Bill Shatner was and always will be "the king bee beyond all others".
He invented his own style of acting and carried that out to the extreme. He built drama and kept things interesting with his quirky pauses now affectionately referred to as 'Shatnerisms', I was a fan of Star Trek practically since I was born --watching Nimoy and Shatner tear up the cosmos together with Bones, Sulu, Scotty, and all the rest of the crew. I still remember watching it at my grandparents house and just imagining myself in space -- exploring the universe.
One of the 'new worlds' explored by Shatner and Nimoy was the world of song back in the sixties (and even with it being "the drug-laden sixties," they still weren't quite ready for this.)
Theme from Cyrano & Mr Tambourine Man -- Skip ahead if you get bored with the Cyrano one (I did.) Tambourine man has some classic moments you shouldn't miss.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds -- This one was my favorite until I found Nimoy's little auditory treasure to be released in a future post.
Time for a live one, William Shatner "sings" "Taxi" on "Dinah!"
