Telly

Then there are the celebrities (mostly movie and TV stars) who decide that the country just has to hear them sing.  While I have never been able to bring myself to purchase a record by one of the Star Trek duo – William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy – I actually own one by Telly Savalas, Telly.  This album includes a spoken-word version of the Bread song “If” (written by David Gates), which got to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the UK charts in 1975.  The album is not as bad as it could be.
