Leonard Nimoy Sings Johnny Cash?

When news hit that Leonard Nimoy had passed away last Friday, like most people, I thought of his long career playing Mr. Spock on Star Trek. But then I also recalled that he'd released several albums back in the late 60's-- including a version of Johnny Cash's 'I Walk The Line'. It may not have been exactly...logical... but it's true.

This article details how it came to be that an actor on a somewhat low-rated (at the time) science fiction television show also went on to sing on and release five different albums, including a few spoken word albums. I remember David Letterman spoofing a couple of Nimoy's songs on his old NBC 'Late Night' show back in the 80's, during a bit called Dave's Record Collection. But sure enough, here's Leonard Nimoy covering the classic, 'I Walk The Line,' which appeared on his fifth studio album, The New World Of Leonard Nimoy. Check it out...
