[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? —The preceding unsigned comment was 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.

[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? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.205.1.116 (talk • contribs) 15:37, April 1 2007 (UTC).
