Originally Posted By Disneymom443 That figures I'm not cool enough for a CD like that. I didn't even know there was one out there.

He does spot on impersonations of classic actors doing more or less modern songs. Humphrey Bogart doing Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head, Charile Chan doing Let It Be, etc. Really fun, and a great example of Paul's wide range.

It's a must have, though, for a true fan!
