...faster than I can," gurgled goggle-eyed Eddie Cantor, impressed not only by Harmon's velvety-smooth radio voice but his unshakable poise. The $900 he received for singing and clowning with Cantor promptly classed Harmon as a professional, barred him from continuing to play basketball and baseball at Michigan this spring.
