@boderah2959 Glad you're enjoying him; I have about 10 tracks uploaded by him, on You Tube.

Thank you for commenting; it is appreciated.

Did you know, he had a small part as a dancer, in the movie White Christmas?

[wally1435]

Didn't know that, thanks for pointing it out.

Love trivia like that. I was watching "Lil Abner" not long ago and noticed that Valerie Harper ("Rhoda") and Beth Howland (Vera from "Alice") were both in some prominent dance numbers.

@WWAHP he was also one of the dancers in the Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend with Marilyn in Gentlemen prefer Blondes

I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head who was the combination singer, dancer, and actor that he was. How he didn't become a huge star after West Side Story kind of puzzles me.
