The Ray Belmonte Duo

 I found a sealed copy of this LP at the Goodwill.

A quick internet search reveals this:

The Ray Belmonte duo was a classic lounge comedy from the mid-60's with great one liners, song standards, and general buffoonery.

They were an early sixties Canadian lounge act.  With bad jokes and  musical parodies (Hello Dolly, Shanty In Shanty Town, etc.) the Duo were seen as up-and-comers.

A link to the MP3 can be found here.

Sadly there is more to the story...
I'm sure that this sealed copy actually belonged to Ray Belmonte who passed away late last year. I also bought a book on old bicycles at the same Goodwill in Etobicoke and inside found a change of address card addressed to... Mr. Ray Belmonte. His remaining possessions were obviously donated. In any case have a listen to his act, although dated there are some choice moments...

The address card and the
obituary below.
