You were one of the most talented and generous performers ever, and it was a genuine pleasure meeting you at Barnes & Noble in June '17, where you signed my copy of your biography and told your fabulous stories of Ann-Margret, Frank Sinatra and Annette Funicello. I'll always cherish that memory.
God bless you, Mr. Rydell. Your loss is a hurtful one, but your prolific legacy will extend beyond time, warming the hearts of not only prevailing fans but those yet to come. 💓
