Remembering Robert Goulet

Robert Goulet died last night (Oct. 30) while awaiting a lung transplant. He was 73. Too many Robert Goulet was known as a big-voiced baritone entertainer. His deep singing voice entranced listeners from all around. With his voice being the reason for his stardom, he made sure to tell doctors to watch out for his vocal cords when they were inserting a breathing tube.

For adults he was a Broadway star along with being a Grammy and Tony Award-winner. Goulet gained stardom for his role in “Camelot”, the Arthurian play in which he starred as Sir Lancelot. But for a young person, like me, he was more famous for his guest appearances in Boy Meets World or The King of Queens. Though never visually seen, Goulet contributed his deep toned vocals to the singing voice of Mikey Blumberg on the Disney cartoon Recess.

I may not have been a huge fan of Mr. Goulet, but I did have many enjoyable moments of singing along with his style of Green Tambourine. And now it would seem that the music is more treasuring as fans everywhere are remembering Robert Goulet.
