The local College hipster radio station actually played his 60s
"Bilbo Baggins" track yesterday when they read the obit. Man,
did that thing stink...even by "Shatner" standards! Cheese-Whiz.
 
You obviously haven't heard Nimoy's 45 "I'd Love Making Love To You".
Fletcher's Castoria via a vinyl 45.
It gets worse.
I loved most of what Nimoy did and I love Golden Throats, but his singing was just bad without any entertaining factor to it. I wrote in an old catalog that his singing had the emotional range of Spock.
His worst offense was his cover of "Proud Mary" ' "Big wheel keep on toinin'; Proud Mary keep on Boinin'!"
 
"Highly Illogical" was the best. Groovy song and good tongue in cheek delivery.


And this cool picture I saw someone post on an FB group I'm in:

Yeah, I'd forgotten about 'Highly Illogical', my memory banks crashed after recollecting Len's version of 'If I had A Hammer'.
 
He covered a Blue Things tune on the LP "The Touch of Leonard Nimoy" - Now's the Time
 
Andy Fraser, bassist for the Blues Breakers and Free passed away at the age of 62. He was battling AIDS and Cancer. Wrote "All Right Now"
