I like to think of Paul Crockett as our Fifth Beatle because his contributions were heard but he didn't get name recognition. Similar to George Martin being a huge part of making the musical sound of the Beatles, Paul was an often heard voice. He was hired to write ad copy and spent most of his time in the Perry Davis Hotel but occasionally he'd find himself at the studio and when I needed another voice he'd jump in as a straight man, or as a character voice or impression. His dramatic abilities rise from his participation in the local Civic Theatre Group, so I started writing commercials with him in mind. Eventually Paul started writing commercial parodies for other clients. Here's a sampling of some of his work. Some of the impressions may be puzzling since they were contemporary personalities and you may have to pull up a Youtube clip to hear the parodied artist. You'll also hear Paul briefly at 1:50 of Dee Lawton's last day show, as he jumps in during my interview with her.
