Pepino envy
“The Many Sides of Pepino” — Tony Martinez (1920-2002) on Del-Fi Records. Here’s the singing debut of Pepino from the popular TV show “The Real McCoys”. On ABC from 1957 -1963. Starring Joan Blondell (“A Tree Grows In Brooklyn), Walter Brennan (Three Oscars for Best Supporting Actor), Richard Crenna (“Our Miss Brooks”), Kathleen Nolan, Butch Patrick (soon to become Eddie Munster) and Tony Martinez (above) as “Pepino”.
This show predates my TV days and I don’t think I even saw the reruns. I’m kinda sorry I missed it.

It was a typical ’50s early ’60s show, easier to watch than Beverly Hillbillies, one episode featured Israeli Bombshell Ziva Rodann, and of course we remember Walter Brennan’s recording career. I would buy this album although I’d wonder just how listenable it would be. I liked Pepino, and the rest of the cast.
