Robert Goulet

Robert Gerard Goulet (November 26, 1933 – October 30, 2007) was an American singer and actor of French-Canadian ancestry. Goulet was born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Cast as Sir Lancelot and originating the role in the 1960 Broadway musical Camelot starring opposite established Broadway stars Richard Burton and Julie Andrews, he achieved instant recognition with his performance and interpretation of the song “If Ever I Would Leave You” which became his signature song. His debut in Camelot marked the beginning of an award-winning stage, screen and recording career .

His vocal performances have involved every medium of the entertainment world. A Grammy, Tony and an Emmy award winner, his career spanned almost six decades. It is for these achievements that Robert Goulet is considered to be one of the greatest baritones of all time and one of the most prominent musical stars of the second half of the 20th century.

Early life

Goulet was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on Greenvile St. in the Tower Hill section, the only son of Jeanette (née Gauthier) and Joseph Georges André Goulet, a laborer. His parents were both of French Canadian ancestry. He was a descendant of French-Canadian pioneers Zacharie Cloutier and Jacques Goulet. Shortly after his father's death, 13-year-old Robert moved with his mother and sister Claire to Girouxville, Alberta, and he spent his formative years in Canada.

Something To Believe In

by: Robert Goulet

Pd...
My love, forgive me,
I didn't mean to have it end like this,
I didn't mean to have you fall in love, in love with
me.
My love, please kiss me,
Arrivederci amore, kiss me,
Remember when we part, you'll have my heart,
I love you so.
It was just a slight flirtation,
That was all it was to be,
How could I know this fascination
Would turn to love for you and me.
How to tell you of my heartache?
How to tell you I'm not free?
How can I bear to see your heart break,
To see your heart break over me.
Amore scusami se sto piangendo
Amore scusami, ma ho capito che lasciandoti io
soffriro,
Amore baciami, arrivederci amore baciami,
E se mi penserai ricordati che amo te.
Ti ricordi quella sera che per gioco ti bacia?
Sembrava solo un'avventura, un'avventura in riva al
mar.
Ti baciavo nel silenzio, non volevo confessar,
Che stavo forse a poco a poco innamorandomi di te.
My love, forgive me ,
I didn't mean to have it end like this,
I didn't mean to have you fall in love, in love with
me,
My love, please kiss me,
Arrivederci amore, kiss me,
Though we're apart, you'll still be in my heart,
I love so, I love so, I love so ...Pd.
