That's Show Business

In your article on Michael Feinstein who has won over audiences by singing old show tunes ((SHOW BUSINESS, May 4)), you describe me in a way that does not make me happy. Son of a gun. Here I am, preparing a return to show business after 20 years of voluntary retirement, only to find myself identified by your writer as a singer appreciated by "someone with strong minority opinions." To be truthful, I never considered myself a cult figure. But I did think that after selling millions of recordings, making hundreds of nightclub and concert appearances and performing on scores of television shows, I had more public appeal than your reviewer indicates. Perhaps if he would listen to a few of my albums, a providential "wayward wind" will blow him into drawing fewer minority conclusions.
