  • Doc was 1/3 of one of the greatest late night shows of our time (my opinion). I may only be 24 and all but i remember him also as a substitute announcer when johnny carson was off. for Jay Leno and Joan Rivers

  • I could not agree with you more! And Doc was a lot of fun to interview.. It was a privelage. John

  • yeah, successful musicians who avoid drugs and aren't overly neurotic do tend to stay young ...

  • my last names sparling

    wonder if im related to him

  • I can't believe Doc looks so young. He was born in 1927. Wow!

  • They don't get any better, classier, or cooler than Doc!

  • Doc is and continues to be a humble giant and wow...has there ever been such a player on trumpet.

  • In 1979, I was a guest on the Tonight Show. Doc was very humble and shy when I met him back stage before the show. When I was showing him how I was going to shape his hands during the Show, he was shaking. I asked him, "Doc, what could you be nervous about.....you are one of the greatest trumpet players in the World". Doc's reply to me was, "That is the only thing that I am good at!" I was twenty six years old, and this great man, my idol, told me that! The video is up.

  • john you look good in a suit -g
