill. In the atricle I read it said that he was even doing impressions in his hospital bed when people came to visit him.

It seems as though there's been a lot of famous deaths this year besides the most recent... Pat Hingle, Patrick McGoohan, Ricardo Montalban, James Whitmore, Ron Silver, Natasha Richardson, Marilyn Chambers, Bea Arthur, Dom DeLuise, David Carradine, Ed McMahon. There were others as well, but these were the names that didn't make me say, "Who?..."

It makes me wonder who's next, because after all we're only half way through the year...

Yeah, it seems so strange to hear the names of so many famous people that have died this year...of course given that roughly 146,000 people die each day world wide you are bound to have years like this once in a while. :shock:

MSN did this slideshow after Fawcett and Jackson passed and it is already outdated by a decent bit.

Wow--I haven't heard that name in a long time.

He was pretty good at impressions as well.

Condolences to his family & friends on their loss.

It seems that lately we've been losing a lot of notables from my youth.
