Frank Fontaine, known as Crazy Guggenheim from The Jackie Gleason Show in the 1960s, was one of those comedians that died or nearly died onstage.
Conductor Tim Fowler and musician Jack Salley toured with Fontaine when they were musically fronting the Roy Radin Revue during the 1970s, here they reminisce about Fontaine at the end of his life and his death in 1978 just moments after stepping offstage. He was 58. You can read all about the Roy Radin Revues in the book ‘Beyond Our Wildest Dreams’ by the Alberici Sisters from Dean Martin’s Golddiggers!
Tales On the Road with the Infamous Roy Radin Revue.
