Robert Goulet Playing To A Packed Dinner Club In Heaven

We must now relay sad news, as crooner and showbiz veteran Robert Goulet has passed away today at the age of 73 while awaiting a lung transplant at Cedars Sinai. We know we recently highlighted his short-lived sitcom achievements, but for a more fitting tribute, we guide you to this medley of the buttery baritone's considerable vocal talents, as well as to his more recent self-parodying work in the memorable Super Bowl spot above. Sadly, it will no longer take just the "natural energy of Emerald nuts" to keep a mischief-making office-gremlin Goulet away.

You wouldn't ask a clown to fix a leak in the john. So why would you let these ruffians tear down the biz? Ya.

He's sailing forever on the Red Ships of Spain.

He did some cameos as himself on Two Guys and a Girl, definitely some of the funniest episodes on that show (which, OK, not saying much, but, still, he was classy and willing to spoof his image). RIP, Mr. Goulet.

@BabylonSister: And what of his Mr. Belvedere work? 4 episodes and he could never tame that rascally scamp Wesley.

I remember him mainly for two incredible performances:

1. Naked Gun 2 1/2

2. Playing himself on The Simpsons in the "$pringfield" episode... "Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg..."

Saw him on stage in "Annie Get Your Gun" opposite Florence Henderson. Dayton Ohio, touring company, the 1970's. Very fun and memorable. RIP Mr. Goulet.

I'm at a loss for words. Another of my childhood icons gone.

Nothing says it better than that line from "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love" in the musical 'A Chorus Line:"
Robert Goulet! Robert Goulet! My God--Robert Goulet!
RIP
