Not bad for an old cowboy. That boxed set was something of a revelation for me having been born after the show was off the air. I highly recommend it. Janis Joplin is on it several times and gives fairly Awesome performances along with great interplay between her and Cavett. Also there is Bowie, George Harrison, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon. The Woodstock show is priceless. Joni Mitchell is magic.

I believe that Tex Ritter had the original hit version of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

He was also accused of singing in the Western musical "Paint Your Wagon," but he was a young man and can be forgiven on account of his brains hadn't grown in yet.

I grabbed an LP copy of the soundtrack to "Paint your Wagon" at the thrifts one day, mainly because I've always heard how awful it was. Haven't had the courage to listen to it yet.

I figure if I ever have a chance to meet him, I'll bring it along and see if he'll autograph it for me...and hope he didn't bring his .44 magnum.......

What about singers that became actors?

Willie Nelson
Kenny Rogers
Reba McIntire

Don't forget Patrick Swazy (Dirty Dancin')

"She's like the Wind" ????

Michelle Pieffer in "The Fabulous Baker Boys". She did a mean version of Makin' Whoopie. I'd make whoopie with her anytime, anywhere, even on the top of that grand piano.....

the cast of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'; they did a musical ep 'Once More with Feeling' early in season 6 (MUST see it to belileve it). SMGellar (Buffy), Anthony Head (Giles), Emma Caulfield (Anya), Amber Benson (Tara), and especially James Marsters (Spike) all did outstanding work. Marsters' 'Let Me Rest in Peace' is unforgettable.
"whisper in a dead man's ear,
doesn't make it real
so let me rest in peace..."
I highly, highly recommend this.

Are you sure about that? I always thought it was Gene Autry

Would you berate me if I said Joaquin Phoenix?

He's definitely no Johnny Cash, but he did better than most would have.
