 Telly SavalasTelly Release Date Label MCA Rating:  If Telly Savalas really loved ya, baby, he would have refused MCA's offer to cut this album. Released at the pinnacle of Kojak fever, Telly is the quintessential so-bad-it's-good celebrity record, wrought from nothing but ego and excess. "People know that singing is not my bag," Savalas writes in his liner notes, "but if I say, 'Hey, this is how Telly feels about this or that song,' I can't mistakes. I can only make mistakes by pretending to be a great singer." Ummm...okay. Thing is, no one is asking Savalas to be a great singer -- if nothing else, he's got a wonderfully gritty New York accent that could make for some cool proto-rap spoken word performances, but the producers instead drown him out with overbaked arrangements. Still, you haven't lived until you've heard Savalas interpret classics like &"Something" and &"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." The man puts the "pop" in "lollipop." Jason Ankeny, Rovi |
