Apparently so. Check out these videos of an old jukebox playing one of his old 45s.
According to AllMusic.com, the “Route 66” television star released two albums in 1962. The Collectibles label combined the two into one compact disc in 2000. And, yes, Bobby Troup’s “Route 66” is one of the songs that Maharis recorded.
I didn’t know this excellent actor could also sing. I was a big fan of the TV series “Route 66” when I was an adolescent and was enthralled by the cool corvette Messrs. Maharis and Milner cruised around in across America. I was vicariously cruising with these guys and enjoyed the drama at every stop along the way. I hope all’s well with these two fine actors and hope they can reach out to their many fans. I would love to get my hands on any Maharis music videos or dvds if they exist.
