Competent vocal, compared to Seven Steps to Love. As a Gospel song lover I don't know why they couldn't rename the song. I have no problem with secularizing Gospel songs ( Ray Charles was among the first); but do a complete makeover. Why call it "Down by the Riverside" when it could have been easily retitled as "Down by the Ocean's Tide" or a similar type of title. We know that "I Got a Woman" by Charles was a take on a Gospel song.
I wouldn't say that. Mineo before acting was part of a Bronx gang when he was just a young kid and he was constantly teased in the neighborhood due to his height, plus his father's coffin occupation. He had a difficult time making friend and the only way he did it was smoking a pack of cigars to join a gang that accepted him. Brando screwed anything in sight and tough to work with. Plus Dean was tough to work with, too. Despite their sexual preferences, they were human beings. 50s icons still.
Not a bad voice at all.
