A Correction: My post about Peggy Lee should have said the album title was "You Go to My Head". The first cut on the album is "While a Cigarette was Burning." Also, I scored a Hawaiian lp on silver seal records yesterday that had an sleeve from Capitol Records. The sleeve had pictures of Gleason and Shearing's early albums on it, and I couldn't help noticing how similar the art and photogaphy were on both. I'm going to try and catch the Gleason movie tonight, although I'm flying to Chicago this evening and may end up missing the first part of it.
The write-up in the paper didn't say anything about Gleason's music or the fact that he was obsessed with the paranormal. I hope they include those elements because I find the public/comic side of his personality the least interesting part of his life.
