George Avakian produced Tab Hunter's album as part of the development of the Warner Bros. record label.  After a couple years at the Warner job, he shifted careers a couple more times (in an already diverse, influential and prodigious job history) when in 1964, he began managing the career, arranging the music for, and producing the early recording works of Charles Lloyd.

Charles Lloyd (tenor saxophone, flute) released his debut album Discovery! in 1964 on Columbia Records.

Where Harold Lloyd, Jr. languished in both his aborted acting and music careers, his friend Tab Hunter found success in both.  Breaking out as a matinee idol in the mid-fifties, Hunter then dabbled in music and immediately topped the charts with the song "Young Love" in 1956.  He continued to record, though not enough to rival his acting career, and released his debut album Tab Hunter in 1958 on Warner Bros. Records.

Here is the discography surrounding Tab Hunter's debut album:

Young Love (1956 single)
Don't Let It Get Around (1957 single)
Ninety-Nine Ways (1957 single)
Young Love (1957 EP)

Harold Lloyd, Jr. - Intimate Style (1965)

"Time After Time" by Harold Lloyd, Jr.


Conway Twitty was just a stage name.  The reason for Twitty was that his given name Harold Lloyd Jenkins was too ordinary even though he was named after one of the great silent film comedians, Harold Lloyd.  The silent comedian himself didn't make much noise, but his son and namesake Harold Lloyd, Jr. dabbled in it.  A bit of a tragic ne'er-do-well, Lloyd, Jr. never quite found a calling, but he did release an album Intimate Style in 1965 on Coral Records.

Here is the discography surrounding Harold Lloyd, Jr.'s debut album:
