As I've said in so many YT videos, that I am honored to have sung with him in Florida (1978) in Rigoletto ( I - Sparafucile). I would like to recollect an incident in the hotel-elevator: We were together, going to our rooms after a rehearsal, naturally all the people in the elev. recognized him. He turned to me and said: "You have a helluva voice my boy!" The people in the elev looked at me, with "who is this boy?" look, and it made me feel very good.

Yes, that sounds just like Bob Merrill. Loved reading your little story. In my case he called me "lad" until we got close and then he called me Steve. He told me the story of Lawrence Tibbet saying those very words to him, after he (Merrill) sang the Prologue to Pagliacci on at a Sunday night Gala in the mid 1940's shortly after his Met debut in 1945.

Indeed it is a unique recording, with Bernstein conducting. What greater voice could ever be found to be the Baritone Cantor? None! Thanks for your comments.

Yes indeed! He was an exceptional human being.. remaining modest, while knowing his own greatness. He was actually humbled by his own divine vocal gifts, and told me so in different ways. Example: "What's a kid from Brooklyn doing on stage at the Met.. or singing with Toscannini? The Lord above fashioned his voice to be supreme!!
