His name is Taco Ockerse. He did a cover of Puttin' on the Ritz in the 80s. That's it, that's the whole joke. sigh I'll never get those 5 minutes back.

You say that now, but some day you'll be at a social gathering with a bunch of GenX-ers and Boomers, and you'll need an anecdote that they will both relate to, in a way that won't infuriate either of them...and you'll have this particular musical trivia fact, in your back pocket.

You can go ahead and thank me, when that happens.
