A Singing Hero Leaves This World

With the number of comments I've heard, it's very obvious that Robert Goulet has made quite an impact on many people. I can recall how I first heard his rendition of A Time For Us, the love theme for Romeo and Juliet. It gave me goosebumps.

Well, now we must look to the present. A sad world who despearately needs to hear a joyful song has many artists, but none that covers the span of Robert Goulet's legacy.

Here's a few interesting facts about Mr. Goulet wonderful life:

He was born on November 26, 1933.

Ironic enough my father is named Robert A Goulet and was born on November 28. Both were born under the Zodiac sign of Sagittarius, which are straight-shooting perfectionists - just plain workaholics!

My dad and Mr. Goulet were both six feet tall... I only attained 5 foot ten. Oh, well!
All of us are of French Canadian decent and most likely, as many Canadians, hail form the "Old France".

Goulet and his first wife Louise Longmore had one daughter, Nicolette.

He had two sons, Christopher and Michael, with his second wife, actress and singer Carol Lawrence.

In 1982 he married Vera Novak in Las Vegas, Nevada. When not at their home in Las Vegas, Robert and Vera Goulet resided on their yacht in Los Angeles.

In March 2006, it was announced that Goulet would receive a star on Canada's Walk of Fame. Although he was not born in Canada, he was born of Canadian parents, and he moved back at three months old. Robert also spent his formative years in Canada. At the time of his death, Goulet was seeking Canadian citizenship, with the help of fellow Albertan bandleader and senator Tommy Banks
