Paul Frees (1920 –1986), born Solomon Hersh Frees in Chicago , is better known for his work on Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Walter Lantz, Rankin/Bass and Walt Disney theatrical cartoons during the Golden Age of Animation, and for providing the voice of Boris Badenov in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
Frees was sometimes known as "The Man of a Thousand Voices", an appellation more commonly bestowed on Mel Blanc. [Wikipedia]
A good Paul Frees biography is Ben Ohmart, , Welcome ... Foolish Mortals – The Life & Voices of Paul Frees published in 2004 by BearManor Media. Contains an extensive list of his works (movies, tv, records etc.).
The true aficionado could be delighted with a collection of 349 radio show recordings available in 179 audio CDs or, for the technologically advanced, in 7 mp3 CDs.
