Once upon a time, People Magazine called Bob Anderson the very best singing Impressionist in the world. You know what? He still is! Out of all the current Tribute Artists on Broadway or on tour, VH1 named him #1. The Hall of Fame singer will be back in Las Vegas for 2 nights performing his […]
This was supposed to be my column covering Bob Anderson’s debut performance of “One More for the Road,” at New York’s world-famous Carnegie Hall, where Frank Sinatra would once again walk out on Its famous stage to entertain the more than 2000 paying fans. Unfortunately, I was unable to make the trip, but luckily among […]

I have a friend! I’ve known him ever since he first stepped out on the stage of the Sahara Hotel (the original) as the opening act for a young lady by the name of Nancy Sinatra in 1973. Some say you can’t create magic, but Bob Anderson has proved otherwise. His ‘tribute’ to Frank Sinatra […]

As the new year rolled in, I lost a dear friend on Wednesday, January 2nd, after he resigned himself to give up the fight against the illness that had grabbed hold of his body nearly a year ago. We first met at Robert Goulet’s house around 20 years ago. Mike Merrick was my idea of […]
Bob Anderson, who returns to Las Vegas on March 23-24 to the South Point Hotel/Spa, and its wonderful Showroom, is a living link to one of the greatest periods of music ever given to the world and could well be called America’s Ambassador of Music. It all began in 1973, when Anderson snuck into […]
I had a friend. We didn’t always agree on things. We argued and threatened each other with words that sometimes stung. But we were friends. That person is and was Tony Sacca. I first met the man while I was doing publicity and booking a few acts here and there in the ’80s. I was […]
