        I first heard him on Stan Kenton's The Stage Door Swings. He had a distinctive voice. He also has a cameo in the Goldblum/Whittaker movie about N.Y. first-call musicians, Lush Life. A one of a kind.

            Two great resources about Jack Sheldon’s career, one a video and the other, a link to great 2011 article in “Jazz Times”.

              I'm sad to hear that. He was also on a TV show named "Run Buddy Run" and sang some of the old "Schoolhouse Rock" commercials.
