Bob
McFadden was a singer and voiceover actor best known for his many
contributions to animated cartoons. His best known characters were
Milton the Monster, Cool McCool, and the ThunderCats' Snarf. In cereal
commercials, he played Franken Berry and others. McFadden was born in
East Liverpool, Ohio and was in the United States Navy in World War II
when he got his start as a singer and impressionist. He went on to do
an opening act for the likes of Harry Belafonte in Pittsburgh where he
worked at a steel mill. McFadden continued in this vein for years until
a move to New York in the mid 1960s, which resulted in a great deal of
voice-over work in commercials and animation. In the late 1950s he
collaborated with Rod McKuen on a single entitled "The Beat Generation"
that parodied the then-emerging literary community of the name

I can't figure Marty Allen & Steve Rossi out. I have a couple of their comedy albums, saw them many times on the ED SULLIVAN SHOW way back when, and some months ago viewed their spot on one of the weeks in Feb. '64 when the Beatles were headlining that program. Allen specifically is NOT funny. That "Hello dere!" schtick of his was tedious.
For their 1965 red label MERCURY album ALLEN & ROSSI MEET THE GREAT SOCIETY (MG2105/SR6105), Marty abandons this ubiquitous greeting to even worse effect. He's called on here to play many characters, do dialects, accents, old and young people, celebities and nobodies-- and fails miserably at all of them. Allen does NOT sound remotely like LBJ; he uses a generic Southern accent more suited to Alabama than Texas. His MLK is worse, so are the Italian and German dialects. Talk about no talent, yet this guy played Sullivan dozens of times. Go figure.
Steve Rossi wisely stays out of the way, acting mostly as straight man, narrator and interviewer. He doesn't sing but has contributed lyrics and music to a few songs, one of which, "Dumb," perfectly describes this unfunny record. It is however, a time capsule snapshot of 1965. Mention is made of the new Soviet premier (Kosygin), Lyndon picking a dog up by the ears (reference to a famous photo), NASA's surveying of the lunar surface, Lady Bird's pet project: a cosmetic makeover of the U.S., the War on Poverty and other things then in the news. Too bad none of these were commented upon with any kind of wit. ~amazon.com
