A double CD it will be - with a version of Space Oddity featuring Blackers and his missus.

I guess you have to like Shatner a lot (and not heard Bowie's version for a long time!) to like this.

Essentially, I don't have issues with mature men talking their way through a song and hitting bum notes, but it can be done gracefully too.

I just love Lee Marvin's Wandering Star. Must've seen the Paint Your Wagon movie about a 100 times ......... :-[

Shatner has the healthiest attitude in Hollywood about having fun with his former and current career.  he's a hoot!

And I need to watch Paint Your Wagon again.  It's a lot of fun even if not a commercial success.  Any movie brave enough to let Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood sing has to be respected, if not outright treated with hysterical laughter.  I LIKE it!

I loved Paint Your Wagon.

Let's not forget Clint in Bronco Billy.

II may still have the soundtrack vinyl to PYW up in storage (loft)... ;D

This is one perfect example of how someone that could be described as a non-singer sings perfectly... Bob Ezrin produced, with a solo by Dick Wagner... the original version with language that may offend some...

Same song (written for the Read My Lips LP by Bob Ezrin and the late great Michael Kamen) performed live in a truly stunning fashion...

Gran Torino was a great, very humane movie. "Swamp rats" - LOL! There was a message in it. That you can have all the racist jargon and bias in you and still do the right thing when it counts.

I'm not one to watch movies over and over, but I can't resist watching Hang 'Em High and High Plains Drifter every time I see them on the schedule. Hell, I'll even watch Dirty Harry again. Gran Torino was a masterpiece in its own right but it's the kind of movie I watch once.
