The Musical Touch Of Leonard Nimoy

On the surface, it seems Leonard Nimoy succeeds at whatever task he tackles. He has acted in films, television, and theater, and most likely will be linked forever to his memorable portrayal of Star Trek's emotionless Mr. Spock. He is an author of poetry and other works, as well as a director and a producer.

During and following Star Trek, Nimoy also released five albums of vocal recordings on Dot Records, including Trek-related songs and cover versions of popular tunes. These recordings are generally regarded as unintentionally camp, though his tongue-in-cheek performance of 'The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins' (see video below) received a fair amount of airplay when Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films were released.
