David McCallum: Music Is A Part of Me
Sambson | 12/07/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Excellent....have istened to David McCallum for years. Glad his music is available on cd. His arrangement of these popular "pop" hits is outstanding. As an actor, McCallum is good. As a musician,arranger, and conductor, McCallum is great."
Who gets the credit?

"David Mccalum's albums were produced by the super talented David Axelrod; who's well known for contributing to any session he produced in very major ways. On the album "McCallum" (ST 2748) the arranging credit goes to Axelrod's best friend and song writing partner H.B. Barnum. On both "A Bit More Of Me" and "McCallum" both Axlerod and Barnum contributed a song each. McCallum wrote one or two songs for each of his own albums. I have the very strong suspicion that the liner notes on "A Bit More Of Me" reading, "Disc jockeys and fans immediately dubbed it The McCallum Sound..." may possibly be misleading. Not to take away from McCallum fans; as I know very little about his music career, but I know an awful lot about David Axelrod and this reeks of his style of arranging/producing/etc. I suppose the question is: did McCallum arrange anything himself?"

"Makeout music par excellence circa 1966. He could've been the next David Hasselhoff if only he'd have sung. Unfortunately Leonard Bernstein was already directing the NY Philharmonic, so he had never followed up this critical success. His next album "The Secret Sessions" with Lord Buckley, Frank Zappa and David Peel and the Lower East Side was banned in the US by Nixon after the Christmas bombings in 1972."
