Vic DAMONE likely had the best voice of any other male pop singer. I wonder how he would do on American Idol --- probably wouldn't make the cut. Sad to think that there is hardly a market today for so beautiful and rich voice.
Don and Barbie gave us a good mix of pop and classic culture, and you can count on Don to give a Shakespearean reference --- must've been an English teacher.
