The Copa Cabana was legendary to many people, especially those of us in show business. Even when I left the business due to illness at the age of 35, one of my greatest sadnesses was that I never had the chance to play the Copa. I have little doubt the name Copa Cabana will find its permanent mark in show business and music history.
