BRILLIANT BOB

The Friday File: On Thursday, my favorite comedian Bob Newhart died. His 1961 record “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart (which I remember vividly) quickly led to “The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back. At one point they were #1 and #2 in the Billboard album chart! In 1961 he won a Grammy for Album of the Year, beating Cole, Belafonte, and Sinatra. He was originally an accountant. Thanks Bob!
