Big Jim Buchanan, the alter ego of Paul Frees, with a
superb song about the root of all evil!
The late, great Mr. Frees was a talented voice artist
with many accolades to his name.
I especially liked his work with Stan Freberg on his
Stand Freberg Presents The United States of America
recording from 1961, a very strong presence on that album.
He dabbled in acting a bit, his role as a reporter on the original
War of the Worlds flick from 1953 was quite notable.
His voice is so legendary that it is included in the Haunted
Mansion attraction at both Disneyland and Disney World.
He was also the voice of Boris Badenov in the old Rocky and
Bullwinkle Show, gotta love him for that!
This is a great piece, resonates even today…
