[edit] Odd thing

When I was 12 years old (in the 1970's) I was asked to sing at the funeral of my Great Uncle, Ray Evans. I was told he was a songwriter and given a list of his songs to look at. They had brought his body all the way from Los Angeles for the burial in Utah. Now, as I look online, I see that supposedly he is still alive. I'm curious, was the whole funeral a lie or is the person living NOT the real Ray Evans? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.222.247 (talk • contribs) 15:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Odd Thing

I had the pleasure and privilege of working with Ray Evans and Jay Livingston in the 80's. The Ray Evans who penned such standards as Mona Lisa and Silver Bells was a remarkable man and will be sorely missed. He passed away February 15, 2007.

Kindest regards,

[edit] Peter gunn theme

I just cant get enough of the Peter Gunn Theme written by Henry Mancini. I have learned Jay Livingston and Ray Evans also made lyrics for this song. So I went for a search. I found the lyrics themselves but not a version of the song where they sing the lyrics. Perhaps someone can tell me who the performer was. I found some information Sarah Vaughn was the singer, is this correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.205.1.116 (talk • contribs) 15:37, April 1 2007 (UTC)

Yes—an album called Verve//Remixed³ has it. — Athænara ✉ 16:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

One version of the lyrics. — Æ. ✉ 16:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
