When most people think of actors doing spoken-word interpretations of hit songs, they usually think of William Shatner. 

They don’t always think of Telly Savalas.

Which is too bad, because his version of ubiquitous Bread ballad “If” actually bothered the charts in 1975.

In Europe. But hey, a chart is a chart.

And you should see the video for it.



Here’s another, slightly less creepy version (from Top Of The Pops).



Notice how Telly smokes a lot. You could do that in music videos in the 70s.

Two places at once,

This is dF
