In June 1970 Leonard Nimoy released an LP of vocals: "The New World of Leonard Nimoy." Buddy Emmons was on 3 of the cuts and these are prime examples of the great tone Emmons was getting during his California years 1968-1974. Spock was a sincere and soulful singer.

| Great version of "Let It Be Me", which is one of my favorite songs. Buddy did some great steel work on it! |

Don't get me wrong, I love Buddy's playing, but not enough to go through the pain of listening to Leonard butcher that song.  |

I know, Donny, he really gets that post-beat sentiment into his stylings... not knowing if I should cry on 'Let It Be Me' or go to the next tune to stop crying.
You gotta love him; heartfelt and sincere. Didn't he record The Desiderata?('You are a child of the universe....') yep

His spoken word was effective, but I guess the record company thought they could sell more with singing.
I think he was much better than Shatner, and had the good taste to use pedal steel (which was quite good of course).
