I recorded Don sooo many times. He was a friend of mine and I was a friend of his. Anita told me so.

When ever I speak in public I am always reminded of Don who said "I am going to make myself weep now."

All while in perfect control of his voice.

I became an internationally famous civil rights leader. (how did that happen?)

When ever I speak I try to include a line that will make me weep... just like Don would want me to do.

I love you Don.

John Brady...your eternal friend.

Not only he had a very unique and great voice, his name is musical.

It sounds french but I'm not sure.

@DrDK144 good question...my best bet is that either A: He did the voice overs before he died, and movie production takes years to complete, or B: They've simply taken samples of his voice overs that he's done, obviously prior to his death, and splice them together to make something for a new release....and actually C: That who I think is Don LaFontaine is actually a sound alike, which seems improbable given the uniqueness of his voice.

@dannon2010 how can he still be voicing new trailers if he's DEAD?
