Bob Harter, my father, sang with the Toppers, on the Arthur Godfrey television show, in the 1950s, & in many commercials/jingles such as the Chunky commercials in the 1960s, as well as working with Pete Seeger & even Buddy Holly, at a NYC recording session in 1959 at the Bell Studios. He died, age 48, in 1970. Although I have found references to Bob Harter and his Ranch Boys (or "Men"), I have not located any of these recordings.His recordings include a solo lp, The Bob Harter Songbag, Big Mack the Firetruck (for children), and a vocal selection on a Liberty Hootenanny album. He was a member of the Belafonte Folksingers, who performed with Harry Belafonte and on their own, producing some of their own albums. He described his voice as Basso Profundo. In addition to recording, Bob Harter appeared in the movie, The Daydreamer, a Bass/Rankin production, as the live action Woodsman, and in some voiceover musical numbers. He was the voice for Gulliver in the 1960s Japanese, animated movie, Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon. When my father played the role of the Mikado in NYC, in the mid-1940s, he reunited with my mother and they married. His wife, my mother, Theodate Carus Harter Hold, was also a vocalist and a composer. With my stepfather, Bob Hold, Theodate cowrote and produced "The Marriage Broker of Nirvana," at their coffeehouse on West 74th Street in Manhattan, New York City, a one-act musical, which was performed in the 1960s, and again in 2005-2006, in NYC, with actor, director, and singer, Miriam Fond. As Theo Carus, my mother developed a music literacy education program for children, using American Folk songs as repertoire and more!
