Paul Frees - Paul Frees and the Poster People (1970)

"Mama Told Me Not to Come" by Paul Frees (as W. C. Fields)


An impressionist and comedian from an early age on vaudeville and radio, Paul Frees found a natural home doing voices for animation.  Frees was one of the many voice actors working on Rocky & Bullwinkle.  He provided the voice for main baddy, Boris Badinov, and other minor characters.

He released a 1970 novelty comedy album Paul Frees and the Poster People where he sings popular songs in the voices of classic Hollywood actors like Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, and Peter Lorre.

Note: Paul Frees was a prolific voice actor with many iconic characters.  Not all his songs for these characters are included because I'll be treating those characters as their own "artists" with their own pages (like the last blog entry or even *hint* the next one).
