There's a similarity to Nat King Cole in Ray's voice. Nat covered a song written by Ray called That's My Girl.

I've been on one only once. When I was tall enough and old enough. Found it a bit overrated and less fun so never did it again.

This roller coaster is lots of fun though needless to say.

That's it! I kept thinking Ellingston's voice was similar to a famous voice but couldn't figure it out who. Definitely similar to Nat King Cole's voice. I think I've heard of "That's My Girl" recording by King Cole before.

Peter Cook was a bit of a narcissist according to the Thomson book. The competition between him and Dudley regarding sexual conquests was particularly heated. They came together toward the end though.

Peter Sellers' fame was out of this world. Harry Secombe was famous as far as his sacred music releases and Spike was driven to write and do many TV shows. They were in their own trajectories.

Thank you, Brian. I'll check that out. I was a huge Spike fan. I actually had a dream two days before Spike died that foretold the headline, Last Goon of All. It freaked me out when it came true days later. I've read and re-read Puckoon and Spike's poetry over and over again.
