An Unsung Singer

"Burning Bridges" was his first released song
Back in the fifties it didn't catch on

In the mid sixties a song he would bring
The movie "Paint Your Wagon " was where he'd sing

Then a duet with Merle Haggard incurred
"Bronco Billy", the flick where it was heard

Though singing was not his most powerful tool
As actor/director Clint Eastwood would rule!

I have heard of the infamous "Paint Your Wagon" but have not yet seen it - actually saw "Bronco Billy," and liked it! Clint has many talents!

I agree completely Michelle! I want to say "Paint Your Wagon" was a musical, but I'm not sure. I never was much on musicals. I watched "Tommy", but didn't really understand it....................80)
