Life and career[edit]

Elliott was born in Winchester, Massachusetts,[2] the son of Gail Marguarite (néeBrackett),[3] a needleworker, and Fred Russell Elliott, who worked in insurance.[4] On radio, he appeared in programs with his long-time partner Ray Goulding. These were in different series and time slots over decades, beginning in the late 1940s at Boston's WHDH radio when the two were first paired for Matinee with Bob and Ray.[5] The team’s ersatz advertisements included exhortations on behalf of the Monongahela Metal Foundry (“Steel ingots cast with the housewife in mind”), Einbinder Flypaper (“The flypaper you’ve gradually grown to trust over the course of three generations”) and Height Watchers International.[1]

"The funniest people in this country, these guys are also two of the keenest observers of the American scene and the finest interviewers in the business."[6]

Elliot appeared on radio with Garrison Keillor in The American Radio Company of the Air.[1]On television, Elliott and Goulding hostedBob and Ray show from 1951 to 1953. He appeared on a number of other television programs, including Happy Days; Newhart; andBob & Ray, Jane, Laraine & Gilda in 1979 (with Goulding, Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman andGilda Radner); The David Steinberg Show; andSaturday Night Live.[6] In 1982, Elliot was inAuthor! Author! as Patrick Dicker.[7][8][9][10][11][12]He would star in made-for-TV-Movie's such asBetween Time and Timbuktu and FDR: A One Man Show. Elliot made television commercials just as Goulding and Elliot had years earlier when they provided the voices for Bert and Harry Piel, the animated spokesmen for a New York brewing company.[1]

In 1970, the duo debuted in The Two and Only on Broadway.[13] Bob and Goulding worked together up until Goulding’s death in 1990.[13] In 1990, Elliot portrayed a bank guard in Quick Change.[14] In 1990, he portrayed "Fred Peterson" in the television series Get a Life, which starred Chris as his son. Four years later, the elder Elliott appeared in the Tim Burton production Cabin Boy, playing Chris' father again. In 2004, he appeared in a skit on the Air America radio program The O'Franken Factor.[15]

Personal life[edit]

Elliott married Jane Underwood in 1943. They divorced in 1953 having no children.[1] Bob and Ray writer Raymond Knight died in 1953.[16] In 1954, he married Knight's widow, Lee Elliott (née Peppers) in 1954.[17] They were married for 58 years until her death in 2012.[17] They had two sons together,Chris Elliott and Bob Elliott Jr., and one daughter, Amy Andersen.[5][17] They adopted two children, Colony Elliott Santangelo and Shannon Elliott.[5] In 1987, his oldest granddaughter, Abby Elliott, was born.[18] Abby and her younger sister Bridget (nicknamed "Bridey") were raised in Wilton, Connecticut.[19] They had 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.[5] In 1989, Elliott co-authored son Chris's mock autobiography, Daddy's Boy: A Son's Shocking Account of Life with a Famous Father.[20]

Cast Recording Vinyl LP - Original Cast - Bob And Ray - The Two And Only - Columbia Masterworks - S 30412

Goldmine Grading Standard.

Still Sealed (SS)

Near Mint (NM or M-)

The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good (VG)

Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the cover.

Poor (P), Fair (F)

The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without 
skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on 
all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover 
barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon
