Bored with being a famous TV star? Make a record!
"People know that singing is not my bag," says Telly Savalas on the liner notes to this 1974 release, "but if I say, 'Hey, this is how Telly feels about this or that song,' I can't mistakes. I can only make mistakes by pretending to be a great singer". A classic example of the "famous actor makes a record" genre, Telly uses his ill-begotten allotment of vinyl to thrill us with mediocre versions of "Something", "You and me against the world", "Rubber bands and bits of string", and many (far too many) others. Unfortunately, Telly's classic New York drawl gets drowned out by the music on all but a few of the tracks, making this album practically worthless even to die-hard Kojak fans. What is an actor doing making a record, you ask? Telly answers this question by modestly saying, "I was asked to make a record". One has to wonder exactly who did the asking, though. |

says: Yes, I have waited on Mr.S (Telly) many times at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. I worked there for 5 years and was so afraid of him at first but then I sneaked up on him and threw a little piece of paper to ask for his autograph(which we were not supposed to do) but did it anyway. He called me over to his table and smiled at me and handed me that paper with his autograph (which says*who loves you baby?) from that day forward we became such good friends, I knew what he lkiked to eat and he liked his toast burned (well done) anyhow, I had left Vegas around the time he was sick but my heart goes out to his family and I treasure those times I met him, waited on him (and Nick) and will treasure those memories as well as his autograph that I was so afraid to ask for, What a wonderful man he was and a great smile that after I was never uncomfortable again to talk or wait on him.
