Buddy Guy was interviewed on the Tavis Smiley Show recently. He talked about how he listens to mostly gospel and jazz, along with some country and western, but very little blues . For him, it is about learning how to incorporate the unique bits from others' playing into his (stealing licks, as he put it.)

He mentioned being happy when his sets used to get over in time for him to go see Gene Ammons play.

That's nice. Makes me smile a lot.

We have discussed in the past the Rhino album Golden Throats, which featured...

 

Jack Webb singing Try a Little Tenderness, and

 

William Shatner singing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

I came across the album Movie Stars Sing! today, and of course I thought of Golden Throats right away.

TTK, do you have this one?  It has songs sung by Vince Edwards, Troy Donohue and Ricardo Montalban!
