Quotes:


"It wasn't until the first dress rehearsal that I discovered that he had a great pair of legs!
Even better I got to enjoy them every single performance for 18 months. I sat on stage, misty eyed, while he sang "If Ever I Would Leave You" and, to this day, I never told anyone which turned me on more, the voice or the legs!"
-JULIE ANDREWS (1985)-

"Goulet - the first time I’ve seen him on stage without braking into song - does admirably as the embattled George, handling his drunk session with impassioned lunacy.."
-Clive Barnes - New York Post - "Moon Over Buffalo" Broadway 1996-

"ROBERT GOULET’s vocal talents illuminate every medium of the entertainment world. A Grammy, Tony and an Emmy winner, he is a legendary artist of striking power. His illustrious career has spun for over half a century and he is considered one of the greatest baritones of our times. Equally adept at picking up nuances of a Broadway musical, caressing the lyric of a romantic ballad or amplifying the excitement of a swinging melody, whether in person or one of his 70 best-selling albums, he has enriched the lives of music lovers worldwide."

I only have one thing to say...

"poppaaaa. i love it when you call me big popppaaaaaaaa. throw your hands in the air, if you think you're a playa! poppaaaa!"

I know that's not a direct quote from robert goulet, but it's a direct quote from will ferrell as robert goulet, which i think says it all. if will ferrell thinks it's worth it to impersonate you on national television, you must have made quite an impression. well played, mr. goulet.
