  • What a swingin' tune!

    I'm probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer but was this the main inspiration for the 1980's series Police Squad that starred Leslie Nielson?

  • Lee Marvin was a terrific actor and man. Few people know that Lee was a decorated WWII War Hero, who would downplay his award and never bring up the subject. As tough as he was on the streets of Chicago, he was even tougher in real life fighting for the USA.

  • R.I.P Lee Marvin 1924-1987 one of the world best actors he inspired me to become a drama teacher.

  • I bought this album in mono.

    It's the first album I ever bought.

    I still have it.

    It's all great stuff by Count Basie.

  • lee marvin BOSS

  • This was the sprinboard for Lee Marvins stellar career and such epics as the Killers and Point black that followed in the late 60s. The count was the master of this type of music and has never been bettered quincy Jones included and thats a big call although I admit they go together well.
