WOW I remember his song If I Were a Rich Man. What a beautiful Baritone.
Rest in Peace sir.

 

I basically knew him from his work on Fiddler on the Roof (a movie I really liked!). And I came across this information: "the lead role in the stage musical Fiddler on the Roof and the 1971 film adaptation, performing this role more than 3,500 times from 1967 through 2009"

Respect!
