ghost of miles Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'll try to tune in for this, Steve. Please send Bill a very grateful happy birthday wish from me--I frequently turn to his VeeJay recordings and his album with Oscar Peterson for on-air play. Much appreciation from this Indiana jazz fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyJazz Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 His version of "My Funny Valentine" from that Vee-Jay set is my all time favorite vocal of that well done standard. Wish him a happy birthday for me and tell him also how much a kick I get whenever I recognize him in the various small film roles he gets.

BFrank Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 RIP, Bill. Sad that his passing will no doubt go largely unnoticed with the near-simultaneous high profile obituaries of Gato and Merle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 The sound of his voice was the kind that you never forget - R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 He was also an decent actor, seemed to be a nice man and was easy to work with. His brother Finis was another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
