We wrote for the same paper at the same time, we spoke a few times, and I may have even interviewed her a time or two. She was great. Very down to earth and funny.

Thank you dear MB for all the links.

Teresa Brewer got better as she got older. I'd forgotten all the hits she had.

I couldn't take my eyes off the Deborah Kerr tribute. Wasn't she lovely!

I love the age we live in where we can have such a resource as Youtube. More and more I go there to lift my spirits. Love giggling babies, cute kittens and goofy puppies.

Did no one report Porter Wagoner?

Country superstar Porter Wagoner dies at 80

Wagoner

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Porter Wagoner was known for a string of country hits in the '60s, perennial appearances at the Grand Ole Opry in his trademark rhinestone suits, and for launching the career of Dolly Parton.

Like many older performers, his star had faded in recent years. But his death from lung cancer Sunday, at 80, came only after a remarkable late-career revival that won him a new generation of fans.

The Missouri-born Wagoner signed with RCA Records in 1955 and joined the Opry in 1957, "the greatest place in the world to have a career in country music," he said in 1997. His showmanship, suits and pompadoured hair made him famous.

LOS ANGELES - Robert Goulet, the handsome, big-voiced baritone whose Broadway debut in "Camelot" launched an award-winning stage and recording career, has died. He was 73.
ADVERTISEMENT

The singer died Tuesday morning in a Los Angeles hospital while awaiting a lung transplant, said Goulet spokesman Norm Johnson.

He had been awaiting a lung transplant at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after being found last month to have a rare form of pulmonary fibrosis.

Goulet had remained in good spirits even as he waited for the transplant, said Vera Goulet, his wife of 25 years.

"Just watch my vocal cords," she said he told doctors before they inserted a breathing tube.

The Massachusetts-born Goulet, who spent much of his youth in Canada, gained stardom in 1960 with "Camelot," the Lerner and Loewe musical that starred Richard Burton as King Arthur and Julie Andrews as his Queen Guenevere.

Goulet played Sir Lancelot, the arrogant French knight who falls in love with Guenevere.

He became a hit with American TV viewers with appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and other programs. Sullivan labeled him the "American baritone from Canada," where he had already been a popular star in the 1950s, hosting his own show called "General Electric's Showtime."

Wow, just last night they reported that he (Robert Goulet) was needing a lung transplant, but it didn't sound too likely.

I started to report on Porter Waggoner and got sidetracked...

I heard that Dolly Parton visited Porter just the other day to say her goodbyes. She got her start on his TV show.

Sad about Goulet. He was hot stuff in his day.
