The Song Stylings of Nimoy & Shatner

Inspired by a ridiculous conversation about the universe, some equally ridiculous space music. Leonard Nimoy's album Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space is out of print, for some reason I can't fathom, and used copies are ridiculously expensive. So I'm posting more tracks from it than I ordinarily would. William Shatner's "Theme from Cyrano" actually has a space link. His take on "It Was a Very Good Year"... well, it somehow seems "not of this world", anyway. A couple songs from Shatner's Has Been finish off the post, and aren't especially space-related. They do show the value of a singer teaming up with the right collaborators and producer. I can only hope Nimoy will keep trying until he hits upon just the right combination.
