Retiring @89yrs Seems About 20-30yrs Late. Don't Know Any Profession/Person That Works That Late In Life Except Government Officials.
^ Ppl like to keep busy as they getting older and some ppl need the money to keep up with their lifestyle. A lot of ppl even today don't have a financial plan for retirement.
I haven't heard his name in a long time. I didn't know he was still alive. All the other singer from his era have long passed away. Bless his heart.
When the hell did he morph into Ron Jeremy? Don't act like you don't know who that is. I was putting my kid on to Johnny Mathis last winter, man is a legend.
