seemed to have something important to do”

Vanacore was honored as the hometown boy done good, but
the

of his conductor Victor Vanacore”
The Hollywood Reporter
“Victor Vanacore? He’s my man!”
Ray Charles
“I like to sing different songs now an then. With Victor
he makes it possible. He plays the piano, can write music on the spot, can
rehearse all within 5 minutes and I can sing it that night. We have traveled
the world together. I knew when we stopped traveling and he started his own
project it would be a short time before he would be on the stage by himself.
How proud I was to be in the audience at the Hollywood Bowl and watch Victor
perform by himself.”
Johnny Mathis
