Lee Marvin: I was born under a Wandering Star

 

 

Out of likes, but  man that was a time for musicals!  Lerner and Lowe.

 

Sang this one many times to my girls before they went to bed.  Those memories a dad never forgets.

This album and Dream of the Blue Turtle are the best two Sting albums bar none. He had the best jazz musicians playing with him in those days. I love this song because it is spooky and mysterious, yet so lyrical.

 an amazing contrast between Lee Marvin and the choir

 

(deadpan amateur vs. polished Broadway musical style professionals) 

Some interesting backstories to that:  They looked for very good singers who could key off of Lee Marvin, meaning they all had to have a wide range of singable notes, so iirc, Lee Marvin gave much credit to the back up singers, making him look like a good singer. 

 

The same was for Clint Eastwood, though he had better vocals than Lee Marvin.

The more I learn about Paint Your Wagon, the more I wonder if it wasn't an intended theme or commentary by the producers. I.e. What is a Western? What is a Musical? 

 

Let's make a Western with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood as leads but have them sing when they both are:

1. Best known for portraying stoic, reserved reluctant hero/antihero characters.

2. Not professional level singers.

 

Vast oversimplification, but still mostly true, Once upon a time, movies were more than simply commerce.

Today I learned that Ice T heads up the metal band Body Count.

 

 

Most people are probably more familiar with him as a rapper.

Spoiler

 

 

I think it's pretty cool when artists explore other genres.

They hit hard when I was in my late teens in the early 90s. This song relegated them to the underground forever. Honestly I didn't even know they were still making music.
