The Odd Couple Sings

album cover

"When you talk about embarrassing things that are connected to The Odd Couple, my singing tops the list. Now Tony can sing, but I have a voice like a loud snore. There were 55 musicians and when I started to sing, they all looked up at one time to see if an elephant had come into the studio."

-Jack Klugman, Nick at Nite Online chat, June 4, 1996

In 1973, Tony Randall and Jack Klugman recorded an album called "The Odd Couple Sings" for London Records. Roland Shaw and The London Festival Orchestra and Chorus provided the music and additional vocals.
