I think I have that album on vinyl--will try to dig it out. Pete Rugolo is a very good composer / arranger, btw.

In the 50's and 60's a number of movie and tv stars tried out a career in music--including Vince Edwards from Ben Casey (dueling doctors!!!). Most of them were pretty bad, sometimes archetypally bad (here's looking at you, William Shatner).

Probably a surprise: Anthony Perkins turned out 3 or four decent albums as a jazz vocalist in the torch song style, like Mel Torme but a bit lighter. This one was arranged by the brilliant Marty Paich: https://youtu.be/8eCjVMxSvLw
