Would you believe Tennessee Tuxedo (Don Adams) tried making a record?
Right around the time that the Beatles made their first foray into the US, Tennessee, along with besties Chumley (Bradley Bolke) and Baldy (Kenny Delmar, who also narrated) form a band, angling to get into a variety show being organized by Stanley Livingston (Mort Marshall). It's too bad the song, "Abra Kadabra", wasn't released as a novelty record, at least as far as I know.
Here's "Wreck of a Record":
Little known fact: Bradley Bolke actually did make a record. He was part of the ensemble cast of Vaughn Meader's "The First Family" in 1961.
Rating: B-.
Reminded I have that "First Family" someplace, and one or two spin-offs I found out there along the way. Didn't realize the NY talent they had on that, since they've done other cartoons for studios like Terrytoons, Paramount and such.
ReplyDeleteI had the First Family LP, and later got Rich Little's sequel on cassette. Both are long gone now.
