Saw him Time tunnel and that started a lifelong crush! I saw him at the American Music Theater in Lancaster, PA several years ago! Such a thrill to see him in person!😊

Fell in love with Moon-Doggy! Alongside Gidget and a whole lotta other preteens! Did my best not to miss anything he’d done for decades after that!!!❤

This jerky narration is atrocious. The way she pronounced the name of that song he recorded in Italian was unbelievable....it took me a full minute to realise she was saying "Adio mondo crudelle"...or "Good-bye cruel world"....in English. Honestly, if UR going to narrate something, learn how to pronounce things correctly!😮

Omg CBN ABSOLUTELY ITS EMBARRASSING and insulting. BAD PICTURE EDITING.
