My Take
What gets me about Robert Goulet is that he basically arrived fully formed. He stepped onto Broadway as Lancelot in Camelot opposite Richard Burton and Julie Andrews, sang "If Ever I Would Leave You," and that was that. The Grammy for Best New Artist in 1963 and the Tony in 1968 confirm what audiences already knew. I find it telling that he trained at the University of Toronto and carried himself with that polished, almost old-school baritone confidence. He's the kind of mid-century entertainer whose star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame feels earned rather than handed out, and his signature song still defines him to me.
