His biggest hit was a song you hear on Saturday Morning. Called Conjunction Junction. From Schoolhouse Rock.

I thought his voice sounded vaguely familiar so I googled him and ... yeah, there's a reason for that.

On 1998-08-06, Jack was on the Phil Hendrie (radio) Show on KFI with his band. Between songs he would make jokes. This is one I haven't forgotten: "Sex and drugs killed my father. He couldn't get either of them so he shot himself."

JACK SHELDON - That Old Black Magic I awoke today thinking of the great musicians, most of them no longer with us, who played with Doc Severinsen in Johnny Carson's Tonight Show orchestra - and trying to recall their longest-serving piano player - who at the end of his life recorded my favorite 'alone together' albums with trumpet great Jack Sheldon. Just the two of them. The name came back to me - “Ross Tompkins” - just as I checked to see 'what's playing right this minute' on Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio: Sure enough (if I didn't know better I'd say What a coincidence!). For the third or fourth time in the past 24 hours, just for me, I like to think, channel 70 is playing Jack Sheldon and an uncredited Ross Tompkins and their delightful “New York Medley” - 8 or 9 minutes of musical joy (that features Vernon Duke's Autumn in New York, Rodgers & Hart's I'll Take Manhattan, and Kander & Ebb's New York, New York). Never at KZbin, including today, but the first Jack Sheldon offering there is one I haven't seen before - a 'live' big band performance in New York almost 40 years ago; posted by a great trumpet-player and a great arranger in his own right, John LaBarbera (Wiki note below). He included a note that this performance of Johnny Mercer's OLD BLACK MAGIC combines “for all you Jack Sheldon fans, comedy and trumpet, plus a great chart by Bill Holman” At New York's Beacon Theater, March 17, 1984. Deepest thanks for sharing John Labarbera. Celebrated this day [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central " kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3mTgKaJqdumprs

WIKIPEDIA note: John LaBarbera (born November 10, 1945) is a trumpeter and arranger who worked with the Buddy Rich Orchestra during the late 1960s. LaBarbera joined Buddy Rich's band in 1968, but moved to Buddy DeFranco's Glenn Miller Band later that year, before rejoining Rich in 1971.[1] "In the 1980s and 1990s he worked principally as a composer and an arranger, supplying new scores for college and high-school big bands and fulfilling commissions for films, television, and commercials".[1] In the area of jazz education, he "directed jazz ensembles at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, from 1988 to 1991 and then joined the faculty in the jazz studies program at the University of Louisville".[1] His On the Wild Side was nominated for a Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album Grammy award in 2004.

Conjunction Junction, I'm Just a Bill, The Body Machine, Them Not-So-Dry Bones, Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla, and other more recent ones that I have never seen because by then I was grown and Saturday morning cartoons were no longer a thing because cable ruined it. Anyway, now after 50 years I can actually put a face to the voice.
