“Wand’rin’ Star” #1 UK 3/7/1970

Lee Marvin had dozens of movie roles prior to starring alongside Clint Eastwood in the old-school musical “Paint Your Wagon.” Marvin reportedly drank heavily during filming, contributing to the flick going way over budget and generally receiving negative reviews. He really wasn’t a singer (co-star Jean Seberg compared his voice to rain gurgling down a rusty pipe), but insisted on doing his own vocals here. It was this week’s #1 record in the UK and kept “Let It Be” out of the top spot.
