    He sung mostly old Russian Folk tunes.
    He was a closeted homosexual and it was only revealed posthumously.
    He was born in Germany but sang mostly Russian songs and lived in Greece.
    At a bearded, stocky 6'5 he was an intimidating figure.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had a joyous disposition and was very personable, which was obvious during his shows.
    He was a homosexual, Russian Jew born in Nazi Germany.
    With his impressive bass voice he sung folk, opera, spirituals and even 'Fiddler on the Roof.'
