I just saw a YouTube video about him. I knew that although he was known for his pop music, he also had a classical music background. However, I didn't realize how accomplished he was with classical piano. In 1966, he was on the show "I've got a secret" On the show he announced that he was going to Russia to compete in the International Tchaikovsky Competition. He then played a little Chopin for the audience. He was quite good!
