davemerrillThis week Found Sound
brings you some songs sung by Jack Wild, star of TV's "HR Pufnstuf" and filmland's "Oliver!" and also various addiction treatment programs, hospitals, and what have you. Child stardom didn't work out for Jack: I mean, check out this album cover.
Dude was 20 when this was taken. 20! Yet the tweens and preteens buying this album, and Jack's management, insisted he remain an elfin man-child long past the age when he should be, you know, an adult.
The songs are pretty standard celebrity bubblegum pop, with a couple of tracks verging strangely into calypso-reggae territory, for some reason. All I know is that parents, when you feel like turning your little kids into TV stars; don't. Just don't.
