Have you ever been pleasantly surprised to hear someone who's not known for their singing, doing it well?
The two examples I have both involve the Sonny & Cher show. Many moons ago(when TVLand was actually *good*), I taped one of their Christmas episodes. One of their guests was William Conrad, and during one sketch, he sang a carol(I want to say "O Come All Ye Faithful," but it's been so long I'm not entirely sure)in this wonderfully deep bass voice. Given his voiceover work through the years, I probably shouldn't have been surprised, but I was impressed.
Last week, while on YouTube, I happened to come upon a clip of Carroll O'Connor singing the closing theme to All In The Family, entitled "Remembering You," for which he also wrote the lyrics. IMHO, had he decided to pursue that as a career path, I think he could've done quite well.
Here's the O'Connor clip:

It was a great channel in the beginning, but now it's just the same old shows shown over and over again.
