@Goedhartbros I haven't seen that one, could you post a link? But still, I say that he did all of his own singing, albeit at times lip-syncing or dubbed. The years he spent at MGM gave him some training at the very least. There's one infamous video of Peter lip-syncing to himself singing "Age of Aquarius" which is rather funny.

@Veggieman87 Can you dub someone on live-television? I have some footage in which Peter is singing a duet with Sammy Davis Jr. on The Frank Sinatra Show (the same episode in which Elvis Presley appears), could that have been dubbed.

@Goedhartbros I'll give you the links to him singing with Jimmy and Miltie, which were done live, so you can compare them to "Easter Parade" or "Good News". He may not have been known as a singer, but he was capable enough. watch?v=PthFLzcON7I

@Veggieman87 Are you 100% sure? He is not known as a singer.

[Veggieman87]

@Goedhartbros As far as I can tell it's him; the accent is too close to his speaking voice to be someone else in my opinion. I've found video where he sings with Milton Berle (of all people) on Berle's show in the 50s, Jimmy Durante in the 60s, and lip-syncing to his own voice if you want links.

[Goedhartbros]

@Veggieman87 In the movies he sings, such as Good News and Easter Parade, did someone dub his voice or did he do the singing himself?

[Veggieman87]

@Goedhartbros He could, but not as well as his famous pallies, Frank, Dino, and Sammy.

Murderer!! He, Bobby and Jack K murdered poor Marilyn. She had organized a 'Tell All 'conference for the day after she was given a lethal injection in Santa Monica hospital (body taken back to her home in LA to make it seem like suicide) to prevent her spilling the beans about Bobby's Bay of Pigs etc etc. She knew too much. She had to be silenced. Her diary and the telephone tapes were stolen and destroyed. Those murderers, however, got their just desserts!

[Goedhartbros]

Could Peter Lawford sing?

What a douche bag Peter Lawford was. A scared little messenger boy that relayed messages for Frank Sinatra and Joe Kennedy. He was a pathetic little drunk that got so wasted at times that he crapped in his pants.
