Got to see him once, in Vegas. He's a terrific showman.
Player Say what!?
DaniM, Odd that the writer didn't mention that fact. He wrote the classic. "You deserve a break today" for McDonald's and "let Hertz put you in the driver's seat." I also remember no one would own up to liking his music, saying that "nobody does"

He actually wrote Mandy as Brandy but then Looking Glass released Brandy and he realized he had to change the name. 😆
