Calling all fellow members of that show! Please help me out! I will try but that was over 30 years ago. I seem to remember him trying to be more conversational in his singing, maybe in "Trouble", but the rest, was his usual legit style, with a simple wide eyed ( or should I say "deer in the Headlights) apologetic style... Well, at least in the beginning. But as he continued working with Burt and probably Florence and got more confident, the acting and the singing became more Appropriate to the traditional way the show is Sung, but let 's face it: the people were there to see these 2 big personalities from TV be what they expected them to be, so not too far off from that. Jim's opening night speech started with "Golly, these kids up here work hard".
