Robert was known as “Voice Coach to the Stars,” and his clients included over three dozen Grammy winners, several Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, as well as Oscar, Emmy, and Tony award-winning actors, but he was amazingly down to earth and caring and so supportive to me. Robert attended both my college and grad school voice recitals! He came to the studio with me as I recorded the vocals for my album Been a Long Time.
Robert was truly a gift to this world. His positive, instructive spirit was constant. His singing lessons always included some lessons on living. I learned much from this dear, gentle man. He taught me as much about how to live life as he taught me how to sing.
Robert, my mom, and Mrs. Warren all championed me, believed in me, and had faith in me. They are my role models, and what a gift they all were!
