… Half a century of Mel Blanc …
[Description by Uncle Ricky, contributed by KM Richards]
Mel Blanc and his son Noel Blanc were showcased on Listen Closely, an ABC-FM Public Affairs program broadcast on KMYX/Ojai, CA. on May 26, 1987. The feature commemorates the fifty years that Mel Blanc created unforgettable voices for some of America’s most memorable and original cartoons.
Mel and Noel talk about growing up and working together, Mel’s near-fatal automobile accident, the doctor who got him talking again, school days and Nancy Sinatra.
Mel Blanc passed away about two years later, on July 10, 1989.
