Loved that voice. Didn't he also play Asp in the movie version of "Annie"?
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Re: RIP Geoffrey Holder
Holder played Punjab in Annie. One of his best performances came at the 1990 Oscars when he sang "Kiss the Girl" and "Under the Sea" from Little Mermaid. Unfortunately, Disney has been successful at pulling the video off YouTube and most embedded video sites and I haven't been able to find a link to it. Here's pictures of him as Punjab and Baron Samedi.gsabc wrote:Loved that voice. Didn't he also play Asp in the movie version of "Annie"?
