Planting his mitey (5 ft. 4 in., 135 lbs.) frame firmly on the boards, he neither rocks nor rolls, and his pelvis is so steady that it could house a seismograph. "I go out there to comfort the people," he says. His ministrations are weakest when he is doing old standards like Stardust or his gasping version of Hello Voting Lovers. But his fans are really there to hear Anka sing Anka, and he always scores with Diana, You Are My, Destiny...
