In June 1970 Leonard Nimoy released an LP of vocals: "The New World of Leonard Nimoy." Buddy Emmons was on 3 of the cuts and these are prime examples of the great tone Emmons was getting during his California years 1968-1974. Spock was a sincere and soulful singer.

What Memories.One of mind was with my Late friend Johnny Angel & " Day Late and Dollar Short " Band doing the release-party for that show and Mr.Nimoy & Mr.George was so kind and nice to us all. We did it at the Factory. Great gig at that time. Uncle Leo J Eiffert Jr the Drummer.
I know, Donny, he really gets that post-beat sentiment into his stylings... not knowing if I should cry on 'Let It Be Me' or go to the next tune to stop crying.
You gotta love him; heartfelt and sincere. Didn't he record The Desiderata?('You are a child of the universe....') yep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilFzLb9D2fQ
His spoken word was effective, but I guess the record company thought they could sell more with singing.
I think he was much better than Shatner, and had the good taste to use pedal steel (which was quite good of course).
Those that say don't know; those that know don't say.--Buddy Emmons
You want some great steel work from Buddy Emmons.Go on the Internet and look up my old Plain Country Records Recording of my song " Big Buck Cowboy " and you will hear Buddy at his best. Uncle Leo J Eiffert Jr. from our Gold Star Recording Studio days in Hollywood. Thanks to my late friend Mr.Chuck Seals with their " Crazy Arms ".
