the recordings

Though his career was brief, Allan Sherman created a prolific body of work between 1962 and 1973. His first three albums, the “My Son” series, are considered his classic run, but his later recordings remain beloved by fans, revealing other sides of his humor and his brilliant knack for turning a phrase. Here are a few examples from those first three recordings.
