Here is a strange recording by an even stranger man: Brother Theodore (Gottlieb).
Brother Theodore (born Theodore Gottlieb, 11 November 1906, Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia - 5 April 2001, New York City) was a German monologuist and comedian known for rambling, stream-of-consciousness dialogues which he called "stand up tragedy." He was born into a wealthy family in Düsseldorf, where his father was a magazine publisher. Theodore attended the University of Cologne. At age 32, under Nazi rule, he was imprisoned at the Dachau concentration camp until he signed over his family's fortune for one Reichsmark. After being deported for chess hustling from Switzerland he went to Austria where Albert Einstein, a family friend and alleged lover of his mother, helped him escape to the United States.
Brother Theodore made a number of movie appearances beginning in the 1940s and continuing into the 1990s. These roles were mostly small parts in B-movies, although he did provide the voice of Gollum in the 1977 made-for-television animated version of The Hobbit and the follow-up adaptation of The Return of the King. Talk-show viewers probably remember Theodore for his 16 appearances on NBC's Late Night with David Letterman in the '80s and, prior to that, his appearances on The Merv Griffin Show and The Joey Bishop Show in the '60s and '70s.
Brother Theodore (Gottlieb). You may remember him as the narrator of several Al Adamson movies. Please note the second track is by Clark Ashton Smith, One of (If not the) greatest fantasy writers of all time. ~ Jabass
