Why he might be annoying:

    He was the 7-Up TV commercial 'uncola nut' spokesman in the '70s.

    He was an accomplished dancer, wardrobe designer and choreographer.
    He won 2 Tony Awards for his work on the musical 'The Wiz.' One for Best Director of a Musical and the other for Best Costume Designer (1975).
    His rich baritone voice was mesmerizing as he sang two songs from 'The Little Mermaid' at the 62nd Academy Awards show; 'Under the Sea' & 'Kiss the Girl' (1990).
    He had a keen sense of humor and accepted people doing imitations of his laugh and deep voice good-naturedly.
