I must disagree with the critique of Mitchum. Listening to AM radio over a tiny speaker in the dash of Dad’s truck, Mitchum was a godsend. Lyrics I could actually understand allowing me to know the complete song (read sing along) before Google. Plus a toe tapping beat and vocal range I could fake.

ReplyDeleteWhen my Uncle Pat was young he looked very like Robert Mitchum. Of course he and Aunt Honey are long dead now. My mother still thinks of Pat as /that beautiful man/. He was a Seebee (CB-- Naval Construction Battalion) in the Pacific in WWII and a carpenter all the rest of his life.
DeleteDid he just look like him or did he sing like him as well?
