Man, it’s been a rough few months for K-Tel. First Phil Kives in April, and now Bob Washington, A.K.A. the voice on all those commercials, has passed away at 82 after a battle with cancer.
Beyond K-Tel and that he worked in radio for years, I unfortunately don’t know a whole lot about his career. So instead of trying to write a bunch of stuff that may or may not be accurate, I’ll give you this interview he did with Larry Fedoruk after the death of Phil Kives where he talks not only about what it was like to work with Phil, but about some of the other things he’s done.
