Description of  The Musical Touch of Leonard Nimoy: His fascinating musical career and discography

Nominated for the 2020 Association for Recorded Sound Collections Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research. Hes groovy! Hes sexy! Hes a hit with all the kids! Whos that? Paul McCartney? Davy Jones? NO! its Mr. Spock - WAIT! Its Leonard Nimoy! The two are inseparable and both are cultural icons. This book captures the moment in time in the far out 60s when Leonard Nimoy was signed to a five album record deal for Dot Records, signed a universe of autographs, and toured the country to promote his singing career to throngs of adoring fans. Highly illogical? You be the judge in this one hundred page book filled with full color photos, press clippings, a historical essay, and collectors discography. Find out the story behind the viral Malibu U video The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins and how Leonard Nimoy in his inimitable fashion survived the bumps and bruises from his infamous Golden Throats recordings to live long and prosper as a man of many talents.
