DOWNLOAD NO.211 - MALCOLM T. ELLIOTT

Jimmy B. has supplied many songs for this blog. Recently we decided to have a day where he came to my place (a trip involving train, car and ferry) to record and repair many of his old vinyl singles. In his collection Jim has a very large set of Oz songs which have not made it to CD. This download is one of the many...

Malcolm T. Elliott b: 1946 Moreland Victoria is a former Oz radio and TV personality. He had a couple of singles on RCA which were moderate hits. One was his slow version of "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth".

Malcolm
's biggest hit was an updated version of the 1950 Phil Harris single "The Thing". It is a more than competent remake of "The Thing". The sound of the music in the backing track is superb but Malcolm's vocals lack comedic sparkle, compared to the vocals done by Phil Harris.

Thanks Jimmy B. for supplying this great oldie. Here is "
The Thing":
