Scatman is one of my all-time favorites, and I'm so glad you did a tribute to him.

I also loved ..."Ya like ice cream, Doc?"<br /><br />I also loved him as the voice of Hong Kong Phooey, and can't forget his part in the "Kick the Can" segment of The Twilight Zone: The Movie.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-72115747579049143902010-02-08T12:15:48.165-05:002010-02-08T12:15:48.165-05:00Scatman was also the voice of Hong Kong Phooey, ti...Scatman was also the voice of Hong Kong Phooey, title character of a fondly-rememberd 1970s Saturday morning cartoon show. He imbued the character with a lot of humor that really helped put the show over (along with co-star Joe E. Ross) - especially in light of the show's limited animation. As a result, Hong Kong Phooey is something of an icon among 1970s kids like me.Paul Castigliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311677339576296386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-66526093670891857932010-02-08T11:37:09.661-05:002010-02-08T11:37:09.661-05:00I too loved the Scatman.
