LOS ANGELES - Robert Goulet, the handsome, big-voiced baritone whose Broadway debut in "Camelot" launched an award-winning stage and recording career, has died. He was 73.

The singer died Tuesday morning in a Los Angeles hospital while awaiting a lung transplant, said Goulet spokesman Norm Johnson.

He had been awaiting a lung transplant at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after being found last month to have a rare form of pulmonary fibrosis.

Goulet had remained in good spirits even as he waited for the transplant, said Vera Goulet, his wife of 25 years.

"Just watch my vocal cords," she said he told doctors before they inserted a breathing tube.

The Massachusetts-born Goulet, who spent much of his youth in Canada, gained stardom in 1960 with "Camelot," the Lerner and Loewe musical that starred Richard Burton as King Arthur and Julie Andrews as his Queen Guenevere.

Goulet played Sir Lancelot, the arrogant French knight who falls in love with Guenevere.

He became a hit with American TV viewers with appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and other programs. Sullivan labeled him the "American baritone from Canada," where he had already been a popular star in the 1950s, hosting his own show called "General Electric's Showtime."

He was a great singer and performer.

Old-school class all the way.

Rest in Peace.

Yep. He'll be forever missed.

He went so fast. Maybe this will encourage more people to donate their organs.

I will miss him rearranging my desk while I'm sleeping. R.I.P.

Cool dude. Well, actually, he was not cool. Which makes him cool.


I always imagine Elvis shooting a TV when his name comes up. R.I.P.

Rest in Peace Mr. Goulet...

Every time I think of Robert Goulet, his classic line from that infamous Stuttering John interview pops in my mind - "I never get sore testicles!". Howard plays that sh!t from time to tme.

RIP Mr. Goulet

I'm sad.

Good lookin' fella

Did he ever make appearances on The Love Boat or The Muppet Show? I remember seeing on something in the 70's or 80's. I associated the Hollywood types of his age bracket to appearances on those shows. I loved his last name. RIP

I've been a long time fan of his work on the silver screen and Broadway. I'm sad to hear about him succumbing to Cancer. He will be missed.

Tnx for mentioning him. I here he was good to his wife and family.

He was a rare combo.

Devastatingly handsome.

Great singer.

Good actor.

A family man.

I say it again...Rest In Peace, Mr. Goulet...

R.I.P.

Great performer.

Elegant and classy! A perfect example of those words...always! A true star! RIP
