(David McCallum 1933-2023)
David's music made me feel better each time I listened to it as I grew up! I could be feeling really down and come home, put on any of his records, and feel up in no time! No drugs needed; besides, David was a terrific role model. I tried the oboe, but realized I should've tried it at 8 yrs.instead of 15! Still, I love it and the English horn best, but learned to love other instruments as well. I also loved hearing him sing too and was glad that the 2 songs +4 more were added to the "A Part of Me"Cd. I only wish that the 3rd and 4th records were combined to make 1 cd + more songs like " Trouble" (the song Illya- David-sang with Nancy Sinatra on the "MFU" episode). I thought there was already a cd as such and hadn't found it, and didn't expect it to be too late. My turntable's old and my speakers are toast. A borrowed Crossley didn't play or last😢 evenly as long as my BIC. Fortunately, I did get to tell David that I loved his records ( especially his music) when I met him in '76 and "78 in Atlanta after 2 plays he performed. Wish I could hear his music played on the remaining "NCIS" episodes. My grandparents even liked it, especially my grandfather (Pop) who played the violin he called a fiddle. David father had an album he called "The Scottish Fiddler". My pop was not Scottish, but Irish 29:19 and my dad played violin and a Muzzette, a double reed like an oboe, in the Shrine Oriental Band.
I was playing this record one day and my grandparents loved it, even the pop songs they called the tunes. My Pop asked who the conductor was and I said David McCallum, the man who also played Illya Kuryakin on "MFU". He shook his head and said "David McCallum Sr. Must be his father then." I showed him the record, but he could barely see as my Pop had cataracts by the late '60s. He said he knew of his music then and I later realised he and David's father were about the same age.
Very cool very 60s.....
Thanks for including David's music! I wish that this record-and "It's Happening"- had been combined to a double like his first two to a cd (with a few songs like "Trouble" and that soliloquy he did on "MFU" 'A Man Is A Horn'). RIP, David.

I wonder why he left out"Mellow Yellow". I was not a Monkee fan, but I like David's version better and Donovan was as Scottish as David. Love David's "White Daisies" the most! It was his song, after all! I believe English horn, not flute, was his 2nd instrument that he learned to play as they are very similar. Still, my band teacher switched me to the flute as he believed it would be easier. Actually, the recorder was easier in college.
The creator of this file took odd liberties, or made errors with the song/track order listing written on screen from that on the actual record, also not including track 3 "Mellow Yellow". Why would "Dad's a Soul Man" include this in the information "Other standout tracks on the album include "Mellow Yellow," which features a groovy bassline and some psychedelic effects,`` and not include the track, baffling?
Here is the original track order as it should be:
1. 98.6 3:23
2. I'm A Believer 3:19
3. Mellow Yellow 2:32 (not included)
4. Penny Lane 3:25
5. 59th Street Bridge Song "Feeling Groovy" 2:24
6. Strawberry Fields Forever 3:00
7. California Dreamin' 2:29
8. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy 3:34
9. B.B. 2:52
10. White Daisies 1:09
11. Oh My! 2:39
