First time I heard him sing I thought there was some kind of trick being played!

Yeah, it was hard to believe his singing voice after hearing him on the show.

Too bad that he got so typecast with that show that he never had more of a career to show his talent.

RIP Jim.

One of my favorite things when I used to routinely go to the Indianapolis 500 was to hear him sing 'Back Home Again In Indiana' just before the start of the race.
