Jack Sheldon (1931 - ) is a jazz trumpet player who came out of the West Coast jazz scene in the 1950's. He has played and led his own groups and orchestras and has appeared and toured with some of the all-time greats in jazz. He also played on several pop recordings and film soundtracks. However, it is his voice that is best known to those who watched the "Schoolhouse Rock" educational series on television. (Jack was the voice of the congressional bill in one cartoon, singing "I'm only a bill".) In the sixties, Jack ventured into stand-up comedy and later starred in his own situation comedy program on CBS-TV?"Run, Buddy, Run". This rare clip is a good example of Jack's talent as a stand-up comedian. The performance is from a TV pilot aired in 1964 on the CBS Network. The program was called "The Nut House". It was produced by Jay Ward and Bill Scott (of "Rocky & Bullwinkle"), but never made it as a regular series. The program was pre-recorded on video tape and aired for one hour. The night the program aired, I recorded much of the sound track on reel-to-reel tape (no home VCR's in those days). Several years later, a kinescope recording of portions of the video tape was made available on a VHS cassette by a mail order house that marketed public-domain material. Fortunately, this routine of Jack's was included in that VHS issue. The routine Jack performed on the program was one he had recorded the year before on a stand-up comedy record album. It's about hunting with a .... + Informações

First ten minutes of a "Casper And Friends" show as aired February 13, 1992. Following the catchy theme song are two Harveytoons with re-recorded soundtracks, competely replacing the original music and dialogue. First, Casper in "Which Is Witch," followed by the Modern Madcap "Fine Feathered Fiend." Closing it out is a promo for "The Simpsons" and then an animated PSA about safety and electricity -- the voice of the firefly sounds like Jack Sheldon, the singer of the SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK songs "Conjunction Junction" and "I'm Just A Bill." The redubbed Harveytoons made their debut in the fall of 1991, but later reverted back to their original soundtracks.. + Informações

For my grand nieces & nephew :-) From Wikipedia: Schoolhouse Rock! is an American series of animated musical educational short films that aired during the Saturday morning children's programming on the US television network ABC. The topics covered included grammar, science, economics, history, mathematics, and civics. The series' original run lasted from 1973 to 1985, and was later revived with both old and new episodes airing from 1993 to 1999. Additional episodes were produced as recently as 2009 for direct-to-video release. Schoolhouse Rock! began as a commercial advertising venture by David McCall. The idea came to McCall when he noticed one of his sons, who was having trouble in school remembering the multiplication tables, knew the lyrics to many current rock songs. The first song recorded was "Three Is A Magic Number", written by Bob Dorough. It tested well, so a children's record was compiled and released. Tom Yohe listened to the first song, and began to doodle pictures to go with the lyrics. He told McCall that the songs would make good animation. When a print workbook version fell through, McCall's company decided to produce their own animated versions of the songs, which they then sold to ABC (which already was McCall's company's biggest advertising account) based on a demo animation of the original "Three Is A Magic Number" for its Saturday morning lineup. They pitched their idea to Michael Eisner, then vice-president of ABC's children's programming division .... + Informações
