Anthony Perkins - From My Heart
Album, Download, 1958
RCA Records
It’s not unusual for a movie or TV actor to do an album during the late 1950s to 1960s. Even up to the 70s, but I think the actor Anthony Perkins, in the late 50s was very much interested in being a recording star But alas the movie world came upon his door and he answered the knocks of Orson Welles and Hitchcock and history was made. Nevertheless this album came before that knock, and at then there is nothing awkward about his singing. He’s quite good. The material is so-so, but he had the voice to cut it. It would have been interesting to see if he could have added the quirkiness of his acting talent to his music, but alas that didn’t happen. But on the other hand the arrangements are good. It's a shame that he didn't stay with the music making.
