I remember an article in a magazine in the 70s where someone analyzed a photo of him next to a telephone handset. It said he was right at 8.25, but he was thin, had a lot of girth and, for a long time, was the only large penis in town. I was doing national newscasts the day he died. It was hard NOT to begin the news with: "The largest star in porn has died."
Instead I did a story about how well known he was and that even right-wing religious conservatives, who might CLAIM to have never heard his name nor seen any of his vides, DID know who he was.
Additionally, very early he bought the right to thousands of hours of European porn and became the US distributor and was a nearly user of VHS tape for distribution.
