Obituaries.

I thought I'd include a somewhat brief (for the NYT) obituary of singer Robert Goulet, who died yesterday.

In addition to third wife Vera and his three children, he had two grandkids.

For those curious about my previous posts about the late singer, here you will find them, including the post with the famous passage from Elvis: What Happened?

I thought it was worth repeating.

This writer didn't overlook the Elvis story:

He earned a footnote in the saga of Elvis Presley: Mr. Goulet was performing on television when Presley famously blasted his TV screen with a handgun.


A possible explanation for Elvis's negative opinion of Goulet is here.

Supposedly this is the gun in question.

Apparently Goulet himself was puzzled over the incident:

To some music fans he was best known for a performance in which he did not participate: Elvis Presley once put a bullet through a TV broadcast of a Goulet performance.

Goulet always professed bewilderment over the incident, saying he and Presley got on so well that Presley gave him a ring.


Go figure.
