That most people would be pretty slow to name an Alan Arkin movie  is a testament to his acting skills. He’s not a showy actor like his contemporaries, De Niro and Pacino, he’s simply a very good one. Maybe by now you can think of the profane grandfather from Little Miss Sunshine, or one of the sadsack salesmen from Glengarry Glen Ross, or if you’re really on your game, you’ll recall Captain John Yossarian from 1970’s Catch-22.

What you probably didn’t know is that he’s also a composer, a pretty darn good singer—and quite the swingin’ cat, too, as evidenced by this clip from a little show from long ago. Arkin sings one of his own compositions, fronting a band called The Electric Mayhem.
