Known as the 'King of the Cruise Ships', Ralph enjoys entertaining and traveling worldwide. His first performing act, Achilles and Frank, enjoyed two national hits, The Two Peddler Men and As We Do Today, both written by Ralph, and appeared on The Joey Bishop Show. The duo added a lady to the act and became the F.A.B. Company whose first hit recording Watermelon Is A King's Delight was written by Ralph and launched the group as a top college draw.  F.A.B. Company recorded four extremely successful albums before disbanding in 1982. At that time Ralph developed into a stand-up comic. Although he still peppers his act with his own songs, he has recorded three albums of comedy. Ralph has had his own television special, On Stage with Achilles, and has headlined in nightclubs and major venues throughout his career. Ralph is also an accomplished author.

**A NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE RECORD BUYERS** Despite my attempt to keep my ads informative, yet as simple and uncomplicated as possible, I have realized that record purchasers are another breed entirely. As a result, I am deluged with questions both bizarre, and occasionally frivolous. I have even received a warning prior to shipment to a winning bidder telling me exactly what he expected----or else! I therefore find it necessary to include this explanation of what to expect from me should you choose to buy this or any of my other listed records. To begin, all of these records come from my personal collection. I bought most of them in the 1960s in new condition although some came from close-out bins or a nearby radio station. Almost every one has been played only once or twice (except the radio copies) (it is a huge collection, how many times could I listen to them?!) Being a collector, I also took extremely good care of them. On the other hand, I was, and am, completely UNKNOWLEDGEABLE about details that real collectors have. To begin with, the term excellent describes the fact that I looked at the record under a normal lamp light and did not see obvious flaws. If I notice a scratch, I will mention it. I also will say a cover is perfect unless I see obvious tears or major stains. I say original because most were purchased 50-odd years ago and I want to distinguish them from newer releases---on the other hand, I have no knowledge of dates of pressings. And now, to the most important part---I have noticed other record sellers posting huge disclaimers discussing the scurrilous practices of some buyers, such as switching records that they purchase for others of the same title that they already own that are in considerably worse condition. Or, purchasing a record, and trying to negotiate a lower price after receipt of the merchandise with a threat of negative feedback. I am also sure that there are less-than-honest sellers out there. My position is simply this---my positive feedback speaks for itself----I try to sell exactly what I describe---within the parameters of my own knowledge. If my ad does not include information you require, please ask before you buy and I will try to answer promptly and to the best of my ability. If I cannot don't buy! Also, always understand that you are purchasing a used record---records are known to have clicks, pops, distortions, even occasional slight warping. They had these flaws when I purchased them. If it did not affect their play, I was not concerned. I was listening to the music. If you are expecting perfect sound----buy the CD! I even stupidly accepted return of a record that I was told was not an original, only to re-sell it to a collector who said it certainly was an original. I presume the original buyer recorded it, since it was not available on CD. Those days are over for me. If you buy it, you own it. Everything I mail is sent wrapped in bubble pack and special (expensive) record mailers. I aim to please---as my feedback shows---but if you want to see or hear your record before buying, please go to a record store---not ebay. I apologize for having to write this----but I thank you for reading it.
