R.I.P. ‘Schoolhouse Rock!’ singer Jack Sheldon

[Dan Roth]

I never knew his name until now, but his voice was a huge part of many of our childhoods. Turns out he had an impressive résumé that included serving as the music director and sidekick on The Merv Griffin Show for 18 years; releasing 23 albums as a bandleader between 1955 and 2007; heading his own 17-piece orchestra; working with everyone from Art Pepper, Gerry Mulligan, Benny Goodman, and Frank Sinatra to the Monkees and Tom Waits (from the Yahoo article).
