Was the opera-singer father of Robert Hazard (born Robert Rimato) Bert Rimato?

This article needs a paragraph on his activity in the 1980s, the album releases, the band changes, and such. The Billboard bio and several of the other sources I've added should make that easier plsu I've found Google News to be an invaluable resource. - Dravecky (talk) 19:13, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
