Leonard Nimoy's Fantastic Foray Into The Music Industry
During and following Star Trek, Leonard Nimoy released five albums of vocal recordings on Dot Records, including Trek-related songs and cover versions of popular tunes. The albums were extremely popular and resulted in numerous live appearances and promotional record signings that attracted crowds of fans in the thousands.
The early recordings were produced by Charles Grean, who may be best known as the composer of "Quentin's Theme" for the mid-sixties goth soap opera, Dark Shadows. These recordings are generally regarded as unintentionally camp, though his tongue-in-cheek performance of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" received a fair amount of airplay when Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films were released.
In addition to his own music career he directed a 1985 music video for The Bangles' "Going Down to Liverpool". He makes a brief cameo appearance in the video as their driver. This came about because his son Adam Nimoy(now a frequent television director) was a friend of Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs from college.
Nimoy appeared in Hearts of Space program number 142 - "Whales alive".

- I admit I owned the LP that had the Bilbo Baggins song on it. I wish I still had it. The flip side had Leonard reciting the Desiderata. Spock was my favorite, too, although I also was quite fond of Checkov. Really enjoyed this lens! Blessed!!!
