Today he was on BBC1 - The Sound of Musicals, singing OLD MAN RIVER.

Willard White has a beautiful bass baritone voice.
I have seen him before on tv when he sang at an FA Cup classics event a few years back(Russell was on it too).

I found a bit of info on Willard but would be interested to know more if anyone can help.

rainy, I also think Willard has a wonderful voice. I saw him at the proms a couple of years ago and thought he was really first class . We don't see or hear enough of him. See what else I can find.
